I didn't really follow Syrupleaf/Gemclod, what was that?

It was a syndrome carried by a forgotten beast called Nol which ended up spreading all over the fortress - as I remember, it made anyone affected by the disease vomit constantly, and anyone who came into contact with the vomit also got infected. The only way it was eventually controlled was to organise the mass bathing of the entire fortress. This was in Gemclod.

Well, I can't say I'm unhappy with that death! It was about as dwarfy as possible, and if I hadn't wanted to be mauled to death by a werehyena in my first month of life I would have bootstrapped my way out of being born. As for ghostly baby overseer, not a chance, I'm afraid. I've never been able to get into DF (though it's now a few years since I actually tried playing it); I've always loved reading about it, but I find the game itself fairly impenetrable. I'd be a particularly inept overseer (which might be apt for a ghost baby, but hey). And I've got a writing portfolio to do at the moment anyway, so creativity for LPs is low on the agenda.

Let me know what you all think. Future histories will contain more than one overseer.

Yes! Keep at these.

1. Qword.

2. Leave him, but he should be conscripted into the militia as soon as he is of age, to atone.

It's great to get a proper overview of the fortress again - as a layperson, it was getting a little impenetrable. Good updates so far, Jazzimus.

RIP Steve, first murked dwarf.

What was the name of the shield JimmytheD made? The something of Neutralling? The FPS counter obscured it.
