I was considering a game for a forum I inhabit that regular runs DF succession games (one guy runs it one year and then he passes it on). My idea isn't very simple, but would be very cool if it could be done.

I was considering building a massive fortress network in a sector, with all kinds of traps (if they'd work in Adventurer mode) and then build up a powerful Adventurer and challenge players to a naked run - starting with nothing, they must use this adventurer to build up equipment and weapons and solve the many tricks and traps of the Four Dungeons and Four Towers!

... a Dungeon Editor would really be nice.

Of course this idea would require the fortress-making player to actually make the fortress beatable. But it would be cool though.

[Metal Chao]

Great idea.
I'd play

I believe the point was:

"I'd like to see a Dungeon Editor mode, where there are no dwarves to command, and all actions are instantly resolved by godly powers, that would allow creative people without the actual fortress-making skill to hand-make complex dungeons to challenge hapless adventurers."

I think I got it all right, no?

This mode can be an extension of the Wizard mode, once it's implemented. Currently, only tools like Dig, Reveal, Water, Teleport, and so on and so forth, that work from outside the game, are capable of doing what you seek.

As a kind of an afterthought, this mode will allow to handmake entire worlds, with custom named beasts and such. Seeing as the game has very large limits regarding sites and entities, one could make a continent on the scale of, say, Daggerfall.

The very rock yawns with anticipation of your next fascinating move.

Your dungeon is full of yogurt!

[Karlito]

actually I'm working on something like this.  I think there are actually plans for an editor in the dev notes.

[Torak]

Get those imps digging and find a portal.

Yeah, that's pretty well close. I wanted to make a massive series of fortresses to go through, as Adventure Mode just lasts seriously dangerous dungeons. On a similiar note, being able to set up events to happen would be pretty cool, like to simulate sneaking through a castle during a Gobby siege.

Your dungeon floor is lumpy; order your minions to jump up and down.

[martinuzz]

A lost dwarf has entered your dungeon.. Oh no wait. No booze. It has wandered off again.

[Core Xii]

Your fortress is on an incline. Angry dwarfs cannot play marbles.

DF is the first game for me that equals (OK have to admit, even beats) the hilarious joy of DKII..

One of your dwarfs does an impression of you. He can even.. He fails miserably.

[Draco18s]

DKII was awesome plus.  I didn't finish it (it's extreme capabilities of crashing) but I enjoyed it like no other game.

Except maybe Descent: Journies in the Dark (the board game).
