Hmm, it's strage. I've just made my 1st pocket world - with dwarves, humans, elves and goblins, 1 city for each. Also it has no evil ocean and a volcano near the ocean (it's shown). But when I ventured there with my adventurer, I found no ocean! I have stair-like terrain, and I can actually jump down the cliff to go to the east further and further, and minimap shows I'm in the ocean! What the hell?

The Straight Dope: What's wrong with cousins marrying?

Easier to see from this one:

   

I guess there wasn't really much choice when it came to reproducing.

Uncle Grandfather? How can I get Perfect Hair Forever?

[TurnpikeLad]

If he was the MOTHER's brother and the paternal grandfather, then there's a bit less Oedipal weirdness going on.  It just means that his dad married his own dad's sister.

Look at this. It comes from the wonderful book "The Bloody Road to Death", by Sven Hassel.

  1. Buffalo is married to his brother's grandmother.
  2. She must also, therefore, be Buffalo's grandmother.
  3. His grandmother's husband must be his grandfather.
  4. This makes Buffalo his own grandfather!!

Lets face it, as messed up as genealogies may be now, as soon as players characters are allowed to marry we are going to see no end to the "most inbred elf contest" threads.

Ba-zing.

[Patarak]

Heheh. Incest is funny.

How would that work, anyhow? Would the grandfaher have to reproduce with his mother or something?

Goddamn, I keep not reading the second page, the button is so small...

[Kagus]

That illustration is messed up.

... in more than one way.  

It shows Mr. Buffalo's Father's Daughter's relationship with her son as being "Mother/Daughter".

I'm gonna turn the number of starting couple down to 3 and see what happens... This should be funny...

A place with magma vent, flux and a lot of ores.
Just a bad thing - salt water and 2/3 lvl aquifier (aquifier is easily penetrated if you dig along the magma vent walls - there're thick walls of warm obsidian so you go past aquifier just fine.

Humans, elves, dwarves, goblins, kobolds (1 town each).

The square on the main map is the one with the volcano.

Several of that mayor's cousins are also her uncles or aunts...
