Yes.

No.

AND ADD VAMPIRES TO IT!

[doublestrafe]

An entire fortress of werebeasts.

The only problem is that the next full moon will cause a total collapse of the fort, no saving possible. You need to keep one dwarf unchanged and hidden from all the others.

In other words, a vampire.

You mean the bookkeeper?

[Talvieno]

My world is on year 548, and my fortress is on year 53.

Year 53? seriously? If you're not kidding, you have me beat by about 30 years or so.

And Splint does hate Fun. Not fun though.

I happen to prefer traditional fun, that is general entertainment and amusement, usually at the expense of my enemies who had to poor thought to invade my territory. It's fun as hell trying to figure out/imagine how a severed arm got in a tree two z levels up. Besides, Fun is detrimental to my building projects. The workers keep pitching fits and killing eachother when I told them to build the god damn roof of my keep last season.

[Talvieno]

I think I'm just slightly more sadistic than you are, Splint. I happen to enjoy pushing my dwarves towards chasms filled with fanged flying creatures and the like... tantrum spirals can be kind of fun. (I usually have a few dwarves I get attached to, though, and those are off-limits as far as Fun goes.)

It'd be like all those poor beards having a period at once except slightly worse.

Unrelated to the above quote, but is it possible to make custom were-creatures?  In particular, can one make a were-sort_of_dwarf, where a sort_of_dwarf is basically a dwarf, but much more violent and opposed to dwarf-kind?  Further, is it possible to have it so that only one gender can be affected?

Yes, but you'll have to mod in new interactions and creatures. Also, I don't think custom werecreatures will show up during gameplay quite the same way true werecreatures will, but I could be wrong on that.

Wrong.

Man the legends concerning that baby must be funny.

[chlorophos]

The solution is simple! Drop the baby 4 z levels onto an upright spear.

It needs a weapon first, correct? If not I've been doing it wrong

[KingBacon]

Drops baby on spear. Shaft of enlightenment bug occurs. Baby is now legendary dodger with superdwarven strength. Problem made more fun.

[Skuggen]

Like a walled-off vampire! Actually, a bunch of walled-up vampires! Then once you get a group of migrants on a full moon, release everyone and everything.

Edit: Forgot there was a second page to this thread...

[StupidElves]

My engravers have filled an entire hallway with various depictions of the baby striking down dwarves.

I think they fear her.

[Duuvian]

Hehe that's pretty funny.

[Di]

Well, safely transmitting this curse would require a lot more work than just dumping dumping dwarves at were.
The werewolf  baby is unique on it's own though.
Killing it would be the dullest thing to do.
Tell us the story. How did it get infected? Did it grow up already or is it eternally stuck as a baby?
