It's a life-size, mastercrafted papercraft bust of my Dwarf from one of the Dwarf Fortress Succession games I ran! Quite possibly the coolest gift I've ever received. =^_^=

I'm making a game called "Innkeep!", where you run an inn set in a low-fantasy world and try to lighten your guests pockets. Forum topic here.

I am grateful to see people using Phen24 and an over 6 year necromancy of a thread I last posted in.

This is so cool. Did you ever paint it? I'd love to have something like this on my desk, does anyone know where I can get the plans to build this?

[Cool Dwarf Fortress-related Christmas gift] shudders and begins to move!


On a similar note, I got myself mugs with Urist on them for christmas, similar to this one. I'm not quite sure where mine went, though.
