Since the early May of 2014, I've been capturing the story of my most recent fortress, Roomcarnage, in the style of a traditional Let's Play. Each chapter of the story so far consists of a single imgur album containing dozens of images with captions. I've been publishing the story on reddit, where it's being rather well received, and I'm eager to share the tale of Roomcarnage also with the bay12 forums.

What makes the story of Roomcarnage unique amongst Dwarf Fortress Let's Plays is the extensive use of .gifs in the storytelling process. Each chapter includes a large number of .gifs in addition to still images, which help to capture the dynamic nature of the game, even while it is paused.

As I produce additional chapters, I'll edit this thread to include them here. Of course, I'm more than happy to answer any questions about the fortress itself, my overseeing techniques, my storytelling method, or anything else you can think of.

Please enjoy!

Crashmaster:
I expected awesome and have been delivered unto it.
Great everything.

DS:
Thanks! I'm glad you appreciate it.

I've added the newest chapter, as well as spruced up the opening post with a flashy title card. I suppose, once the series is finished, I'll have to go back through and edit each chapter so that it reads more like a continuous story right from the very beginning. I'll leave the editing until the end, though.

MDFification:
 :D It's here!
I freaking love Roomcarnage.

DS:
Yeah! It's here. Probably no update for the next few days - there's a wedding in the family and things are busy. But I hope people are enjoying it!
