Seraphi

There is almost always unlimited water in the caverns, Earth. Sedimentary layers pretty much guarentee coal, and all rock types contain tetrahedrite. Magnetite is usually in sedimentary, too. Also, claystone and slate suck. Dolomite and limestone fulfill the role of both of those, as well as being flux.

I'll take it if nobody else will. I make a bad mage.

Wait, no mods? Why not? Genesis is great, it adds a lot of stuff to farm, a heckton of new races, new dwarvern casts, a better steelworking industry, new workshops (Most of which are VERY helpful (Such as the library/anatomical theater) and very much diversified wildlife and megabeasts (Oh hi there Balor. You are so much more interesting than the old bronze collosus or dragons. What's that, you can breath fire AND have a special poison? Oh you.) And yes, I suggest making a thread for this, and deciding on which rock layers and such we're going for, as well as the map size and etc.

Sure. I recommend using genesis mod, fyi. Also, a volcano.

I used that method to make an apocalypse timer before. I dug out a 30*30 room, and put 10 pressure pads inside, in random locations. I built it in such a way that if they were all triggered , the fort would collapse because they were linked to support pillars keeping it suspended above the magma sea. I then placed a breeding pair of cats in there and walled it off. The cats were modded to move slower than normal, about one fifth of their regular speed. 3.5 years later, I get the message saying that a section of cavern has collapsed, and my fort gets eaten by the SMR. Fun times.

"Your Fortress Has Crumbled To It's End."

Falling items currently act as though they temporarily cease to exist while falling, and all momentum is cancelled upon impact. Although I think there are plans to fix that soon, at least with stuff rolling down ramps.

I can't wait till 2025. Dwarf Fortress version 1.00.00. Also, as soon as moving fortress parts are added, I'm going to build Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Then use it to kill elves. And Nex, yeah, I do. The squad dropped their weapons when I gave the order to attack and started beating a goblin to within an inch of it's life. Here it is: If there was ever a reason to fear dwarves, this is it.

Dwarf Fortress turns people into monsters. I need another migrant wave so I can train another 15 or so legendary soldiers, then I guess I'll open up the circus and build a dining hall down there.

My militia commander went fey and made an adamantine battle axe. The axe itself is nothing special, but the fact that he was an axedwarf beforehand and is now using his own creation to cut down hoardes of demons is.

Ports were forwarded correctly, yes.

If it tastes good and wont kill me, I'll eat it. Even if it does contain mechanically retrieved meat. Of course, McDonalds fits neither of those categories, so I think I'll stick to home made.

I only have about 25% of the total rules, so not really. Beforehand, it was early playtesting, but if we can't take it any farther than that there isn't much point, you see?

Not the game itself, no, but the settings required to get it working messed it up apparently. I can try it again, but if it ends up repeating yesterday, it'll probably be better just to find another game to try. Next Friday, same time, right?

Project was abandoned for no discernable reason. I assume the other two have a 90% completed copy floating around, but I haven't been able to contact them. And yeah, it was supposed to be played on maptool or something of the like.

I'm currently on my other laptop (Worse than my regular one... Somehow.) because my router has suddenly decided to throw a gigantic hissy fit and refuses to allow me to connect. I don't know what BG did, but it did *something*, and now my network is [bleep]ed. As far as I'm concerned, the game could teleport money and success directly into my front room and it would still not be worth this hassle. It's beyond a joke now, you guys saw what my internet was doing yesterday, and today I can't even try to connect at all for some bloody stupid reason.

My router is really angry at me right now.

I connected too, but Dusty went to turn his router off and on like I did about 20 minutes ago. Dunno whats up with that. Something got Fubar'd, probably.

Try this: http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm It's free, and it'll help you check if you'll be able to connect. Which port are we using?

I decided to just go as a dwarvern fighter, because I make a terrible mage, evidently.

2 hours? Oh, I got the timezone conversion wrong. 9:00 PM, which shouldn't conflict with anything else. Excellent.

There may be a slight hiccup with 8:00 PM due to very unfortunate circumstances, but I should be able to make it. If I don't show up by 8:15, just go ahead and start without me. Players can drop in and out of the campaign on a week by week basis anyway, right? After all, not everyone is going to make it every week.

I turn off temperature to conserve fps on my laptop. Thus, spikes make for faster (And more interesting) death.

Although a fun idea is to make a 1x1 platform surrounded by 10 z level drops into spike pits, then line the platform with any trap, glass, wooden, doesn't matter. Heck, stonefall traps would work. The goblins have a 2/3 chance of dodging to their death with every step.

Sounds like the steps we needed to use maptool. Okay, it's all done.
