"Once, we knew words other than that pertaining to war. Words like, loaves, and grapes, and peace and love.

We knew of words like luxury, vanity, greed. We still know the phonetics, but, cowering in our walled off holes, the meanings are unattainable. Almost as if fanciful-like notions.

There were two eras. One, where we dwarves prospered, engorged on the very bones of the earth with nary a single thought. Our hunger was unrivaled. All lesser races before us were pushed aside and dispatched aggressively when ever they barricaded us from our endless feast. Our birthright. And then, when our power reached it's final height? When we thought we had slain fear itself and so pompously thought our adolescence as a god-race was nearing an end; We chipped away at gaia's very soul itself! This hubris lead to the age of the clown and all was dragged, kicking and screaming back into darkness.

Do not resist this bizarre new world order, my child. Dare not! No matter what your naive heart tells you; This is not the age of the Dwarf. This is not the age of the adventurer. Those were the days of loaves and grapes. This is the age of fires, this is the age of plague and floods and pillars of salt! This is the age of the Clown!"

I seriously can't wait for someone to uncork the spoilers and watch the ripple effect as the clowns slowly change everyone's Forts and adventures. A truly cataclysmic event. That's what I crave.

[mastahcheese]

That was beautiful.

[Ruhn]

Things could get fun for my little outposts if the spoilers get loose.
I don't think our bearded friends are smart enough to lock down a fortress automatically when danger comes.

[Eric Blank]

Almost certainly they would be doomed.

Good news is, though, that Toady mentioned he hasn't gotten megabeasts or demons roaming around like night trolls do, and even when they do, demons might not flood outwards in droves to conquer the world. They'll just make the region surrounding the fortress completely inaccessible by any decent standard

[Kydrasz]

That would make for a fun reclamation. Fighting the demons for the land your predecessors died on.

Posting to watch.

Edit:

It could even be DF2014... We don't know how long it will take for The Almighty to complete his plans for the next release.

IIRC, he mentioned in the latest DF Talk that he's aiming for a march 2013 release... I think that's him being way too generous, but still. 2 months to go!

I want to go and tell my past self (and your past selves, for that matter) that the new DF release is still not out in November 2013.
And see their, and thus also ours, hearts, crashed.

[FireCrazy]

Might join in on this.

[Lolfail0009]

Oh that's right!
This is a thing!

[Elephant Parade]

Did I mention in my PTW that I wanted to join in on this? Because I think I forgot.

[wer6]

Yep, I think who ever is after me might just find the fort rather fucked up, cause I cant read ascii very well, and I cant tell the difference between A cat A Bronze colossus easily, but other wise !!FUN!!

[WillowLuman]

Succession World, not succession fort. It doesn't really matter if one fort gets screwed up, unless it was important.

[Rhyme]

I am really interested in this.

[Mesa]

Looking back at those early pages of this thread makes me kind of sad, back when we thought that the new release would be out in May!
IN MAY! (actually every month, for that matter)

In any case, I really do hope that this time DF2013 actually comes out within a month. Pretty sure that it has been delayed many a time already. (for good reasons, though)
I want to become the dwarven elven kobold Hermes.

That is, steal.
Come on, imagine all the stories that could spawn from this!

Thief: The Dwarf Project, anyone?

[FireCrazy]

Gonna create a merchant fort and send out Merchant Adventurers to trade with other fortresses.
As for my estimate of the release date, I'm thinking late December.
