Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

Decided to carve out a dormitory with chests and cabinets for the Skulkers. And any dwarves who are too sleepy to go up to the living level.

[Xahnel]

You so sweet, Splint. Question: i read gemclod a while back, and they made mention of rock guitars. Was that purely flavor, or was that added for parties? If it was a thing... Perhaps it's time there was a band in spearbreakers. If there's ever time between seiges, that is. EDIT: Might not have been gemclod... Coulda been syrupleaf... ...now i've confused myself.

[Splint]

.... I don't recall that, but then I haven't finished reading it.

[Mr Frog]

@Xaxah:

I don't think guitars are in the vanilla game in any capacity, no. Certainly could have been modded in, and since any instrument can be made of stone, well...

Also: that question isn't related to Spearbreakers save for the most tangential of connections.

I'm still in 'HALT, CRIMINAL' Mode. I'll chill in a bit. Just tread lightly for a few hours.

Also, you do not need to apologize, which I suspect you're about to. Or, for that matter, comment on how you're not going to apologize.

[Hanslanda]

Sheesh, I didn't want to, but I feel I must contribute to make this all worth it.

Fight Scene, Alternative Viewpoint

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hans stood beside Urist, standing loosely and unconcernedly. He'd trained with these dwarves for a long time now, and he thought he knew their fighting styles well enough to make this fun. The first soldier in line held a short sword and a shield, and was dashing at Hans with the shield held up before him as a battering ram. Hans grinned to himself, and stood his ground. He twisted when the dwarf barged into him with the shield, deflecting its momentum off to the side, and Hans grabbed the dwarf's suddenly thrusting sword arm.
The thrust went wide as Hans stepped and lifted, locking the dwarf's elbow tightly. Hans held the dwarf easily with one hand as the next soldier stabbed at him brutally with his spear. Hans let the dwarf graze his flank with the spear, leaving a superficial wound, and kicked the soldier in the knee, shattering the knee cap. As the dwarf staggered, Hans flicked his wrist, and forced the still-armlocked dwarf to jump forward into the crippled soldier. The two fell in a heap, tangled limbs flailing.
Hans smiled peacefully as the third soldier and Draignean came at him. Draignean jabbed with his pike, dramatically roaring Hans' name as he did so. Hans sidestepped the jab, and punched Draignean in the face. Draignean staggered back, not wounded, but very concerned for his precious face. The other dwarf punched Hans in the face from the side, and stars exploded in Hans' vision.
Hans turned back to the dwarf slowly, and grinned at him. The soldier gaped a bit, and slammed his mace into Hans' stomach. Hans doubled over, and puked up his lunch on the floor unceremoniously. The soldier snarled and brought his mace around for another swing at the back of Hans' head. Hans barrelled into him before he could, and slammed him into a wall forcefully. Once, then again. Ribs cracked under the heavy slams, and Hans dropped the brutalized dwarf. Draignean had recovered from his worry over disfigurement, and tackled Hans face first into the wall he'd just beaten the other soldier down with.
Draignean slipped his pike over Hans' throat, and locked his arms around it, squeezing the shaft tightly against Hans' throat, choking the larger dwarf. Hans fought through the growing haze in his vision to turn, lifting Draignean bodily as he did. Another soldier was standing to the side of this battle of wills, and Hans dashed at him with Draignean hanging on for dear life on his back. The three collided and collapsed in a pile on the floor, Draignean still choking Hans. The other soldier was punching at both combatants furiously, and a third dwarven soldier came from further down the corridor to start aiming careful kicks at Hans.
Finally, the three soldiers realized the big dwarf was no longer fighting back, and stopped attacking him. Draignean rolled the big dwarf off the trapped soldier underneath, and checked Hans' pulse. Still beating strong. Draignean gave a half-hearted dashing smile and huffed, out of breath, "The... The only possible... Result when fighting the... Great Draignean."

Lawl nope, i'm over my apology quota. The reason i asked is because spearbreakers, while massively entertaining in an "lulz, those gaiz r scruwed" way, the dwarves there gotta be preeetty bored, depressed, pissed, etc. I think adding rock concerts to parties as a way to boost their moods would be a fun idea, because as Splint said a few (hundred, for me) pages ago, i've become attatched to the idea of keeping these guys not only breathing, but happy despite blood rain, spawnspawnspawnspawnspawn, dead migrants, and necromancer zombie apocalypses. EDIT: Ninja'd be story! Very nice fight sequence. Zap Branidorf triumphs again.

This is funny.

This random, music related idea brought to you by "through the fire and the flames" by dragonforce. I'm picturing this blasting as goblins invade, and the dorfs charge out to slaughter them. EDIT: If i had the slightest bit of skill with movie making, i would make this... ah, to dream...

If you need to chat with someone, I believe Splint's currently looking for a friend who is not a soulless robot. Maybe PM him? Click on his username; the rest should become obvious.

Why thank you. I have been promoted from bastard to soulless robot.

[Xahnel]

No can do, Frog, sir. Cell phone is too weaksauce to click names. Normally i'd just post my phone number so people can text if they like, but this is a forum, not a cbox, and it's only my second day here. Therefore cannot do that. I'll just be quiet. EDIT: one more thing then i'll be quiet. No one told me if there were any deserts in this world, and what the names of them were if they existed.

[Mr Frog]

You've said you'll quiet down multiple times now. Just saying you will doesn't mean that you will. You need to learn to slow down and think before you post and consciously judge if any of what you're posting needs to be said.

And with that, I'll drop it, because it feels like I'm going in circles with this and I really, really just want to be nice to you for a change.

[Splint]

To answer, there are several but I don't know the names.

[Xahnel]

There we go, nice half hour gap o' silence whilst i did me some arts and writes. Thanks, splint. I'll just generate a world and pick one of the names. I'm starting Rose's journey story. I'll post it tomorrow most likely, along with Chestnut. EDIT: Just generated bout the smallest world i could. Part of it is named the Hills of Boring. Lawl. EDIT 2: What's the year?

[Hanslanda]

250-ish I believe. We lost track around six years ago.

Kobot. I just pictured a dalek going, "COM-FORT. COM-FORT." While hugging Splint.
