Define the rest of the stuff.

If Gizogin does not post the raws here, or point people into another direction, I doubt it will be worth it to make new stuff, because it might deviate from the OP's intentions.

Instead, let's make more creatures, one being an avatar of your account, the next, a neutral semi-harmless critter, and a safe/domesticated creature.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

So is the idea for people to be independent critters, or to be rare castes of the (presumably playable) Forumite race.  Is the caste system versatile enough to have castes made of powder, or who trail magma or whatever?

Okay, let's see what we have here.  I'd love to be able to give you guys a progress report, but it would just be a blank page.  I've had a bunch of RL stuff to deal with lately, and my time for DF has suffered greatly.  I can, however, answer your questions and comments.

Make me, a man made out of powder (Just make all my tissues less strain resistant, cream (make me brown on display with black background), and unable to melt, but easily ignitable and quickly damaged by fire. Make my mining min-max really high.
I suppose for myself, you could make a creature with copper strength skin, and a few points in striking. Maybe a weak semi-megabeast?

I can handle people's creature requests.  These shouldn't be a problem.

So is the idea for people to be independent critters, or to be rare castes of the (presumably playable) Forumite race.  Is the caste system versatile enough to have castes made of powder, or who trail magma or whatever?

I was thinking along the lines of mega- and semimegabeasts for individual people.  Putting them into the forumite race would lead to all kinds of !!FUN!!, and would likely make the game unplayable.

so, what if instead everyone trying to creature themselves (wich is really not a bad idea) someone should be modding, you know, the rest of the stuff? like what would hell be? (4chan, please let it be 4chan) and what properties would material "epic" have?  ???

I think that other people should definitely take on whatever parts of this project they want.  You guys shouldn't have to wait a long time for the mod just because of some stuff I have to deal with.  The more people contribute, the better.  I'll definitely deal with arranging everything and making sure it all works together, and I'll also do the individual creature requests and other general stuff, but this is meant to be a community modding project.  If you need help or guidance with anything, or want to claim a certain part to work on, just let me know.

I just noticed I forgot to add [TRAPAVOID] to my creature, so if you could do that, I'd be thankful.

Also, let's try not to go with über-creatures only, for the sake of sanity the fortresses threads.

Wait, forum goer's are being implemented in the mod as well?

*NERD HAPZ*

Well if possible, could I be an animated limestone statue wandering the world... Endangering or Helping the threads.
Maybe benign biome?

Just make a bronze colossus, without the whole bronze thing. Or the "Rape everything in sight" aspect of their personality.

Ha ha, pretty much ;P

Come to think of it, how big do you think dwarves make their statues?

Since human halls are larger, our people probably  8) dwarf them.

In Bay12 Fortress, everybody drinks internet connection and eats electricity.

Every few miles, [the dwarves] stop the cart.  One of the dwarfs (sic) gets off, digs a hole down below the dirt layers, licks the bedrock, and then they know exactly where they are.  It's called GPS: Geological Piquancy Sampling.
