I'm tired. Not in real life. In DF. Nothing is a good idea anymore. I planned a tower with labor on every floor. It crashed. I was so crushed I didn't play for 3 weeks.
I just want inspiration. Can anyone help with my woes?

Perhaps you would enjoy a race?  The race is to play a map, any map from any mod that takes your fancy, and to have 100 dwarven deaths and burials occur upon this map during your play.  Bonus points for achieving this result sooner rather then later.  There are no restrictions upon when the dwarves must die, or how - only that they be bury-able and buried.  Memorial slabs do not count.

Additional bonus points for creating a thread (or using this one) to cronicle the feat, and extremely larger numbers of bonus points for enticing others to join you in the quest - making this a true race where you all strive to be the fastest.

I honestly thought this was going to be about veterinarians.

SO SIGGIN THAT

I honestly thought this was going to be about veterinarians.

[FearfulJesuit]

So did I. I thought you were going to make the shameful confession that you don't designate your puppies for mass slaughter.

The new version is coming, it ought to give you something to do

You are not a vet.

You are not a vet.

Was just about to do a "inbefore 'get off my lawn'"-post. I was too late.

The new version is salvation. 28 Dwarves Later Anyone?

The new version is salvation.

The new version

I hate you.

This happens to me as well (although I'm nowhere near a DF veterinarian, much less a veteran). The new release will bring back the thrill (EDIT: ninja'd x5).
In my case everything is ruined when I try to go too fast and don't think things through. I think I play too much DF too often.

Here are some ideas, making them up now for my next world due in 10 minutes. Don't know if they're all possible, I'm no good at modding:

Alternate universes
- Play in a world where dwarves are water soluble.
- Play in a world where civilized creatures have no legs.
- Play in a world where civilized creatures have no mouth and don't need to eat. May need to nerf fertiliy.
- Waterworld.
- Waterlessworld.
- Doctor Who edition. All dwarves have two hearts and explode violently on death. Bonus points if you can mod in resurrection or regeneration.
- Skyrim edition, make a dwarven caste dragonborn that can spit fire or have some other FB-esque hability. Put in tons of dragons.
(bonus points if you treat all these special dwarves as the superior beings they are)
- Get a book such as Dune and try to replicate a way of life or social structure within your city.
- Try to survive in impossibly extreme places (use embark anywhere if necessary).
- Try to mod breedable kobolds your dwarves use as their sole means of nourishment.
(bonus points if you can "milk" their blood as a luxury beverage)
- Embark near a volcano, build a temple on top of it and make yearly sacrifices to Armok. If you miss one sacrifice you lose. Bonus points if you only sacrifice dwarves.
- Keep adding things to this list and posting them until someone comes up with something you fancy.

Now. I want to get some stuff off my chest.
Here it is.
Never made Steel.
No magma trap ever.
Not enough elf killing.
No candy. ( Unacsessible )
No FB's.
That is all o can think of.

I'm pretty much the exact same. Burned out on DF. I've made steel, but no amgma traps, no candy, no elf slaughter, etc. Hoping the new version gets me back in the game.
