    dramatic tellings of stories from dwarf fortress so needs to become a permanent thing!
    for a giggle, imagine a light hearted, DF based slice of life comedy anime, with the usual, gory every day insanity of a "well managed" fortress going on.

      @@blipboigilgamesh7865 I bet that I'd work if it were being overseen by Masaaki Yuasa. With all the right tools, people to work with and time at hand, he can spin a colorful but perturbed story from thin air. What's even better is how he pays special attention to detail when it comes to writing out his characters with such disturbing charm, something a dwarf or two can easily have from living in such a fucked up fortress.

    I did a similar thing once. when the update that allowed you to invade other sites came out, the first thing that i intended to do was to constantly invade the nearby necromancer towers, and steal as many books as possible. I put them all in my public library, which was next to the worship hall, and the artifact museum. slowly 1 by 1 everyone began to turn into necromancers. I must have had 10 or so of them at this point, but this was a 200 dwarf fort, a lot of time had passed, and there were a lot of fucking dead things strewn about. the resulting chaos and confusion left many, many dwarves and adventurers dead, strangled by severed arms and cocks. I abandoned the fortress in shame, I couldn't bare to see what I had done to my fortress that I had like 30 damn hours in. I look back on it fondly now but then it wasn't so funny. remember kids;
    losing is fun.
