The "assigning necromancers as butchers is hilarious" part or the "someone will make every character they can get their hands on a necromancer" part?

Also a valid point: with people able to communicate exponentially quicker (with more processing power for thinking and/or absence of typing/talking by sending the signals directly), culture will evolve much quicker as well. You may see a radically different culture (as different as modern society compared with pre-industrial revolution) within a year of the technology being available.

We're not just dead, thanks to kefka we're going to be mincemeat cookies. We need to finally breach hell. And I think it would be a good idea if we let kefka have as much time with the fort as he wants. Let's see whether he can sustain a fortress rather than have let the bubonic plague run rampage through the fort.

Why he added "your life or your reason" is beyond me. The average DF player doesn't seem to value either.

Yes, but for something to be scary, it has to create an emotional "I'm scared" reaction, and it's safe to say that I am not scared of them (big bugs are less scary than small ones to me).

Wait, do scorpionflies actually sting?

Also, why exactly are we scared of it? If it was a web-spitting winged three-eyed octopus covered in grey feathers, now that would be scary, but an insect isn't really the height of pants-shitting, fight-or-flight instinct-class scariness.

Or we go with the flow of the old Deathgate for 2014 and we do this without gimmicks. A large part of what made Deathgate I so crazy was that every overlord built their deathtraps according to a moments whim and to match the situation at the time. There was no overarching plan, just lots of little gear-shaped plans designed to make the whole thing go "cuckoo".
