Reintroduce Parties - Games & Music
« on: July 20, 2017, 07:18:51 am »

A nice way to progress forward and tie up loose ends with the tavern arc would be to work parties & games together into the tavern system or to spill them out into the meeting zones too. Specific games either requiring certain craft objects (toys like hoops for horshoe games), and other more simplistic ones like charades that can be played without any particular items.

Not to mention celebratory music that is only played during this and other special events to accompany the dancing with the help of bards, with it being listed as a notable fortress event (such as a wedding etc) for reference and dwarves coming away with a memory of how good/bad the venue event was. If you're lucky we'll break out the disgusting slime rain jellatin dessert for the special occasion.

Dwarves are not as sociable as they used to be, as the tavern is only really a temporary fix to the dwarves need to let loose and boogie, adding large increases to their merryment desire and when the dust settles they won't need to visit the tavern for a little while for their regular kicks.

  • If in the case of your tavern is particularly busy due to large influx of dwarves & visitors and you don't want the party madness to spill over, the ability to greenlight whether a tavern is open to host parties would be much required, as well as requiring a minimum space of 5x5 like the existing performance areas around a meeting zone to host a party also.

Once again a congratulations on Threetoe's wedding, i hope the experience was as legendary as some of the do's that dwarves could pull off.

Parties already happen at taverns?

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

Not really, i mean of the kind of description that applies prior to the tavern update but with the relevant modernisation's to fit into the tavern structure as well as occur outside of taverns.

15 naked Elf dancers line the corridor, in the main room a bard is spinning a tale. Ale is flowing, vomit is flying, firefights are occurring. People are socializing off in separate dining areas and a minotaur is transfixed in front of a statue (trying to figure out if he should destroy it or not). Besides games which aren't finished yet, what more does your party need? Oh yeah, crazy man spouting prophecies of doom in the corner. And that's coming right up.

Specific parties, yeah that would be nice. Perhaps after mythgen establishes what is and isn't important to entities. Not sure why you titled the suggestion 're-introduce' though? The generic party is happening right now, just with a lot more interesting stuff going on.
