Saw a thing about some new gog-like website and i glanced at it and noticed DF on the page right off the bat.
I assume Toady isn't okay with other people hosting DF downloads and just thought id draw attention to it.

Readme says it can be redistributed, as long as it's done so free of charge and unmodified.  I haven't tried to download to make sure it's unmodified, because I don't want to make an account, but from the description and the reviews complaining about the lack of graphics, It doesn't sound like it is.  So I don't see anything going on against the rules in the readme at least.

In my opinion it's unlikely to be a bad thing, advertisement is advertisement.  Be nice if they put a bay 12 link up there someplace, but it's ultimately Toady and TT's decision.  Good bringing attention though to it though.

They have a pretty interesting feature list, there.

Support the nobility as they make demands of your populace.

Yeah, support.

Code: [Select]

Explore without cumbersome plot restrictions -- thriving capitals, villages, catacombs, labyrinths, bandit camps, caves and more!

Define thriving.

I felt bad that all the reviews were complaining about the graphics, so I made my own one hailing the great aspects of the game, like moddability, and the fact that it is slowly getting to the point of simulating reality itself. And that, despite how awesome it already is, it is not even in alpha yet.

-snip-

That list is copied from the official feature list, but they skipped the best part.

The combat model uses skills, body parts, individual tissues, material properties, aimed attacks, wrestling, one-time opportunities, charging and dodging between squares, bleeding, pain, nausea, various poison effects and much more.
A dynamic weather model tracks wind, humidity and air masses to create fronts, clouds, rain storms and blizzards.
Over two hundred rock and mineral types are incorporated into the world, placed in their proper geological environments.
Add new creatures, weapons, plants, metals and other objects via modifiable text files.
Extended ASCII character set rendered in 16 colors (including black) as well as 8 background colors (including black).

I considered writing a glowing review as well but i didn't wanna sign up to be spammed by the site lol.
