...but where the hell to start with it?
My best bet being generating a new world, since the old ones are probably marked for death due to reasons that seem relatively obvious.

But...What's next?

Play as an adventurer?
Start multiple forts and see what happens with them after time?
Read legends mode? Or just jump into good ol' arena and start whacking and jumping onto stuff?

(Pretty sure there was less variety of gamemodes to pick from when a past major release was out...By that I mean that most changes only really applied to one of them.)

1) Leave adamantine armor for yourself in a fortress
2) Grind climbing, jumping, armor/shield user, wrestling, striking, kicking
3) Find goblin fortresses
4)
5) Batman

1)Modding! I've got to convert over my small amount of mods that I personally use to the newer version. (Plus there is all the new stuff coming too!)
2)Fortresses!

[Greiger]

Personal mod conversion, then probably experimentation, then probably a fortress or two.

[laularukyrumo]

Science! Science must come first, obviously. Gonna have to update the wiki.

.. is df2013 out??

1: Dwarven adventurer bringing JUSTICE to the cannibals, the red-eyes, and the loomans, and checking out all the new stuff that I can see in adventure mode.  If my hammerer dies too soon, I might follow up with an elf who takes to the trees at the first sign of trouble and see how long I last before falling to my death.
2: Update my main mod enough to use it in the new version.  This might happen to involve some arena testing with four teams of the most dangerous creatures I've modded in that need testing for the new combat system, and a group of elves in the middle.
3: One or more adventurers in my mod.
4: Attempt the biggest megaproject I've ever even contemplated, which will require retiring multiple forts.  If I actually get that far with it, anyway.

.. is df2013 out??

Not for another month or two.  This is all just speculation.

As for me, I'll probably just update my mods to the new version and keep playing fort mode as I have.  Not a huge amount will change for fort mode for this release, but I am looking forward to the new trees at least.  Oh, and the combat changes should be interesting.

- Try out a new fortress for 10 years, retire it and make another.

- Look around the new settlements in adv mode.

- Recreate the french revolution in my mod: have several rebel factions plot against each other while the royalists fled for evil biomes, plus deep groups of witches trying to keep the old ways.

- Mod in new creatures making use of the new combat mechanics.

May seems like a reasonable month for release, but we all know...

[Aerval]

I can't really believe in may, but well...

First thing I'll do is take over/ unretire a computer generated fortress

[Slax]

Weeeell Toady once upon a time claimed that he didn't want another full year without a new release so expect it to happen before the fourth of June.

[Someone1214]

Create a fortress. Make the most powerful military I can. Retire. Make adventurer. Destroy fort, or die trying.

[Putnam]

Update mods, the DBZ mod especially. Tree of might? Hopefully. Silly martial arts? Hell yeah. I'll probably make an entirely new mod based on fighting games, shonen anime, etc. to expand the combat system with the next version.

[laularukyrumo]

YES, Shonen Fortress please.

I mean for god's sake we have at least two major MLP conversion mods, at least make SOME semblance of good animu.
