Hey everyone. Havent been up here in a while. Well, after so long, I have been re-inspired to redo my idea of a Dwarf Fortress game, as posted here. Right now, I think I will start from the basics, which is dwarf creation. Im in the middle of Personalities. It takes a while. 

So, Suggestions and Criticism(not much yet to criticize  (and by not much, I mean there isn't anything  ))  are welcome.

Would this be a forum game or programmed in some sort of interactive engine like Java or C++? It's sort of hard to tell nowadays.

[Org]

Nope. I wish. That would be cool, but its more like a 2-4 player board game with cards and stuff right now. And I might get some web space...

[Org]

UPDATE!
I have 43 personality cards, which is good enough for now. 5 Attribute Cards.Now I think Ill work on the Background Cards.

[Org]

Wait, nope. Scrapping that idea. Not good enough.
