A Grim Bloody Fable (Story Blog)
« on: May 24, 2014, 02:02:12 am »

A long long time ago I made a Twitter account for the purpose of telling interesting Dwarf Fortress tidbits I ran into. Lately I realized that sometimes longer stories are fun to do too, so I switched my format to a Tumblr blog. And now we have:

A Grim Bloody Fable (...with an unhappy bloody end.)

A title from the world of TF2, but quite applicable to Dwarf Fortress.

My current fortress is Gorgebridged, an unfortunately unmolested fortress with an unfortunately nondescriptive name. It has nothing to do with gorges or bridges. Actually it's my first fort in about 3 years, and it's doing very well for a basic, no-stretch-goal undertaking.

But this blog will contain fortress and adventure mode stories from Numoram, the same world as this goblin civ I described earlier. Most posts will be from the normal point of view of me describing what's happening, but some will be in-character prose-like descriptions.

Follow it if you like. Or not. Whatever's okay with you.
