Thread: Casual Discourse's Fortress of Dwarves

I decided, against my better judgment, to download and play Dwarf Fortress once again. I never really got into it the first time, but I'm tired of Minecraft and still want to build weird things, or just get destroyed by all the Fun that lurks around every corner.

I'm not going to play a pass-along game, but I am going to involve CD members as my dwarves. I've picked myself, the richest member (KT., instead of #ESATgogogogo because his name won't work), the most reputable (simonj), the most vocal (or post-whorious, ironically this is sycld), the guy who won sheep 2 (infernus), satori_everything because she pretty much epitomizes dorfiness and Vengeful Scars just because.

The group consists of 7 dwarves with varied abilities and a bunch of shit they need to survive in a stupidly complicated world. The name of the group is the "Merchant of Comets" because fuck yeah and the name of our CD Dwarf Fort is "Idletalks the Council of Flames"

Here is a random collection of facts about our 7, hearty dorfs:

coqauvin (brokerminer)

strapped with massive amounts of muscle and lard.
He is mighty and rarely sick, but really slow to heal

enjoys llamas for their jutting teeth and salmon for their beauty. enjoys consuming giant pond turtles and mead

digs holes, negotiates with caravans

sycld (Mechaminer)

very muscular

Very strong, but clumsy and quick to tire.

enjoys hippos for their strength

digs holes, builds traps etc.

satori_everything (MasonCraft)

is very fat.

enjoys eating giant nautilus, but hates hamsters

She has a good memory, but she has poor focus, a little difficulty with words and a meager ability with social relationships

builds things, crafts shit for $$$$$

KT. (Cutter Crafter Builder)

hates fire snakes, Enjoys splints, "sailfin mollies" for their "wide dorsal fins" and "plump helmets" for their "rounded tops"

jack-of-all-trades - butcher, tanner, gem cutter/setter, bone crafter, woodcrafter, building designer

Vengeful Scars (Food Bitch)

Corpulent.

loves cow-leather bins and cave spiders (for their mystery), enjoys beer and "quarry bush" leaves. He has poor spatial sense.

Grows food, cooks food, brews booze, gathers herbs

simonj (MilitialWoodcutter)

would be very thin, but bears an enormous lardy burden

very agile, tough and strong

enjoys raw adamantine, cats and eating gutter cruor

iffy sense for music.

Will chop down trees, wear high heels and run the militia when we need to fight shit

infernus (Hunter)

rarely sick, quick to heal and strong

enjoys buckets and bloated tubers for their stout shape, hates toads

questionable spatial sense (good for hunting!)

goes hunting for things, will help milita shoot things.

With this introduced, when I get time, I will screenshot the fortress once a game year and write stories about the dwarves who survive and how they'll all end up dead anyways.
