I'm sure its not *that* unique, but its still cool: I just started an embark site where the volcano doesn't quite reach the surface; its a pit straight from the surrounding flatlands down a couple z-levels to the magma.  I want to do something cool, but I haven't decided what, just yet.  Any ideas?

Colonize a pipe running down the shaft.

Close it off to the outside world, incorporating it directly into your for entrance way.  Build floors over it to use magma-tools.  Cool stuff.  I'd be in the same mindset.  "I have to do something cool... but what?"

Make every room in your fortress surrounded by magma trenches instead of walls. Protip: Magma does not pressurise.

This... IS GENIUS!

Right up until a single group of goblin crossbowmen show up and murder everyone.

Dome it in clear glass. Seal the outside away. Call it the Biodome. Throw Pauly Shore into the volcano.

If you,re clever, you don't open the ceiling up, so there's a limited arc of ire. Or you could build a wall around the volcano...

Erupt the volcano at sieges!

Whatever you do make sure there are no fire imps close to the surface while your mason's are working their magic. Bridges etc will collapse explosively if struck while being built

Build a temple to the gods over the volcano's mouth, bonus points if the floor is clear glass. Have the center "altar" be a hole in the floor down to the fiery maw. Capture enemies, and sacrifice them by casting them into the blood of Armok.
