Do we know for sure we can use our adventurer's items in fortress mode? If you kill and butcher a dragon and leave it's skin in a fortress, would it be possible for your dwarves to make leather from it? Or would it rot away first?

Added mocman to the list.
I'd also prefer a timelimit of one week, although I know that it could take almost a year for everyone to be able to contribute. Even if the player has a whole week to finish his turn it he should try to do it as quickly as possible. Just add 'Think about the others waiting for you to finish your turn. Imagine what horrible things they would do to you if you didn't.' to the rules and it should be fine.
I like mastahcheese's world-forge idea. I probably imagine it completely different from what he does but it involves volcanoes, so that's fine.

On behalf of all who don't post, I welcome you to the 2013 Dwarf fortress Community world! Enjoy your stay!

I usually don't have alot of forts in one world, so I have no idea if too many fortresses would slow the game down. Any experienced people here?
As for the worlds size, I vote for 'small'.

Of course it would take years to build as a forteress, but it could serve as a basis for many adventurer stories !

Right, it would take alot of time until somebody finishes his or hers first project, expecially with a long sucession list. Does somebody know if designation will be saved if you abandone the fort to come back later? It would make working on a fort together easier.

Also, Toady posted this:

With the upcoming update, say three Barons/Counts/Dudes are vying for power, and in adventure mode I Butcher two "Convince them to revoke their claims" via my axe, will the 3rd account for this and take power? Or will the dead leaders' sons/daughters/Wives/demon-spawn take over the claims and carry them on?

So if a Dwarven Count has a claim on an open King position, and dies before that claim is resolved, will his heir (or whoever takes over the Count position) pursue that claim on the King position, or will they abandon it if there are other claimants already vying for it?

Will titles be handed down if they are hereditary, such as kings with a line of succession handed down via relatives and bloodlines, do you think the game will account for this I mean? I don't mean the positions and titles themselves, but the claims to those positions? For example a Duke is killed and a Count lays claim to his *Empty* position, will the son of the now dead Duke also have a claim? Or will the son just automatically be made Duke regardless of the claim by the Count? I Guess what I'm asking is could a character have a claim to a position that isn't vacant? And if so will a dispute such as that stop the position being filled once the current holder dies?

The claims are made by historical figures, so the child will re-evaluate and make up their mind.  That doesn't involve much now, but they do get to decide.  They don't think about how their parent was involved for instance, even if that should be one of the factors.  If there's just a single claim for a while, that remaining person will get the spot (though I imagine that'll be subject to some extra testing later).  If the position is hereditary and their is an heir, the heir gets the spot before anybody else even has their claim AI kick in, but I imagine that's not going to stop historical figures later on from continuing to fuss.

Assassin's Guilds anyone?

The human traders left.

Humans? Can you tell us who their leader is?

I only worked through the first page

My post is on the first page and I'm not on the list... why does nobody remember about me ;_;

Sorry Sock, I'm putting you on and some others on kefkarazy's list. I did not know about this site, it's friggin awesome.

EDIT: Just realized I should have put you on the second list. *facepalm

Thrain's party, then Balin's, then maybe we'll get to Durin the Last after a few very brief embarks.
Gandalf gonna give it to y'all.

I would join this.

I'll put you on the list.

Was thinking... we should try to build a mega-underground place, populate it with Orcs and then try a reclaim à la Moria

I don't know how we are supposed to realize that. What about caging up hundreds of goblins and releasing them at our adventurers in packs of 10?
