How long till we can play as monsters?

My guess: 2 years.  I hope the donations continue.  At the moment Toady is making more then I do, but I'm poor. Now if it can just continue for a few years...

Modding the files to allow playing as monsters in adventure mode isn't that hard.

I currently have my game set up to allow exploring as dragons and nightwings.

Playing a cheesemaker in an average Fortress 'round here would be. Freaking. Terrifying.

I doubt we will be able to play them in the normal course of events.  However, as skid said, it is entirely possible with modding.

Under the 'far future' goals.

"# MONSTER: Playing the dragons and other large beasts seems like another good (and fairly easy) extension. You'd have to be careful, since there aren't very many large beasts in the world and you don't want to just possess them and have them all burn out in a blaze of glory. Or maybe you do... or it could just give you new ones. You could also just occasionally have fun going out on an excursion and retiring, then play an adventurer and take a quest from a town to go and dispatch your old self. Related to PowerGoal60."
