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.

Several. In fact I think up until recently the vast majority of our dwarves probably thought the gods had abandoned us or something because every dorf I looked at until I got the first migrant wave of my 2nd turn didn't worship a damned thing.

Other than the founders that's a literal impossibility. Every dwarf now has relatives, passing aquaintences, friends and such in the fortress. I think the only ones with anything close to no relations are the soldiers and that's because they don't socialize very often, if ever.

How do you think that's possible, exactly? No mother, no father? I agree with Splint... unless you're miswording what you're saying.

Only the founders have that state, and even they have relations of friend, lover, aquaintances or what have you, since they'll begin chatting at least a little as soon as the game starts. They have no distinct parantage or family because they're poofed into existance at embark.

Yes, I know that. But this is year 208 - dwarves don't live that long.

That reminds me, reudh, tell me if anyone shows up claiming to be related to rose.

You can ignor it if you really want. Because most of our migrants will have a distant cousin or something in the fort at this point at least.

Again, impossible. They're all cousins or something more often than not. :\

In a sufficiently bloody worldgen, they can get killed. Very rare, though. Maybe just no relatives at Spearbreakers - how would that do for you, Aseaheru?

I'm in the process of redrawing Vanya in a full armorsuit. I have no idea what to do about Urist so I'm going full armor so i don't need to worry so much about his appearance (he is a military liason after all.) Once they're finished and posted they'll be removed from the poll.

And remember, any characters you guys wanna nominate (except Joseph. Can't draw 'perfection') so i know who to draw first I welcome. it also helps me keep track of what to draw (The Eris Trooper was a bit of a fluke cause I'd already been working on that off and on before I started the poll.)

Urist has (as I recall) a lantern jaw (think "superhero"), a beard (pretty sure brown (but not sure where I got that idea from)), and (in my mind) well-kept hair (and another set of parentheses). He looks tough, kind of worn, like a farmer, but he has "chiseled features" - at least in Vanya's mind - he also has the appearance of a military dwarf. If Vanya's going back to Ballpoint, then Urist will probably be going, too... so if you want to draw him in Frog-designed gear, I doubt that'd be a problem.

Hanslanda will be able to give you a much better description, and he may in fact go against some of what I've said here.



I attempted to nominate Talvi before, even though she was my own character... I'd like to nominate Mitch, if possible... I see him with a medium-length, braided blond beard for some reason (probably his avatar). There hasn't been much of him in the canon, but hey. PBT is a really hard character to draw or imagine because we don't really have a clue what he looks like. :P     Also awesome would be Count Splint in his formal attire, throwing a mug at the head of a ducking liaison...
