This is being done with DF2012, right?

Believe this is te case, mostly because of the way profiles are written, with few entries, instead of narrating every piece of interesting furniture a dwarf saw.

Wow, a new chapter is already halfway recorded. Is there anything i possibly can help with? I've been waiting way too long for the last chapter and it ended kind of on the most interesting point. I wish i could play DF myself as cool as you can...

Yeah, this past chapter was a build up to a cliffhanger - that is often how things go in this story, it seems. Fortunately, things should go more quickly in the next couple weeks - I've got a second wind, so to speak, but I don't know how long it will last.

As for helping out, there's nothing anyone else can help with. The next chapter is recorded and I'll begin captioning this evening.

I'm really eager to get as much done before the Fall semester begins. Once school is in session, I will have next to no time to set aside for Roomcarnage.

Have you thought about cleansing the lower half of the fortress with magma? That might get rid of the bodies without the dwarves ever seeing them

Also, for those of you who haven't read Weatherwires, I've compiled the story into a single document, which I've posted in the old thread over on the Fortress Mode Discussion board.

... which is much more legible with the edit link, else the text spans the whole page and the images are centered. At 1920x1080, it's not very readable that way. With the editing controls, it constrains it to a page-width. Here's what I mean.

There might be a way for you to force a page width through formatting - unsure.

Magma doesn't kill undead, and in Roomcarnage's reanimating biome doubtlessly all the dwarves lost to the beast have risen.

Oh shit. There I was, absolutely certain that they laid on the ground, undisturbed and waiting to be found. I guess it's a good reason never to get back there...

It's not out of the question that all of their corpses were mangled by the FB - beasts like that typically don't leave their kills intact. Mangled corpses don't rise again, as I know from experience from experiments with evil biomes, and you can confirm on the wiki.

Except that Roomcarnage is on DF2012, which does not have the mangled corpse mechanic.

Upon reflection, I realize that Magma-duct #2 will either work fine, or flood the area that the militia trains.
Go out there and make those 12 children of yours proud... or I'll draft all of them and send a giant ball of your progeny at the enemy if you die. Fun for the whole family!

Pretty well, I'm about 2/3 of the way through the captions for the latest chapter. I got a new job which has been claiming a lot of my focus, but I've been making steady progress on the story.
