Dear fellow Dwarfmasters and Spiritguides,

I have been playing Dwarf Fortress for some time now and I found it deeply intruiging. The high Roleplayability of the game inspired me to start writing the Chronicles of Boothelps, a Dwarven Outpost in the Jungle of Soul. You might call it a Let's Play in text but it is much more than that. It is the lovechild of my own imagination and the brilliance of Toady One.

A small excerpt from the Prologue:

"When I mustered my pioneers one last time before departure, Urdim the foreman came to me and told me with a big smile
that the lads and lasses had diced over the name our outpost should carry and that they had come up with Cogusen. It sounds
very nice so I inquired about the meaning and regretted my question immediately. Cogusen means ‘Boothelps’. Some proud
fort this is going to be…"

You can read the Chronicles of Boothelps here: http://eichwald.nl/Chronicles_of_Boothelps.pdf

Finished so far:
 - Prologue: World Creation and Embark
 - Year 1: Keas, Mudstone and Miasma

I beg your indulgence, dear readers for my use of the English language. It is not my first language. If you find any mistakes in the text, please send me a private message or email to jceichwald@gmail.com.
If you have any other feedback, criticism or encouragement please leave a reaction below to tell me what you think of my work. I will try to post new chapters as often as possible.

Armok bless you!

Please continue - you tell a fine tale.  Have you read/seen the Chronicles of Likot Udeneb(Soapeater)?  Those are translated from Russian, and while the translation is imperfect English, the fact that a fantasy dwarf is the narrator allows the imperfections to themselves become a "voice".  I would suggest that you much the same - allow your translation to be imperfect without apology and let your tale tell us its soul unfettered.

I agree as to not apologizing bit.

@Erar: Wow, that seems like it took a lot of work, once I have some free time I may read it to steal borrow some tricks from you^^
