The second one has been posted.

Any comments about the format, content, quality, etc. of the call are welcome.  In terms of questions for next time, there is a specific thread for that.

edit:

A transcript by mallocks is now available on the DF Talk page.

On the Wall is a Masterfully engraved carving of Urist McHardcastle and Goblins. Urist McHardcastle is surrounded by the Goblins. The Golbins are stamping on Urist McHardcastle. Urist McHardcaste is laughing at the Goblins. The carving related to the prolonged and bloody death of Urist McHardcastle in the Fall of 1659, the Winter of 1659, and the Spring of 1660. On the engraving is an image of Cheese.

You keep going.

Great talk, thank you!

I love the part with the animal sounds  :D I also like the guitar music, it sounds very much like Toady's. Good work! I'd like to add it to my Dwarf Fortress.  ;)

Still listening, but a quick thought:

At one point during the talk someone (I forget who) mentioned the concept of dwarves leaving the fortress on personal matters ("My grandmother is sick"), and the problem of players getting irritated when dwarves just wander off.  I was thinking, what if this sort of things replace the current "On Break" system?  I.E. Dwarves don't go "On Break" but instead they have reasons to either leave, or at least stop working (a period of mourning after the death of a friend maybe?).

What do you think?
