Whether or not you post again, DS, I just want to thank you for creating this wonderful, really engaging and ambitious emergent story for all of us to read.  It has been such a joy to discover, and to peruse again and again!

I appreciate the kind words! It's been a joy - and a surprise - to see that people still appreciate it after all these years.

I should also say - thanks for expressing your appreciation at a time when I was absent. It helped motivate me to return to the story.

Tremendous! I had thought this series had faded away for good, as the dwarves caught in the evil mist, but was proven wrong. Thanks for another chapter, it was a great one :)

Thank you! I think there were some times between this chapter and the last that I might have faded away - but I'm being melodramatic. I'm happy to be back at it.

You're very welcome! I'm feeling enthusiastic about bringing it to a close soon. I'm eager to play the new version, and to find new stories there to share with the community.

It has, thank you! Matter of fact, after moving to my work device, I'm getting two to three more FPS than before - which, when we're talking about single digit rates, is quite pleasant. Here's hoping nothing spooky happens to the rest of my files.

Touching as ever. Does Roomcarnage have no children, or heterosexual couples, so they are doomed to fall to old age whether they reach the top of the tower in time or not? 

Do you, by the way, have Roomcarnage mirrored somewhere? It would be a great tragedy if imgur acted up and the epic was lost.

There are, I think, still unmarried and unrelated dwarves of opposite gender, so the chance for children isn't completely gone. But I wouldn't hold out too much hope for it.

As for mirroring Roomcarnage - it's not anywhere else online at the moment, but I do have the narrative and images archived. It is fortunate that they've held up on imgur for as long as they have. I'm currently, slowly, teaching myself HTML and CSS (yes, I do live under a rock), in the hopes that some time this summer I can slap together a simple website that looks like it's as old as Roomcarnage is, for the purposes of hosting it more reliably.
