gently caress it. let's just do this. dwarf fortress games rule and if you weren't around for the last one a couple years ago you can skim it here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3801661

the game is obtuse as hell, but it's worth it to learn. all skill levels are welcome. if you want to do a year of a bumbling mess, go for it. that's what makes things fun!

i'll wait to get things started until we have at least a few players.

here's the direct link to the version of the game i'm going to be using for windows people:
http://dffd.bay12games.com/download.php?id=7622&f=PeridexisErrant%27s+Starter+Pack+0.44.12-r08.zip

that's a pack that allows some easy customization of the base game. i'm leaving everything under "gameplay options" on their defaults, so you will have to do that as well. feel free to play with any other options. if you need help finding another os version of it, let me know.

I will do it, but I guarantee all the dwarves will die in a festering, haunted ruin. But only because that's what happens every time I play dwarf fortress

I will also do it

forgot about that old thread, good read
e:

quote:

I realized why all these dwarves keep drowning. I assign them jobs constructing my glorious new road, and they assign themselves the nearest stone to do the job with. Most of these stones are deep in the flooded fortress, but the dwarves aren't deterred by that. They just dive down through the tunnels, grab a boulder, and then realize they can't get out in time. Most of them don't even stop hauling the huge boulder as they flounder around for air. There's no air down there. classicist just died doing the same thing. He didn't let his inability to swim or his mangled foot deter him. These dwarves are too good for me. Too good for this world. so loyal and hardworking, but so loving dumb

tbh, i'd be surprised if we hit your turn before a week, if you're interested in playing. these threads are marathons.

Fingers crossed for ill dragon content

unfortunately I am afflicted with what doctors call "the big dumb" so if anyone has hints tips and tricks about DF that would be cool

since it looks like we have a good list of players I don't feel too guilty about not volunteering, but maybe if I learn a little by the time there's no one left I could give it a shot

big difference from last time is that tantrum spirals are back with vengeance, so should be interesting!

I'm extra excited now.

It's also nice that we have an established version this time so dfhack, dwarf therapist, etc. are actually usable. Managing even midsized forts without dwarf therapist suuuuucks

I know absolutely nothing about this game but so many people seem excited so I am excited to follow along and watch I guess? I can't make heads or tails from the screenshots from the page linked earlier though.
