Feature?

How?
What?

The fuck?

[Diamond]

That is quite intriguing.
Gotta wait for 14th, I guess.

Its an excerpt of Toady's work on the Mythology generator, designed to create creation myths and other myths for DF worlds. This particular bit may be part of a reasonably common trope, or at least variation on it - some versions of Aphrodite's birth, creation of Pegasus, ... . Or we'll get actual primordial beast blood raining down on our dwarves in the near future. That's also possible. (Since it is quite likely that primordial beasts will get generated creature raws.)

I hope that talk will get recorded?

[Toady One]

I believe the talk gets put on gdcvault.com after a bit, though probably behind a paywall.  Hopefully it won't take forever to get the myth stuff in the game (whatever I'm working on now -> 64 bit test -> artifacts / myths/ magic in some set of releases), and actually having it in the game should be better than the talk.

Awesome toady!

I looked into gdc vault, it is behind a pay wall, it costs 495$ for one year.

Some of the videos are free though, only some.

[Knight Otu]

Makes sense, even though that means having to wait for that info to get into the game . Thanks for the answer.

Uh. I wonder if there might be some means whereby that might become accessible somewhere else.

Does this work?

gdc talk

It has the "free content" tag on it, so I'm vaguely optimistic it'll work for some people.

Yup!

Woo-hoo!

All hail the Toad!

Thanks toady!

[Fniff]

I was looking around for that! Praise the Toad!

[Knight Otu]

Cool. Thanks for the notice. Answers a lot of my questions, too.

[bmxbumpkin]

OMG it's toady...... blush

[Witty]

Man, that myth generator is awesome (point and click UI too!)

I know some of the stuff we see in this version of the generator probably won't make it in the initial release version - but I'm kinda holding out hope it sticks around if only in text/legend form. Mostly the described powers of Gods, and the various 'fey' creatures.
