Well, gee thanks, now I've purchased my ''They lived happily ever after in Roomcarnage'' t-shirt and it was all for nothing!

I don't expect a nice end... but we can hope no?  What is Roomcarnage without hope?!?   ;)

DS, say Roomcarnage falls around the time the new release is out (and begins to be stable), do you plan to start a new playthrough?

And thus, "The running of the goblins" became an annual tradition and the first dwarven contraceptive.

There are no moghoppers. We have always been allies of Oceania, and at war with Eastasia.

It's actually just Roomcarnage.

I do plan on starting another story, yes. It is doubtful that I will begin a new tale anytime soon after Roomcarnage finally crumbles to its end. If Roomcarnage is anything like Weatherwires, I will probably be burnt out when it finishes.

But yes. There will be more.

Breaks between stories are healthy I think - you get a rest, and time can lead to more creativity later on. I don't write these stories, but I GM games and I put a lot of effort into them.  After a campaign, I usually take a year long break.

Still going!

Yes, it's been about a month and a half since my last update. I've been quite busy with work - but hopefully now that the semester is over I'll be able to devote more time to storytelling. The singular reason why there's been such a delay is save corruption - after I finished recording the chapter, and had gotten about halfway through the writing, I discovered that the new save file had been made unusable. As a result, I was forced to revert to a recent autosave - not a huge loss, but I had to trash a sizable portion of my narration, which was pretty disheartening. I still haven't gotten around to re-recording the section of the chapter that needs to be replaced - I'm planning on getting to that soon, though.

So, Gwolfski, I'll include the most recent autosave when I release the next chapter.

Ouch!  That is indeed frustrating... but I hope you can forge ahead.

I must. Roomcarnage is certainly the greatest story I've ever written, and it deserves to be completed. The dwarves of the Momentous Dye have a fate to fulfill, and I will ensure that it eventually befalls them.

I definitely haven't used any tilesets other than the default rectangular ASCII. The isometric visualizer, which I haven't used in some time, is Stonesense. The 3D renders I use for the chapter headers are created with Fortress Overseer.

He listed off what sounded like a lot of painful-sounding procedures that needed to be done, then proceeded to immediately throw a party.
