So I want to start a new fortress but I don't want to abandon the one I'm playing now. The problem is that the game will only let me continue as long as the save exists...

Make a new world, start a new fort on the new world. Done.

Having 2 active forts, or an active fort and an active adventurer, isn't possible. You could, mind you, make a copy of the save folder, abandon on one copy, and make a new fort on the abandoned copy's world.

I think with Runesmith you can, but indirectly.

You can't, not really. It's just how DF was designed. You can, however:
1. Make a backup copy of your a folder named 'save', which is inside DF folder
2. Then start DF
3. Retire, and start a new game

If you want to continue your old fort, be sure to delete the existing 'save' folder first, and do not overwrite it with the backup 'save' folder. Merging folders like that may leave behind old files which might cause problems. Toady just doesn't want us to have a normal savegame system :/

I made a new folder with "backup" forts, if I wanted to explore my fort as adventurer.
