I believe Lepermod included something that allows you to put these otherwise useless artifacts on display (So they basically just become very high-value furniture pieces that everyone can be happy about looking at).

Ok, I've done a quick resize so I can do away with TIMG, except for the one bio. I hope that's more readable without breaking tables. TildeATH posted:I take back everything bad I ever said about you. Even the stuff in private and on 4chan. Yay! Redemption! Slashrat posted:I kinda like the minimap being visible when it isn't immediately obvious where the location being shown is. There's not too much to spoil by having the minimap on, but I do need to be more conscious of it - don't want to lose detail unnecessarily. I have it full screen while playing and then restore it to a smaller window for screenshots .. in this case I think it was ok but I'll watch out for next updates. There is so much awesome in a cat bone toy boat, in my mind. It's not worth as much as you'd hope though. FinalSin posted:HONK HONK HONK is now a serious contender for i poo poo trains' "Best Dwarf Name" title. For some reason, The GoBotSodomizer tickles my funny bone as a dwarf name. Especially when it comes to the bio. And thanks! I wasn't sure how it would be received .. so I'm starting to feel a little more relaxed.

OhCrap posted:I found that as I wrote, the character of my dwarf started to take shape. The stunted language I've used is deliberate - it's actually cut down from more verbose entries. I am sure that you will recognise inspiration from Matul Remrit, and this too is deliberate. I really like the way those dwarfs are represented, and it really fitted my dwarf's character as it evolved .. especially when it turned out to be a relatively young female dwarf who is both impatient and inexperienced.

 From the Private Overseer Files of OhCrap MountainMist, 237, Bronzestabbed New Migrant Assessment - 10th Sandstone, 237 The following new migrants arrived on 8th Sandstone, 237. I have Assessed them Rigorously and my findings follow. "Bikindok" Tradedlances   "Chickenfrogdwarf" Steamgems   "Gnu Sheriff In Town" Budmirrors   "Babies" Tonecrystals As a child, Babies has No Skills of note, but I Assess the following of her Personality for Future Assignment.  "MinorRed" Palacebuck It seems strange to Assess beloved husband, but here it is bereft from feelings. I am a Good Overseer.   "HONK HONK HONK" Fateboat HONK HONK HONK knows many Good Jokes. I hope she will tell them so that the Bad Joke will go away.   "The GoBotSodomizer" Inkedbronze   "CongoJack" Theaterpages I do not question why Children of No Skill also require Aliases.

And there's the migrant bios. I wanted to make sure I posted them before I grabbed some sleep. I've also gone back and added my skills to the main update. Incidentally - I am a guy, and I'm only playing the 'beloved husband' stuff as being in character for my female dwarf - just to set MinorRed's mind at rest  Thanks all. Embarrassingly, I had to look up Mordin Solus - that's awesome. Not what I had in mind, but I like it

 From the Diary of JimmyTheD, Ex-Overseer He broke the Mister. HE BROKE THE MISTER! ALL IT NEEDED WAS TWO BLOODY WALLS WHERE IT WAS LEAKING, AND WALLS AROUND THE WINDMILLS, AND WE'D HAVE BEEN FINE! UGATH WILL GIVE YOU BOILS ON YOUR BOILS, NGALAK WILL CRUSH YOU WITH ROCKS, AND TITHLETH WILL TELL YOUR DIRTIEST FANTASIES TO THE QUEEN, WHO WILL BE DISPLEASED WITH YOUR PERVERSION, YOU BASTARD! Must stay calm... other people will fix the Mister. Everything is... ...Oh, who am I kidding? We're all going to die next time the murk comes!

Hey, have I posted this yet? Here is a map of cities of The Rare Ship and their "owner" groups. So if a dwarf is formerly a member of one of these groups, it means he or she lived in that mountain home. If they're a member of a group that isn't listed here, it's probably a religious organization based at the fortress they live in, which is more tedious to extract from legends mode so I haven't done that. (If you see the Coven of Guts, that's the Ugath worshippers from Pagetin I think, we've been seeing it a lot.) pre:The 34 Cities of The Rare Ship: 86: Logembelal, "Paintfamous", mountain halls Owner: The Noiseless Tour, dwarves 110: Ezumosust, "Hametame", mountain halls Owner: The Bust of Direction, dwarves 153: Babinkeskal, "Friendlyshoots", mountain halls Owner: The Dagger of Authors, dwarves 182: Mamgozlorbam, "Dragonstandards", mountain halls Owner: The Chamber of Shoves, dwarves 214: Thikutamal, "Bookteacher", mountain halls Owner: The Lens of Lights, dwarves 240: Morulakrul, "Pagetin", mountain halls Owner: The Free Razor, dwarves 258: Zuglaruthmik, "Shipshook", mountain halls Owner: The Ageless Rack, dwarves 280: Keskalmelbil, "Shottome", mountain halls Owner: The Confining Urns, dwarves 328: Anuzducim, "Fairworks", mountain halls Owner: The Work of Emeralds, dwarves 368: Bisektun, "Veileddoors", mountain halls Owner: The Greatest City, dwarves 402: Gamiltirist, "Trustedrims", mountain halls Owner: The Cave of Throwing, dwarves 426: Lorgubel, "Toolbulbous", mountain halls Owner: The Hermitic Helms, dwarves 428: Thukkanzon, "Amberhelms", mountain halls Owner: The Momentous Syrup, dwarves 450: Oltarlular, "Gildroot", mountain halls Owner: The Radiant Mine, dwarves 495: Shemtamol, "Planksavior", mountain halls Owner: The Boulders of Direction, dwarves 530: Morulokol, "Pagevoice", mountain halls Owner: The Relieved Lanterns, dwarves 568: Idenzat, "Paddlestab", mountain halls Owner: The Portentous Gloves, dwarves 606: Bisekatis, "Veilstake", mountain halls Owner: The Syrup of Daubbing, dwarves 646: Azinlibash, "Watchaxe", mountain halls Owner: The Lash of Fellowship, dwarves 685: Febrifot, "Arrowblocked", mountain halls Owner: The Bridge of Distinguishing, dwarves 722: Melbilidash, "Tomemoistened", mountain halls Owner: The Sly Lanterns, dwarves 740: Morulvutok, "Pagedfigure", mountain halls Owner: The Pure Stockade, dwarves 815: Asoborrun, "Boardroars", mountain halls Owner: The Furnace of Clashing, dwarves 833: Lisidled, "Clashracks", mountain halls Owner: The Wires of Thundering, dwarves 841: Letmoszokun, "Cobaltsieges", mountain halls Owner: The Bodices of Power, dwarves 870: Regkokeb, "Gloveddwell", mountain halls Owner: The Fortunate Sword, dwarves 876: Ibeshmuthkat, "Roastmansions", mountain halls Owner: The Arrow of Bone, dwarves 890: Asshigos, "Cavepacks", mountain halls Owner: The Paper of Lands, dwarves 909: Kelmorul, "Metalpages", mountain halls Owner: The Lance of Merging, dwarves 953: Onuligam, "Mirrorgorged", mountain halls Owner: The Creation of Slaughter, dwarves 963: Godenlisat, "Ropenotch", mountain halls Owner: The Lash of Tundras, dwarves 986: Ethrambomrek, "Ripewhips", mountain halls Owner: The Manor of Dawn, dwarves 997: Ledmurak, "Rackbold", mountain halls Owner: The Socketed Ship, dwarves 1035: Nishlolok, "Tradegranite", mountain halls Owner: The Coal of Folds, dwarves Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Jul 17, 2012 |

9th Sandstone 237 When the Overseer steps down immediately after finishing a complicated device and the new Overseer's alias is 'OhCrap,' it does not make a dwarf confident. It could however be odder. I have spent time pondering the meaning of 'i poo poo trains.' I thought quite reasonably that he must be a superior teacher. Then I was told he is a recruit and new to the murder of enemies, so how he is supposed to defecate training upon the masses, I don't know. Then I was also told it could refer to caravan trains instead, as when elves come with their cages of wild beasts. I said that sounded very painful. The conversation ended there and so did my meal as cat tallow did not look appealing anymore. Now a Chickenfrogdwarf has joined us and I must resist all urge to ask how high he can jump. The shower-thing at the entrance has been fixed with an axe. The anguished screams of JimmyTheD fill the fortress, but the gods must approve since they have rewarded OhCrap with El Belmondo's corpse and a cat bone toy boat. I think the gods will be angry if I wonder aloud which is the worse reward. I will keep such questions for my diary. I would have more dwarves to talk to at dinner if I kept all questions for my diary, probably.

Uthar Lolor Lamessągam Kilrudzat From Peas Stockadebeaches of the Coven of Guts, called to the service of the Great Shaper. Greetings to you who labor in the halls of bronze, my brothers and sisters. Many of you have heard the true words, but there are those of you who still labor in darkness. We bring to you this message: do not fear! We your brothers of the coven do not seek to do you ill. In the interest of understanding I write these words to tell you of our faith that you too may come to know his light. Many are the ways of our grandfather, and not all will say the same words I say, but nevertheless these words are true. In the beginning time, the world was brought forth from chaos. Many times was the world rejected and destroyed for its incompleteness before the makers were satisfied; some had too many oceans, and some too few, and in some the land was too foul to use or too wholesome to provide the challenge life needs to thrive. When the bones of the world were laid down, the gods set to work. Ngalak brought forth mountains and volcanos. Igest sent his rains to periodically erode the highest peaks. Etest imprisoned the great demons below the lake of fire. Lorsith filled the lakes and streams with fish while Osram and Dakas filled the earth with secret treasures. These things any know who have studied the ancient writings. But where, in all this, was our grandfather? It is not spoken of, but we of his church have always known. While other gods labored with stone or tree or scale, he alone labored in the shaping of flesh. It was he who brought forth the great beasts and set them in Tithleth's caves, but he was unsatisfied with their undulations, their howling, their dust and murk. He brought forth the beasts and birds, but he was unsatisfied with their feathery wings, their quills, their peculiar smells. He brought forth the tree-people, but he was unsatisfied with their laziness. He brought forth the dark-people, but he was unsatisfied with their terrifying features. He brought forth the tall-people, but he was unsatisfied with their inability to hold their liquor. In the end, it was he who shaped our race to surpass all the others. You know this to be true, in your hearts. But then, why do you imagine that his work has ended? He shapes us even today. It was he who decreed that all that live should lose their bodies to the earth, to rot away and make room for new creatures and new life. And when one is born with another hand, or missing their eyes, there are many who would say the gods or fate have harmed them, but we know the truth. These things are gifts from our grandfather, who seeks always to improve us; he shapes our flesh to see what will best serve our race in the days to come. None can know the ways of the god, so how can we say that which survives in a thousand years shall have eyes, or two hands, or one mouth? That is why we of the church honor all shapes that flesh takes, because each is the work of our grandfather, who looks always to the future. Think on my words and come to know truth. For now, I must return to my new service, and ask our grandfather's blessing on this keg of ale. Until we speak again, my brothers and sisters, his peace and love be with each of you.

Reconstructed from engravings on the underside of several rock thrones crafted in Bronzestabbed. Style of engraving is consistent with other samples from The Archivist, but dictation by Dismab 'Tunicate' Calledtool is considered the most likely origin by modern historians. ... has deconstructed Mr. In honor of event I have composed lyrics in traditional style. There once was an overseer craven Who could not read instructions engraven So he went with an axe To disable pump-stacks And next day awoke quite clean-shaven! Ohcrap hums despite crude comedy at his expense. I do not believe he has realized the Poetry, nevertheless in the event production of song becomes forbidden music will be exported clandestinely.

I'm really late in saying how much I love this LP! I can't decide whether 'What Is Fun (Urist Don't Hurt Me)' or the Lego dioramas are my favorite bit. It'd probably be the song if it hadn't left me singing Haddaway in the grocery store. That last update was gold, and so is the byplay between overseers. Leperflesh gives us so much great detail. In short, everybody's awesome.
