Halloween 2023 - Spookyfort Presents:

~φ~

The story goes that one man let his greed get the most of him. He built his theme parks with profits first and fear second. Safety wasn't a concern.
All the corners cut left an avalanche of sawdust.

He was buried by it.

His home, his grave, the monument to profits gained and bottom-lines met...

That's that old building up on the hill.

That's the

Welcome to Spookyfort IV: The Overlook

Previous Spookyforts:
Spookyfort I: Crystallake
Spookyfort II: Boomstick/Dogsoldiers Double Feature
Spookyfort III: Livingdead


Ghoulish Rhouls:
- Turns are as long as you want to play. The fort will end on October 31st, so the more turns we can get in, the better!
      -That said: try to finish up within 3 days of grabbing the save.
-  If you need to bail after playing for only a couple weeks in-game, upload and post. No worries!
-  Spookyfort is in 50.09 50.10 50.11 this year! ZM5 and Splint provided Zombies Ate My Dwarves, which does not have graphics. I suggest staying in ASCII unless doing any designations, which then I switch back to graphical mode for, because...well you know.

Spook the dwarves, but try not to kill them! The zombie lawyers will take an arm and a leg...

Halloween 2022 - Spookyfort Presents:

~φ~

Seven dwarves trudge through ankle-deep snow, their spiked boots digging into the permafrost below.

"This is the place," mumbles one of them. The wagon comes to a skittering stop, the water buffalo groan and slump - frosty whiskers surrounding their nostrils.
"Well, looks peaceful enough...," says another. "I had it in my head we'd be up to our necks in monsters by now."
A fungal crow peaks out from below a tarp on the cart. It lets out a swampy caw.

On the horizon, a shambling skeleton locks its leg around the neck of a 2D stickman. A predator drops its invisibility camouflage, then is stabbed with a needle by a mad doctor, who is in-turn tazed by a Combine soldier. A squonk watches on from the shadows, crying. Then, a squawking is heard somewhere above the misty clouds.

There are a lot of mods here, but in my limited play-testing, I didn't get any crashes outside world-gen...but uh...maybe save frequently just in case.

The map is mostly a Joyous tundra, but also includes some Untamed Wilds. I'm expecting some odd creatures on the surface...but the caverns are likely insanely dangerous.

Spook the dwarves, but try not to kill them! We don't want any legal trouble...

Meet the neighbors:



This world is already insane.

Who wants a turn!? I'll be playing tomorrow, hopefully, and will try to blast through the first...year-ish or so and then we can start to enjoy the true chaos of this year's pack.

I recall from last time, gigantic hordes of purple monsters that self replicated and completely destroyed all FPS

so yeah, sign me up

On the list!
Crystallake had some amazing moments. I am still particularly fond of the dwarf who was transformed into a horrible eye-covered fleshbeast, but remained a citizen and fully peaceful.

Spooky me up and spook me in

God that's an awesome TV.
Was this a request to be put on the roster?

[SQman]

That's a lot of mods? That's almost nothing, believe me, I know a bit about assembling modpacks.

Anyway, put me in coach! I ain't afraid of no monster.

[WonderPsycho]

holy shit that's a shitton more mods then the last two spookyforts from what i saw

Yeah this is basically what I meant. I also run DF on a very old small computer, so having a bunch of civs is usually useless for me as I exclusively play on pocket worlds. Look, it's a big pack for me!

Anyway, put me in coach! I ain't afraid of no monster.

Welcome to Hell, SQman!

[AvolitionBrit]

I will take a turn.

[brewer bob]

Christmas Elves

We are doomed!

(Also, sign me up for a turn.)
