"Rotation arrows" should actually be a new projectile weapon type that spins once it pierces a target's flesh, causing devastating internal damage.

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

This is a great suggestion.

If you're so sure that you're gonna end up killing all of dwarven civilization, why not make a statue depicting 2147483647 dead dwarves, all of which are burning? Name it something good, like Deaddead the Dead Dead Dead-Dead of Dying. Just put it in the main hall or something, as a grim reminder that they're all gonna die.

"Rifled" or helical fletching was already a thing IRL. The wing feathers used when fletching bows already have a bit of natural curve to them, so if the fletcher was smart, they'd give each arrow 3 feathers that all came from the same wing (or at least the same side of different birds. This would mean that all 3 feathers would curve in the same direction, and so when the arrow was fired, it would fly longer & straighter than an arrow whose feathers were "2 from the left wing, 1 from the right" or vice versa. And even if the fletchers didn't know what they were doing, adding the feathers at random would still produce helical fletching 25% of the time.

Crossbow bolts, however, might not have feathers for fletching: Thin wood and parchment were also used. So giving bolts off-center or helical fletching would require more deliberate awareness.

Any fletching used must cancel out the rotational effect, thus minimizing accuracy of projectiles.
Better yet, all arrow & bolt shafts must be curved, rendering them virtually worthless.

Stone is overpowered and available in unlimited numbers. Remove it.

The 666th Bogeyman slain in an evil nightmare biome should drop a shirt with a cloth decoration sewn onto it that reads:  “I slew 666 Bogeymen in <biome name>, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!”.

Good suggestions in the terrible suggestions thread should constitute an immediate permaban.

Each post on the forum should make fun of some other forum user. If not, one should get permanently banned.

You should be banned iff you do not make yourself eligible to be banned for making self-referential meta-jokes on the forum.
