I have long been interested in joining a Dwarven Succession Game, but I'm too impatient to join the long queues those already existing. So, I was wondering if anyone was interested in starting one with me. The normal bloodline rules would apply, save for one difference: Instead of having me choose what to embark with, I would rather give each of the seven starter players a share of the embark points and allow them to select their skills and items.
I have my world selected, I just need to know if anyone is actually interested before I write the intro.
I'll tell you what. I was just looking at creating a Succession Game myself, and obviously I need at least one other person to get it started.
I've been haunting these forums for quite a while now, and judging by the way you attempted to start your succession game (very little detail given), I'm guessing I'm probably also a bit more familiar with Dwarf Fortress and the player community than you are from years of experience... (that's not to say I'm GOOD, or better, in fact I might well not be- just experienced)
How about if you team up with me to co-host a succession game game?
(I've already started a thread:

I'll try to work with you as an equal to run the thread/game once it's going (although I'll be taking some initiative with worldgen right away), and will also give you the second turn (2 year turns for all players- I find 1 year too short, and I'll start the game right away without waiting for a long list of players) and the choice of whatever Dwarf you want for your character, if you want one.
Only 2 utilities I'll be running, but I don't think either actually change the raws at all (maybe possibly Ironhand- which I strongly advise using anyway so you can understand the aesthetic I was aiming for in my turn's designs), so you should be free to not use them at all if you want:
Ironhand Graphics Set (release 40.07Afor DF 40.07)

http://df.zweistein.cz/soundsense/Let me know if you're interested (PM me) ASAP- I want to get this Succession Game going right away, before I lose the nerve.
In the meantime, I'll be running a worldgen (or two or three- until I get something I like) and checking out possible embark sites- maybe even creating additional sites in the world (which would be retired when the Succession Game begins, and to get a feel for any new bugs that may have been introduced in 40.07, as well as add a little more history to the world for artwork and such...)
