Alright, genned the world, edited the OP. My writing skills are sub-par, so if you could improve on it, please do so.

Now, for the naming of the fortress. The random generator came up with Geartouched. Seems okay to me.

I've chosen an area that is amusingly close to an elven site, containing deep metals and some soil. The area is heavily forested, so we'll have to chop it all down in time.

Cool. What about custom mats?

A problem we have to deal with is that the moddable entries for mats/creatures already have to be genned in the world. This means that when one would mod a creature, of which the extra placeholder entry is already on the site, the creature would suddenly change to the modded creature, if you're still with me. A solution for this would be marking the placeholder's (currently a grizzly bear copy) state of being a copy in the description, which could break immersion. Not changing the entry would surely end op being a lot of FUN.

I'll see if I can get some placeholders for mats.

Also, the placeholders for the creatures are added to a seperate folder file.

Yes, let's add a rule that overseers are able to put their little mods in on their turn. It's limited by the fact that ongoing games can only (correct me if I'm wrong) be modded by changing tokens of existing creatures.

I have a few custom creatures and things myself, that I'll add for some extra fun.

Okay, I'll gen a world and update the OP!

Any preference for a tileset/mod?

Haha. Ok. So does it have a story yet?

Not yet. I was still thinking about a theme. So if you've got any ideas?

I'd be down, I've never done one before.

Cool, I'll add your name to the OP.

This thread is your friend.

Haha, thank you, but I've already posted in that thread, without succes. But it could be that I am being too impatient, of course.

Hey there,

I've been playing DF for about two years now, and was thinking about participating in, or running a succession fort. I don't really care about which tilesets/mods we would use, although I play vanilla with Phoebus' tileset myself.
So, anyone up to a succession fortress?
