What a bone sword might look like
« on: October 16, 2012, 07:31:43 am »

So I saw an article link named "Police seize unusual weapon" so of course I had to follow it.

http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/officer-kicked-in-head-in-karratha-arrest-20121016-27nwi.html

It's very dwarfy (not just because of the kick to the head mentioned in the url) and the photo actually looks pretty cool. Hopefully this will be possilbe to make in DF version 1.0

I'm imagining that a dwarf with a good bone carving skill would create something more good looking, a bit like Skyrim's dragonbone weapons.

Definitely something i'm purposefully going to make tons of JUST FOR the purpose of Kobolds stealing them then using weapons like that possibly out in the world.

Somehow DF is more awesome with Aztec style swords. Those things were brutal!

Centration. Similar to Spacestation 13, but in 3D and first-person. Sounds damn awesome.

If there were more criminals like this guy, the world would be a much more exciting place.

I always seem to end up with a magnificent burial complex and nowhere near enough bodies to fill it, or far too many bodies and nowhere to put any of them.

She was also sad that her father's corpse was rotting in his bedroom, but that's a minor inconvenience.
I love this game so much.

I thought the combat system in Monster Hunter but pretty fun, but the overarching gameplay just became many iterations of the "20 Bear Asses" trope.  YMMV

I don't know if it's accurate to call the guy a criminal. It sounds like his actual crimes boil down to "being rude to a cop".
