a Beak Dog.

An actual, trained beak dog that I can ride around on/leave to guard my abode.

It is terrifying.

I'd buy that coat.

Anyway, I'd like a mousepad that has a giant Ñ on it, the Ñ alternating between the colors of the night creature tiles with "NOW YOU WILL KNOW WHY YOU FEAR THE NIGHT" in a circle around the whole thing.
I would buy that also. Is there a policy on dwarf fortress merch? What is an appropriate amount to send Toady One from the profit on each object? At cost and encourage the buyer to donate what they can to cause? I sort of get why Toady One doesn't run his own merch shop, it seems like a lot of work and he doesn't need the money. I am sad that it curtails the amount of DF merch I can adorn my body/home with, though.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think there is a policy.
Haha, I'm thinking I might try and get that trench coat, by getting it custom made?
Jeeze, now I think about it, it sounds expensive to get done.

The bracelet is a usb stick with Dwarf Fortress on it.

We probably do, haha, : )
And wow, a USB themed with DF and has all the Packages?
Awesome.
That face on the USB (That a face?)
I honestly wish it was squarer to better represent Dwarf Fortress with the classic Dwarf Face, if you know what I mean?
Haha would be sooo much cooler then but even now, that is pretty cool.

This whole thread sounds like a giant appeal to Kickstarter for DF merch.

I approve.

I want a full, hard cover copy, of the Hall of Legends, aswell as Boatmurdered, and Askist Nakath.

Holy carp, wow, this would make the best read ever - everything in the Hall of Legends. I'd take that with me everywhere. lol

Well, at least a select picking of the best stuff. Some things I wouldn't read anyway. :P

There are a few really great reads that never got into the Hall of Legends, though, as well as a few entries that made it in by having the relevant thread-community vote it in... It'd be a tough decision on what to include.

If such a thing were to be made, I'd voice my support for this. I don't think it's in the Hall of Legends, but it's one of the best DF-related things I've read so far.

Some high quality bronze sculpture reproductions of some of the more impressive forgotten beasts from the forgotten beast art thread would be pretty awesome.

I would like to live long enough to see a relatively finished version of DF. I mean a version not composed of basically TODO signs. I mean the scope of the project is huge, and admirable, but if you measure the progress against the years that pass by, it induces a dose of pessimism. Also, I am no longer young, so to say.
No particularly sure what you mean by this?
By most estimates, it will be 20-30 years before we get Dwarf Fortess 1.0.  It is 1-2 years between releases, and each release increments about 0.03, so to get from 0.40 to 1.00 will take about 30 years.
