I use masterwork myself. Nothing better then shooting the buttocks off of kobolds.

Saying I use one implies that I enjoy it more then the other, which further implies that I in fact, recommend it to you.

I like playing Genesis modded to work with the Grim series of mods, some parts of wanderer adventure mod, and my blowgunmod and Scorpius race mod that I've been tweaking for a while.

I think wanderer is actually part of masterwork by default, although I could be wrong. There certainly is a text containing adventure reactions called wanderer in it though.

Masterwork is kind of fucked up for adventuring, but yet it's the only one that I really like for some reason.

I don't use either. I actually don't use mods at all, but I have been known to add random things to my raw files. Like stones that, when dug, vaporise and turn nearby creatures into enraged dragons. I also changed the weapon raws around so I could get regular daggers, not just large ones. I added holistic spawn (OK, I used Mr Frog's raws for those), boozebears, possessed socks and magmacarp.

My raws are awesome. I have a lot of fun with them not because they're good, or because I made them, but because I can't even remember everything I've added. I'm always discovering new things! It's fantastic.

Mods like Masterwork or Wanderer's Friend are cool, but I don't like them because they're too predictable. I have an adventurer mode reaction that was supposed to make a leather whip but instead spews out a randomly selected leather weapon. It's unpredictable, and I love it, and no-one here gives a crap so why am I even posting?

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Just living up to your screen name! :D

Sounds pretty awesome. You definitely need a civilization of flying, fire-breathing socks with questionable ethics, though!

Yup, I imagined a steampunk-like dwarf engineer that's also a fortress leader, writing down in his journal while some "things" are banging on the doors:
"I made some stuff, it's flying around the place. I don't remember what exactly did I ceare, but I know for sure that some of it is trying to kill me, or eat my entire spruce barrel supply. Either or both of these two."

Brilliant idea! I'm working on that now.
And feel free to tell me about any other random ideas you have.

What? I thought you were supposed to play whatever you liked the least and wouldn't want anyone else to play and would never recommend to anyone. Guess I can stop playing DF now, right?

note me down as too lazy to look it up myself, but is this true?

As my only experience is with about 1 1/2 hour of masterwork mod, I don't feel qualified to advice.

Do not be negative, i support your point of view !
I do not like/use those big mods neither not because of anything an particulary but they add too much things for me wich ones i would have done differently ... so it is smal mods (by me or others sligthly modifyed) for me too ...

Both had their problems last time I checked, too many towns with no speaking folk are boring.
