So real life happened, leading to my not updating this. Now, reality has blatantly plagiarized the previous RP on this.

We're back! After dealing with a blown PSU (again!) and burnout and all that (hopefully RMA will refund me now).

Breaking News! Giant Alligator mating season has arrived in The Beatiful Prairie and The Murk of Doctrines. Here we see two moderate sized males following a female along the silt-lined banks of the brook Hobbleddangles near the fortress of Bogstandard. These siege-engine-sized reptiles are found in savage areas and become extremely aggressive during the mating season, while high-and-dry temperatures such as those found in these tropical regions greatly increase their stamina, endurance, and speed compared to their temperate-dwelling cousins. Many a sapient being has met their end at the jaws of these fearsome critters.

In which recon1o6 posts their state of mind...

And here's the rest of everything with the save of where things stand as of the end of the first year. Also re recon1o6 some of your links have unfortunately gotten a bit broke...

Like, just in case someone wants to take over. I can continue on from here, in due time. My focus for now will be on the "Boatmurdered 2200" reboot game for a while, which uses Stellaris and will be in the relevant part of the forum.

Ah, fugg, I forgot the "year" really ends on 15th Granite these days.






Literally, the livestream.

I did say I'd upload the Stellaris LP but hey, let's give a shot for Year 2, shall we?

The image of Messer Umbramornings was simply swiped from PatrioticChief at Obsidian and put through some generators. The coin image was created by cutting out the afformentioned image and pasting it over 1) a cutout of the "deal-making dwarves" pic here -> https://www.tribality.com/2018/02/19/22-unusual-dwarf-types/ and 2) an abandoned strip mall pic found here -> https://i.pinimg.com/originals/14/72/28/147228266aa74a579fb6ff03bf61ac07.jpg. Text was added with "Remember 83!" (the year Umbramornings impersonated the mercenary) and some signage, then I coinified it.

The pic of the gold coin was produced layering over a photo from "Best Korea".

In which the fortress is brought a bit up to speed to the 15th of Granite. Sorry, been real tired lately.

http://www.onlinewahn.de/generator/index.htm for the fake ID generator. I didn't use the driving license generator because this one isn't, like, in Germany.

Puppies, same image as before.

Images were clips of : https://jinglzjournal.wordpress.com/2013/07/03/adventure-2-yes-i-am-a-blood-elf-again/ and
https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/185721-culture-tribes-of-the-sun-elves/ run through a slate filter to avoid the issue with "sepia skin and crimson hair". I guess I could have done drawings myself, but, well...

In which plans happen, trading happens, we learn more about our recent visitors, Ral reaches the all-powerful legendary miner level, and we get to the slated migration wave. More will be covered on that matter in the next post...

The avatars for both Dumat and Kumil are based on a "Smoke Weed Everyday" shutterstock. Dumat's was put through a ghost filter and a kaleidoscope filter to produce what you have there. Kumil's was run through a coin generator.

In which a migration wave happens, and we get a GLITCH IN THE MATRIX

The Rant

Must be a glitch in the matrix. I swore to God that Nil was listed as Inod's niece or something. Weird thing is Zefon and Inod are both listed, and included in the LP for the 550 year world of the same seed, as being of unknown parentage. Fuckin' weird man, I did literally go over those, sober, on Saturday, and I took notes, detailed ones, as to who came from what where and when. Nil was a weird case where she was listed as a peasant present in the fort in either Zefon's or Inod's relations list, a real long one at that, and she didn't come until the very last. Which I felt was out of whack. In reality, Nil has no relations at the fort. Maybe there's some bugs at work here? Even stranger, "cull historical figures" is turned off in the Worldgen seed but that's literally worldgen man.

I'm actually going as far as to actually tag Toady One in this.

I'll take some active screenshots of people's relations lists when the push comes to shove and see if the weirdness happens again.

Nil HAS some uncles, possibly some "creepy" uncles, there's three of them, and a bunch of sisters. Inod isn't one of them.

Nil's mother and father are Sodel Ulzestfikod and Stodir Shetbethnish. Paternal Granfather and Grandmother are Tulon and Domas, Maternal Grandmother is Zasit and Maternal Grandfather is Bembul.

There's a lot of them. Let's work down the list.
The Lavender Company pics were created using rollforfantasy.com and I'm posting them separately below in case people want to use them.

For Iden Hatchettest we have the usual mugshot background, the image of Iden Hatchettest, ph.D is credited to Fipsor on deviantart (female dwarf adventurer -> https://www.deviantart.com/fipsor/art/Female-Dwarf-Adventurer-746259421 and the dwarf guard is from the Tales of Terror site. -> https://sites.google.com/site/dqserversite/races/human

Iden Hatchettest's pic has also been used to create a Staff ID card from Tombsmonk U, so you can freely use that.

I used Doll Divine to create Mebzuth Scorchedguild. I wasn't even sure Why TF I went there but it was the best option. I'd have much rather tried to use a WOW thing but, I don't play WOW and don't intend to start. Doll Divine worked OK for this but it's flash based so will be not so operational I guess after 1st January 2021.

Zefon's avatar is here -> https://www.reddit.com/r/libertarianmeme/comments/icjfgb/i_have_seen_people_on_rlibertarian_and/

A secondary bug has also hit us, as the amulet supposed to have been brought by Mebzuth is effectively destroyed (this is a known bug). I'm going to try to fix it but hey, you have the explanation and it's got aventurine spikes so will be a bit hard to err, extricate from the relevant body cavity. I've inquired as to whether I can DFHack this back into existence.

The "Protesters Rounded Up" breaking news has the usual dwarven newsguy (it's from a GIF once posted quite often on these forums) and was run through a flame filter.

Just so you know this image was used before I fixed it, no glitches there:

As the weekend sets in, some more "content" has been generated, or I caught up with. Bogstandard has its first temple, and we have a bit of a graphic for another one of the dwarven immigrants. Some of this is just catching up - YES, THERE'S A NEW POLL OUT. This is for sizing the main guildhall for the farmers guild, and hopefully that will have the infrastructure for like growing stuff. Amazingly, Bogstandard has gotten by without any farming thus far...

Once again, rollforfantasy was used to create The Chapel of Gloves' shield or logo. There were a few options, one of them is just up there. I might just change it around though.

Lorbam Staticmirrors' pic was created using the doll divine dwarf scene creator. I'm not too happy with the results, that's the best effort using that system. Notably, it didn't allow me to use trousers or a hood or cap in this case. I then added a duck beak filter. The background was an andesite rock face from iStock and the sign was created using http://www.online-sign.com/
