Yes. You also need to be better at using its strange editor than I am.

Heiterverzweiflung. Not a legit German word so much as something a friend and I made up in German class once. "Carefree despair". When life is so fucked that you can't stop laughing.

Doing some preliminary testing with reapers. To sum it up:
"It is terrifying."

Screencaps and more details to come later.

EDIT: I will say this much, it's not too unbalanced. A mob of unarmed, unskilled domovye were able to kill it with only 5 casualties. Next to test it against dwarves.

I know how you can make it more terrifying, but you can also do things like mix in tougher castes that show up less often.

Yeah, I know. I still have to change the density values and keep working on the venom until it works. My bite attacks also aren't showing up as an option, do you know why that might be? ( I'll PM the raws. )

I'm going to do some experimentation with Artmoney to see if I can get infinite points when creating an adventurer. We might have a Voidgod after all.

So, by "Reapers" are we talking like servants of Death, or like the alien robot ships in Mass Effect? 'Cause both of those sound awesome as an addition to DF, but there're some important differences.

The first thing. Sort-of. They're more like chaotic-evil in the style of servants of Death, but it's effectively the same. I'm not about to figure out how to mod in living alien robot ships from Mass Effect. ( Or an unliving variant either. ) They have scythes for hands/forearms and inexplicably melt into magma when killed! :D ( On the one hand I want to fix that... on the other hand that's really awesome. )

I'm going to do some experimentation with Artmoney to see if I can get infinite points when creating an adventurer. We might have a Voidgod after all.
K. I look forward to seeing your progress.

Void god doesn't need empathy or social awareness. He doesn't care about what others think and what is appropriate behaviour, because he does what ever he wants.

I told you to test with colors! But nooo, you just had to go clone mega-Satan or whatever.

1. The original voidgod had amazing mental stats too
2. If the voidgod has any red stats ever I have failed - better max them all out
