If we can tie people up for transport...I'm taking fugitives to a volcano instead of the lawgiver.
One of the reasons I was disappointed that Red Dead Redemption never came out on PC (but LA Noir did, go figure) was the opportunity to lasso people up and drag them behind your horse.

Better yet was hog-tying a bandit, putting him on your horse, riding out to coyote country, and leaving him in the woods. Watch from a safe distance and nyuck-nyuck-nyuck as brutal justice is served.

Also railway tracks. I guess that would be minecart tracks in Dwarf Fortress.

Aaand now I've gone from one fantasy (thanks Logrin) to another that includes riding horses (or other critters) in adventure mode. And pack horses. Do you know how many dead giant cave spiders I could fit on a donkey!?

ps. Headhanger, could you set a deadline for submissons on Strabo so that we will get things rolling once more.
Giving me responsibility is a terrible thing.

On top of that, we now have entries for both Stabo (including Child of Armok's dramatic scene of impending dwarf-death and your scaly abomination rising from the murk of a cavern lake) and Thebi (an extremely BOSS and dramatic submission by Logrin).

And I drew both Forgotten Beasts because I was bored, not because I intended to start a new round.

But a new round would be good. Maybe this should be the lightning round? Draw either beast and screw the rules! We'll return to normal viewing after these technical difficulties.

I don't want to bog things down and delay any more than we already have, but neither do I want to make unfair executive decisions and become a temporary dictator.

To keep things moving, let's have a deadline of the end of the month i.e. Sunday.

Rainbow Gods? And they said there weren't any gay Dwarfs...
And if you think about the story of Noah and the Ark, that might say something about the deity depicted in the Bible. :P

There was a god of nature in one of my games - his high priest was the "First Nut" which I initially took to mean "Most Insane Person."

I have (depending on how well you know me) a dirty mind, so "First Nut" made me think of something ENTIRELY different...
I guess there is a second nut somewhere in the temple.
Probably hanging out just behind the other one... to one side... slightly below (on the next z-level down) so they don't collide when they're running about.
Probably both pretty hairy. And wrinkly.

Very strange priests.

Wasn't there something in the planned features about giving someone a clean kill if they're in pain or something?

If so, an enemy that is "bleeding out" might give you the location of his treasure trove if you agree to give him a warrior's death. I'm guessing that will be the solution for the "surrender! ...even though you're going to die in five minutes regardless" hiccup.

I'm pretty sure it's not a bug, and it's a feature of that "genetics" thing that happened a while back, where children inherit physical charateristics from theri parent. It isn't unusual for a civ to end up looking all extremely similar. I remember one and I was becoming extremely frustrated that every single dwarf that came had "Pale pink skin" or something like that.
They sound a little soft for a true dwarvern fort.
Clearly natural selection in worldgen is broken. The dwarfiest all die I wonder why that is.
Genetic hair length? I guess it's just a glitch in the Matrix.

Which reminds me - does anyone else put their soap stockpile in their gaol or is it just me?

211: As cool as it sounds to carry around the severed heads of your most famous trophy kills, don't. One of these days you will walk into a tower or something and have 15 severed dragon/hydra/werebeast heads jump out of your bags and eat you.
Oh lawd that made me laugh.

213: You've got the treasure, now just leave. No. No, leave. I don't care if you're Legendary +5 everything, there are too many skeletons. No. Just leave! Don't... okay now do you see what happens when you get cocky?

I have also noticed the "extremely long hair epidemic" that seems to be effecting humans across the realm.

And humans' lack of facial hair is a bit uncanny.

I always thought that putting coins in clothes was a representation of pockets, since you can only put a few in there. Or maybe it's just a bug.

Putting coins in coins though... that's just odd. I wanted to put some small lead objects in my waterskin to see if it turns into the most dangerous sap/blackjack in the world.

Repeatedly jump off the necromancer's tower, using a smaller parachute each time, until you become a legendary faller and don't need a parachute.

If you found another egg and struck them against one-another, would you get a sharp roc?

I like that waterfall, and the dwarf about to be brain-drained. Also, what's with the evil face lurking in the shadows? :o

Hey Shook - have you ever heard of Picture Wars?

With your penchant for pixel art, you might like it.
