Engraving Game
« on: January 04, 2008, 09:13:00 pm »
Thought this would be fun. Invent an engraving using DF terms describing another game. the next person to post guesses the answer. The one who gets it right makes up a new engraving, and so on.

Alrighty:

On the wall is an engraving of a human and humans in Microline. the human is raising a crowbar. the humans are rejoicing.

Half Life 2 obviously.

On the wall is an engraving of a human and conservative swine in Basalt. The human is selling brownies. The conservative swine are laughing.

Hrmmm... That's a tough one.

Is it a Bay 12 Game?


EDIT: Ooh, I know, Liberal Crime Squad?

EDIT EDIT: This is an engraving of an orc and rats in dolomite. the rats are striking down the orc.

That could really be anything...

Warcraft, Warhammer fantasy, Elder scrolls...  Even dwarf fortress.

Behold the mighty shotgun approach.  Make several assumptions and wait for the secret-holder to tell you which one is right.


If any of those are correct, try this one:

On the wall is an engraving of a gladiator and an elf.  The elf is following the gladiator incessantly.
Engravings don't have stone types.

Elder Scrolls was correct. Morrowind, specifically. Damn rats...

That sounds like Gauntlet to me, but I'm really not certain...

How about:

On the wall is an engraving of a human.  The human is wearing steel armor.  The human is carrying a giant steel corkscrew.

Hmm.   Only thing that comes to mind is Fallout, but I don't remember any giant corkscrews there.

Engraved on the wall is a dwarf and some Murderous Elephants and a demon and a wolf and a berserk groundhog and a demon-carp and a felsite thong. The elephants, demon, wolf, groundhog and demon-carp are laughing. The dwarf is making a plaintive gesture and wearing the thong.

That would be DF i guess.

Engraved on the wall is a ring and a spartan. The spartan is standing on the ring.

Slightly obscure but i think most of us know the game anyway.

This one's really obscure...

Engraved on the floor is an image of a shapeshifter, a human and an amulet. The shapeshifter is raising the amulet. The human is dying.

Here's a slightly simpler one:
Engraved on the wall is a well-crafted image of a gargoyle's head and a bolt. The bolt is sprouting flowers. The gargoyle's head is pierced with the bolt.

Failed one-dwarf challenge in Dwarf Fortress.


Engraved on the wall is a masterful image of a Monkeylord and a Harbinger.  The Harbinger is melting.  The Monkeylord is laughing.
