Merperson adventurer?
rhavviepoodle:
I have made at least one fort in/under a lake, but I might go ahead and drum up a coastal fort to do some !science! over break. Most lake forts, you want to be airtight. This one, I suppose is going to be at least half submerged. Since the current map I'm playing on doesn't have a good ocean, I'll probably tweak the raws for obligatory merperson vampire science, as well.

Make sure to make an underwater temple and bodyswap with the first merperson that wanders onto the map, so you can go into the temple and become a vampire. :D

Mostly just wanted to add another thought that's been rolling around in my head. I've read that at some point there will be half-breeds, and I would eventually enjoy constructing an Innsmouth-style fort full of merperson/dwarf hybrids. Of course, hopefully by then gods have been a bit fleshed out and it'll be possible to construct proper temples to something akin to an elder thing, or perhaps the addition of a sacrifice mechanic. I'm sure most of this would already be done through modding and roleplay, but I am a sucker for vanilla.

Where did you read that? Half-breeds are an insanely complicated thing to manage under the Dwarf Fortress engine, and are a TREMENDOUS ways off.

I believe this was the thread I remember seeing it be discussed on, but it was some time back and I'm guessing there are more threads than just the one. I do recall hearing that at least one of the three-toe stories involves a half-elf of some stripe, and I don't see why such a character would be included unless it was intended for the mechanic to be included in the game eventually.
