There's also the idea of setting up a bloodline game with multiple embarks, serially retired.  Each Player plays a single season before passing it along to the next Player who then unretires their site.  In between, we might have emigrations of dorfs from one site to another and world-gen events like attacks from armies, but legends mode should say whether a dorfed Player and their children are still alive.  If not, that Player just gets removed ftom the list, or has to start over with a new dorf and a new clan...
I like that. Can we also do an adventure mode game if we complete our fortress run before the time-limit? Also, how should we play it, as long as possible before an irl week's up or one in-game year, then pass it on?
I'd say that each Player gets just one in-game season in Fortress Mode, followed by fifteen in-game days (fourteen nights) of adventure mode before passing the save along.  If the adventurer dies before their fifteen days are up, the game is saved and passed along anyway.  This ensures quick turn-around as well as limiting how far adventurers can travel in one go. Deals made with Players whose turns are coming up may allow for rewards of armor to be waiting in return for "forum quests" being completed.  It might be a way to train up the various family members in the warrior arts and give them a bit of a name as companions.  (Although the other version of this is to use adventurers to "weed out" undesirable dwarves of the various noble families, or even to kill/recruit previous adventurer-assassins...)

Forum brethren, you've done it again. I propose the name Dwarfaissance, or perhaps Bloodlines: The real thing as the forum topic name. I'll take a turn school/work dependent.

I spaced out on the way here, but this is definitely happening right?

Probably, is anyone else going to start the fort? Because if no one is, I'm going to kill a Intel Atom and start this up.

I guess, I'm preoccupied with MurderMachines, the Cyclically Dead.

OK, I've got it, You guys choose:
1)   Single island, low number of civs, 20 year history.
2)   World atlas of Earth, low civs, 20 year history.  (World Map the same as in the Natural History Museum game - go check it out.)


I can either post it here or make a new thread.

Not too long a history. Also, anyone object to having a Chronicler or Scribe who, at the end of every turn and after first dorfing creates family trees with ms paint? Maybe a simple portrait and stuff?

I volunteer

Hmmmm. Well if you volunteer, I have no objections. Just so long as I don't have to do it...

Once the founders are named, just put up their descriptions and I'll whip something up

Then at the end of each year i'll update it with relations, new endorfenings etc.

Hey guys: The new game is up and posted as "Royal Bloodlines".

I love me those family trees - I would totally support you doing that.  If you take those files and save them as .png instead of .bmp, and send me the links to them, I'll post them in the OP under the "Timeline" section.  Are you going to use the "dwarf appearance" mod or just names?
