As the name (hopefully) suggests, the proposed idea is somewhat simple:
   Have the ability to create your own stories for adventure mode.
Undoubtably though, they would probably fall under the domain of modding if implemented.

What do mean with this. Nothing is preventing you from writing up a story and posting it on the DF forums.

Toady is planning on adding adventurer goals and such to the game, as stated in the devgoals.

Sorry for the lack of description.

What I'm going to try to say is essentially User-made scenarios acted out in adventure mode. More or less an in-game roleplay, wherein the player fulfills the story... Do I need further explanation? I can understand I'm not always concise.

Our brother ate the dragon, and we need some way to avenge his brother.
Or, to return stolen someone artifact King
Something like this?

This is delightfully confusing

I don't really see how it could work in DF, in user-defined way. Mods are pretty limited, and it's more complicated by how DF is generated from ground up and historicals. And that's not to say the very act of acting makes it's own story.

Also, artifact kings? That'd be something interesting to see

Unless you meant something like in-game reason, like picking a relative of someone that got eaten by a dragon that was in turn slain by a necromancer and are you bad enough dude to take them on?

( Not an adventure mode player, but it could tie in fortress mode pretty easily with royal edicts and such )

Exactly my idea, more or less. But I agree that it would likely not be a very effective task. Seems like to much work for little practical benefit.

I still dont understand.

I think the idea is that you could make an adventurer with a pre-generated quest.
Think of it like this metaphor I just thought of and am starting to question: Batman started out trying to avenge his parents...or keep it from happening again...or something like that, it's been a while. He moved on to trying to rid Gotham of crime. Doing whatever to his parents was the original story, everything else was random things you decided to do along the way.

[Revanchist]

I've decided the idea isn't worth the effort. With that in mind, I am now locking the topic.
