[Man of Paper]

Let me just tell everyone two things before we continue:

I haven't been able to play, let alone keep up with the development of, Dwarf Fortress since just before Bees. Secondly, this all came to me in a heat-induced coma-sleep.

I was talking in a chat room in this dream I had, discussing the finer points of Dwarf Fortress. But the game the few of my dream buddies were discussing was a variant of the fun game we all know and love. It had two modes, like our DF. The first involved overseeing a civilization's trade routes, micromanaging what your couple caravans sold and bought, as well as making sure your guards kept well trained and well equipped. The second mode was this dream-DF's version of Adventure mode. You play as the leader of a single caravan, training yourself in various forms of combat and speechcraft in order to protect, then sell, your goods. You pretty much just traveled from village to village, fortress to fortress, fighting off goblin and elven ambushes and raids, and keeping yourself from being robbed at the various stops.

You may be asking yourself, "MoP, what's your point?" There really isn't one. I just felt the need to share what my brain threw at me.

Heatstroke-induced hallucinations? Sounds like a variation on strange moods to me. Maybe you saw the future?

Does making a thread on the Bay12 forums count as claiming a workshop?

If it does, I think we have an artifact DF mod in the making.

The bad news being that you MIGHT keep your fever for a few years only to go stark raving mad when you realize nobody will ever bring you a green glass keyboard.

Must be a bug, because I don't have any of the skills that correspond to this kind of workshop. Stark raving mad it must be!

Heh, awesome dream!
Once I had some half-remembered dream where I was a member of a fort, and things were going horribly wrong, and it was made of lego for some reason... But I don't really remember that.
Anyway, I've been excited about the possibility of running/joining caravans for ages! One day, one day...

Most people will probably raid the caravans, then raise them from the dead.

Just sayin'.

Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
And, somehow, they all ended up on this forum.
