It would be cool if Adamantine objects had souls that talked to the wielders, as well.

I know it's been some time since the post, but I just remembered this...
Heh, on the second to third page of that comic (if im right) you can see the general df mentality about having friends.

could it be that adamanyine threads aren't pure adamantine, but combined with a substance that is removed apon smithing?

I think that's actually what strand extraction is about. Get the adamantine out of the ore.

no, i mean, could it be that the strands are really an alloy of candy and heraderpite, bu the erpaderpite is removed apon heating and the candy/herpaderpite alloy is flexible?

I don't think we need to spoiler adamantine with the moniker 'candy' in a thread dedicated to discussing its properties which uses its name in the title. Just saying.

I don't think it should EVER be censored. It is listed in the forge lists before it is discovered. Also, it is whats

Demons should not be censored, but the fact that there is a hell they reside in.

5 pages into the thread and reading any more would use up more time than i'm prepared to spend not playing Skyrim.

Has it been considered an adamantine blade, spear or sword are both a cutting impliment and a lever? Consider a spear. Huge amounts of pressure on the tiny contact area (Near monomolecular) propelled by the stocky, dense muscles of a dorff and then wrenched to the side. Armour would split open and the wound widened, same for a a blade or an axe, can opener style. I do suspect giant serrated blades act like a band saw opposed to a  plain smooth edge.

In conclusion: Can openers. Dwarf powered can openers.

To sum up what you have missed, we deducted that monomolecular blades are impossible due to their fagility. Monomolecular edges are still possible, but that poses the wedge problem (it weighs too little to push the armour apart). So no can openers without a slade core.

Curiosity has gotten the better of me and i AM reading it now. Just got to psionic dwarf material manipulation.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Perhaps something amusing will occur to me in the meantime but this is a fairly comprehensive bit of madness. So my contribution lies above.

OKAY! Thread read and here is what additional things it induced. 1: Adamantine chainmail would be terrible. It would be like wearing the most efficient cheese grater. 2: Slade is a multidimentional form of matter or even entity. It exists in 4 or more dimentions and we see but a fracion of them. Indeed when it looks back at petty 3d beings it is as equally baffled at these exotic beings that disappear when they move (as they dont exist in the plane of time) and 3: An adamantine projectile would either need to be an A) A head on something heavier. B) A wire across two prongs, on a heavier bolt or B) Peasant railgun as there are no rules provided for time taking for it to build momentum (Telefragging).

So i believe that Slade/Adamantine isn't actually a 3 dimentional material, multidimentional with a few planes sharing ours in a similar manner that we just can't see outside the electromagnetic spectrum and real life physics need to get really contorted to make any kind of sense. Huzzah!

Well if you think about it, if you drive a object into someone, then yank it to the side, it will act like a crowbar (causing a bunch of physical trauma)
i think thats what he meant anyway.

So a better anology would have been dwarven crowbars :p

Now now children, no circlejerking over how intelligent you think you are here. We base worth on how many bloodbaths, megaprojects and broken world gens we generate. Or the nobel prize for !!SCIENCE!!. DS, Sphalerite, Girlinhat..Aussie. We will let you know when we accept you as part of our all knowing overlords. ALL HAIL THE !!SCIENTISTS!!
