Welcome to MassiveDoor! A story chronicling my newest fortress. Each in game month, I will be adding the next part of the story, with screenshots, as an entry in my leader-dwarf's journal. This is my first time actually sharing a fortress story, so, if I fuck up- er, lemme know.

I forsee lots of Fun, too- my fortress has five neighbors, and while we're technically only at war with the goblins, one of the others is a Tower.

[Shadow Dreamer]

Below, saved for posterity, are the first three months of the original MassiveDoor.

[[OOC: I put up two months- technically three-, since the first one was so short.]]



Year 550, Month of Granite, 15

We have arrived at last! After a long, exhausting journey, in which my six companions whined -incessantly- at me- “We’re tiiiired,” “We’re huuuungry,” “There’s -goooobliiiins-,”- we have reached a suitable position to build our new fortress, Massivedoor. The seven of us are:

Tab


Telos


Wisp


Okibi


Aqua


Ayyar08- an odd name, I know!

And finally, last but certainly not least, me.


I picked a pretty good spot for us, if I do say so myself- which, for the record, I do! Plenty of water, good soil, minerals- it’s all very lovely. Shame that my companions are incompetent!

As the only one with any medical knowledge, I’m the chief medical dwarf as well as the leader- which is irksome, but what can you do, eh? At least I’m not in charge of -everything-.

Tab took over the role of militia commander and Sherrif, while Ayyar took over managing things and keeping records. Okibi reluctantly took the role of broker- and I have no clue what that lazy woman, Aqua, is supposed to do.

I’ve laid out the building plans for the entrance hall, so now it’s just a matter of getting it done. Time to go get to work.


Year 550, Month of Granite, 27

We haven’t made very much progress yet- only about half of us are able to work at a time. Still, we’ve made a decent start carving out the entry hall.



Year 550, Month of Slate, 03

I’ve instructed everyone who isn’t working on the entry hall to start work on building a fortification up above. It’s fairly large, but the animals need to be able to graze, after all.



Year 550, Month of Slate, 09

Progress on the entry hall is going well- we’ve got it all dug out now. I’ve sent the miners to work on carving out workshops for now, since we’ll need the- what do you mean suspended?!



Mrng. Let’s go see what they’re whining about...



...Seriously? Morons, the lot of them!

Year 550, Month of Slate, 22

With the month swiftly drawing to a close, I find myself disappointed. We’re not yet at the point I had hoped we would be at- we still have a ways to go. Still, I must remind myself that we -did- only just arrive. Patience is the key.





Year 550, Month of Felsite, Unspecified date

Boring month. Nothing happened. I'm going back to bed.

[YAHG]

I like the name and it seems like managed to get a ton of work done in only a month. 

[Immortal-D]

You're off to a good start   I'm looking forward to your first meeting with the Greenskins.

[Gwolfski]

sounds intersesting. Keep going!!!

[Shadow Dreamer]

I shall be! Right now I'm trying to find an easier way to take screenshots, though, so that I don't have to go manually save each and every one of them.

[nimbus25]

Sounds like a potentially awesome fort, but I'm interested in that entry hall. I have never seen a hall remotely similar to it, and want to know what the whole fort will look like in the future!

[conein]

Well, anyways, if you haven't already found one, you should try out lightshot, which is a screnshotting or whatever program.

[Shadow Dreamer]

The next update is in the works! Apologies for the wait, it's been a very busy couple of weeks. It should be up later tonight- and I may be changing my 'one in game month' length to 'however long I feel like'. Does anyone desire to have a dwarf named after them?

[Shadow Dreamer]

The original Massive Door has been loss, due to my files managing to get corrupted. (No, I don't know how that happened, I blame my cousins.) But despair not- MassiveDoor shall be reborn, grander than before! With better narration, even, and possibly even- dare I say it- illustration! There will be Goblins, Undead, Beasts, and more! And, of course, there will be Dwarves named after /whoever I damn well please/! Which includes you! And me. And the spider in my windowsill. And the geckos living outside my house. But the point remains! MassiveDoor shall be reborn! The new world generates as we speak! So the question now is- what now? On a less silly note, I am wondering how I should go about posting it. Should I simply continue in this thread, or make a new one for it?

[Taupe]

You can easily format the text in the OP, recopy the original fort's events (since its one post) in a now reply, spoiler it for posternity, and link to it from the main post. that way the fans know where to look, and the main post can be used as an intro/index thing.
