Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

Fischer has her own room, filled with mostly kaolitnite furniture. It's all gray due to being carved from a solid magnetite cluster.

@Talvi:

I'm assuming you made that logo thingy? Pretty badass. I recall you having an interest in drawing, and this is pretty much in the same general category, so I for one am pleased by this development.

I'm not faulting you in the slightest for "doing what needed to be done", as you put it. I more-or-less specifically instructed you to do what you wanted, so it's my own damn fault if I didn't like the results. Besides, it's nothing unworkable.

Thanks. Yeah, I made it. It's not drawing so much as a 3D render, though, so it doesn't quite qualify as art. I still can't draw worth much. lol  Thank you, though.

And, I wouldn't go as far as to say I "did what needed to be done"... Not so much as I just let things evolve as I felt they might naturally. Unfortunately, the precise way any character will develop depends completely on the writer. :\ We both know very well how differently we write.

@ChaosMaker - I most definitely don't play DF uninterrupted. My job may involve a computer, but I haven't had time to touch a game of any sort in at least a month, DF or otherwise. (I'm actually "at work" at the moment... Not supposed to be on Bay12, but I'm going to say I'm "researching"... but, in point of fact, I can't be on long.)

@TalonisWolf: I'm assuming you looked up the wiki page for his room before you started out? http://spearbreakers.wikia.com/wiki/Mr_Frog%27s_Laboratory    (RL!Mr Frog may want to change some of it before you do anything, though - I'm not sure he's actually visited that wiki page.) I'm really looking forwards to seeing what you turn out, though.

And... Hmm... oddly enough, none of my characters have rooms that would look very interesting at all. I guess Kenzon's condo might look cool, but other than that... Vanya just bunked in Mr Frog's guest room, Talvi's room is shaped like a cavy but pretty much empty except for statues, and everybody else either sleeps outside or outside the bounds of anything I wrote. lol

Hey Tal, remember the PM I sent a while back?

[ChaosMaker]

Mr.Frog-thanks for the input

Talvi-sorry bout that, good luck with work! (also nice job making that sneaky comment!)

Finally- Really looking forward to spearbreakers 2! <revenge of the mugs>

[Mr Frog]

@Talonis:

I never really put much thought into what his room would look like... There'd be a bed, a writing desk, a workbench surrounded by unidentifiable mechanisms and tools, a counter on the side with various chemistry equipment on, and a large barrel of water for washing up. Maybe some books on a shelf.

Meanwhile, I'm just going to blink in confusion/horror at the fact that Mr Frog's room is apparently significant enough in its own right to merit its own wiki page and go back to bed without reading it. I'm not feeling well today.

  Noted. I may still draw the barracks simply to have fun drawing dwarves sparring, though.

  I did not look for his room on the wiki, I looked through the entire thread instead...
Also, I was hoping to cut out anything Mr Frog might wish wasn't there... no need to add to the flames.

  And, at last but not least:

@Talonis:

I never really put much thought into what his room would look like... There'd be a bed, a writing desk, a workbench surrounded by unidentifiable mechanisms and tools, a counter on the side with various chemistry equipment on, and a large barrel of water for washing up. Maybe some books on a shelf.

I actually have the chemistry equipment already drawn...

I remember a passing mention(s) of Dorf Mr Frog engraving. This, combined with his nature to protect everything via trap, made me think he'd engrave his own desk such that there would be all sorts of nasty surprises...

A.k.a he has a *desk* that looks spectacularly engraved.

  I'll finish a rough sketch, put it out it on "Imgur" (before dwarf fortress I'd never even heard of it, and now I have good reason to make an account) and see what areas I'd need to fix through you guys.

Edit: Wiki says that he doesn't have glass test tubes... so I made a minor error. On the other hand,
Mr Frog said that he had chemistry equipment, and I believe that Dorf Mr Frog had arranged to get them via Caravan. Can someone clarify?

EditEdit:Does Mr Frog sleep in the lab? It's implied, but I want to know for sure before I draw a bed.

[Mr Frog]

@Talonis:

I'm pretty sure Frog's lab is also his bedroom (that bit might have changed). I'd imagine he'd eat there, too. It's kind of his sanctuary.

@Talonis:

Alright, so things more or less certain:

-Bed

-Table

-Cabinet with Futuristic Lock(Any dwarf can pick a traditional one unless nuts)

-Dining Table

-Lab/Work Desk

-Stool

-Lab Equipment

Things less certain:

-Chainswords/pikes/whatnot in various states of assembly

-Old Overseer reports from term in "office"

-Glass test tubes

-Portal(He wouldn't have it in plain sight)

-Reports on Spawn, Zombies, etc.


  Am I forgetting anything? What are your opinions?

[Baffler]

Looking forward to it, Talonis. Also what is this logo? I can't seem to find it.

@Mr Frog
This was the only one I got around to doing.
Aquí.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is a worn leather bound book containing the journal of Baffler the Dwarf. The handwriting is sloppy, and tends to run on.

Well journal, I figure it's about time I started writing in you like we're all supposed to. I never had anything to write, a hauler's life ain't the most exciting a dwarf can get, but there's always more work to be done. I figure I'll write a little something before I get to my work assignment for today. I'm supposed to haul some bins down to the stockpile to fill up with mugs. Am I sick of mugs, journal! They make all kinds here to foist off on whatever merchant will take them. I've hauled more mugs in my years here than most dwarves'll ever see in their whole lives, and there'll still be more tomorrow. It ain't all bad hauling though, I never seen a dwarf so happy as when I come in with a barrel of booze or plump helmet roasts, and I get to travel too. I get first crack at a lot of new barrels too, at least if the brewer didn't skim off the top. I've been all across this fort and back again a dozen times, from the depot to the deepest forges and everywhere in between, even been down to the deepest cavern that they say is sure to be hell itself. That'll be a story to tell the kids someday.

Speaking of stories, It's been a pretty crazy couple of weeks! We got migrants in for the first time in Armok knows how long. I heard we even got a noble, some representative from the Guild of Bowyers. Maybe I'll meet her sometime, but I don't have time to talk to anyone I meet in the halls when there's hauling to do. There was also some big ruckus about a monster in the caverns, some kinda bird monster, That's nothing new, journal, but this time something must've went wrong. I saw a couple of the guys that usually get on hospital duty rushin' down to the caverns at full tilt like they were on fire. Not too long after I saw them coming up with a few bodies. I didn't see who two of them were because of their armor, but I recognized Uvash. He was a plucky bugger, I'll give him that, shame to see him go. I heard the other two didn't live long after that. I haven't seen the guard captain either, Megaman. I don't know what happened to him, but I imagine he'll be replaced quick enough. They usually take on haulers like me, or other dwarves without respectable jobs when an opening like this fills up. I'm not a young woman anymore, journal, and the last thing I need is a pike shoved in my hand.

Anyway, I'd better not take too much more time. The manager'll be mad if I'm late with those mugs, but you've got a good ear, if nothing else. And Armok knows a good ear's hard to come by.

[Splint]

Funny thing is I don't think we produce mugs anymore. We actually had so many that if we gave them all away we'd probably supply two whole countries with drinking vessels.

Fixed that for you.

During my turn, I gave away nearly 1000 mugs and it barely dented our supplies.

This place is exactly as I remembered it.

Discussing how everyone is drowning in mugs, spawn, zombies, and Fischer is a badass who never dies, although she might sleep forever.

Fischer's the Sleeping Beauty of Spearbreakers.
Though the beauty part is up for debate.

Do you guys think a Scythod could be a surgeon?
