Construct an entire fortress out of tallow.

That's right, tallow.

Make every possible thing out of rendered fat.

Make a fortress completely walled with coal and packed to the bursting point with booze. Also, this fortress must breed dragons.

To my knowledge, you can't make anything out of tallow except food and soap.  You'd just have some fat, clean dwarves sitting out in a field.

"The Ashen Vale" sounds very interesting, but when it turns out to be a Dwarven town made from blocks of ashes...  Even better!

Fat, ashes...  See if it's possible to edit the raws or something to build a literal sand castle with sand blocks.

You can trade for blocks made from soil.

Ancient Dwarven secret I bet.

I've been planning to try a fort starting with no skills, supplies, food, tools, or pets. Tho I doubt it'd be too hard.

Ethiopian Legacy Fort: Bring all the food and booze you can, with no farming or other resupply. See how much you can accomplish before everyone starves to death. Reclaim and repeat. Maybe theme it in shades of religion, and build a temple complex to Armok.

For extra fun, make a community game of it - everyone reclaims, then plays until their dwarves starve, only ever having the food they brought with them.
