I'd like to nominate Roomcarnage, if it hasn't been nominated already.  Unique starting location, and awesome way of dealing with the undead.

  Armok's Beard! This guys literally been forced underground, besieged by the undead and husks. In the face of this threat, he swears revenge upon the glacier known as the 'Ice of Ghosts' and has... well, the specifics wouldn't be any fun, so suffice to say Magma and Ice react in very interesting ways. The story is told through the 'extensive use of .gifs' used to capture the dynamic nature of the game.

  +1 to Roomcarnage, use the above paragraph as the Intro. since none were provided.

+1 Roomcarnage An interesting tale of a fortress surviving in one of the most uninhabitable places in all of dwarf fortress.

The site for Nist Akath appears to have disappeared. Is there a PDF or mirror available?

I too support Roomcarnage, by the way.

I second this. I went to check on the story and the link was broken.

Oh and +1 Roomcarnage.

This is legitimately saddening. Nist Akath is perhaps the only DF story I've read that I wish was longer. Until further notice, I suppose the link should just go to the thread on the forums.

I don't know if it's fair for me to nominate this thread since i have recently taken interest in it to the point of participation, but i believe dwarf fortress from scratch deserves a look.

Basically some modder (halfling) decided to delete the entire raws folder from the game, put whatever the game needed to physically run into place, then posted it on google for any modder to tamper with and tweak. the only real guidline is "it's scifi themed." After finally learning how to read the raws, i have realized it is a mass of abominations and mad scientists nightmares wandering around a deserted wasteland of a planet, sustained only by carnage.... on the rare chance you won't meet imperialistic alien civiliations, or Insectoid overlords, you will get to enjoy the local wildlife.... or they will enjoy you... eating you that is

So they did not, in fact, mod the game at all...

oh everything is modded by anyone who knows how, so there is little communication on what is actually put in, not to mention that no vanilla raws, are used, meaning skin/hair /bone/iron/dirt/grass all had to be created by someone... people just pop in and out and add whatever they think is cool
