I was toying around with worldgen this morning, and found a world I rather like the look of. Hostile elves, a single Dwarven civilisation pushed to the brink of extinction (40 dwarves, 1 site), and some jungle terrain near the equator that could make for a decent temperate/tropical border embark.

So, why not set up a third and probably final game in the Breadbowl saga? This embark will be an attempt to return to our roots: none of the nightmarish zombie/werepig survival horror that Breakfastpit turned into, just a community of semi-peaceful farmdwarves making food for the mountainhomes as efficiently as they possibly can.

In case you’re not familiar, the rules of Breadbowl are as follows:

•   Trade all the food and drink we have to every caravan that passes through (for lore purposes, they are couriers to the mountainhome),
•   Never buy any food or drink. We produce the produce, we don’t import it.
•   Record each seasons trade quantities, so we can know if we’re meeting our production quotas or not.
•   No underground crops allowed. Plump helmets are icky.

I'm a little tied up just now, but I'll be watching at any rate. Good luck.

Breadbowl was amazing to both play and read. To this day accidentally flooding the entire stone industry and noble housing estate is my greatest DF achevement. I just wanted some jet for my cobble path... The atmosphere was great, players did great job writing, there was building, epic battles, clouds of sleeping gas, and cancellation spam over red spinach seeds - everything a classic succession fort needs.

Breakfastpit was a bit too intense for my liking; it felt more like Syrupleaf than Breadbowl, except more depression and less dwarves punching unholy abominations across the map. I guess it was partially the fault of the game version. Evil regions still need to be avoided though, because even blood rain is absolutely devastating if my recent experiences are any indication.

I may even take a turn, just not the second one. I like when there's something done before I get to take over.

[QuQuasar]

Yeah, I won't be going near any evil biomes this time around. The Hill of Death in Breadbowl only worked because it was harmless.

Anyone got any preference for fortress name? I can't decide between "Cheesesplatter" and "Dinnerplate".

[Sanctume]

I'm up for some Breadbowl The Return of Roots!

[Immortal-D]

I'll be keeping a close eye on this.  Probably take a later turn, ~5-7.

[DwarvenLord]

I've read a good amount of the original Breadbowl and I am interested. I've wanted to try a succession fort. I was considering Earthenhold (If it was still active), but I think something more casual would be better. I'll sign up for a turn. Though just for your information, I'll take a while for a whole year because I only have a small amount of time each day, about an hour.

See, I would love to be more a part of the succession forts, but after the game gets to about 150 total units in a fort or above my current computer chugs. So, unless I land my next big job opportunity, I will be limited in how much I can do.

This time around the embark will be 3x3 rather than Breadbowls 4x4, so it should be easier on most computers. Whether it will be easy enough for yours... impossible to say.

Looks like we’re doing this, then. Our founding farmers are to be as follows:

* Grower
* Herbalist/Thresher
* Cook
* Brewer/bookeeper
* Pot-maker (a mix of furnacing, glassmaking, stonecrafting and masonry)
* Smith
* Guard (speardwarf)

If you want a dwarf, let me know. I have dibs on the cook.

[Sanctume]

I'll take the spear dwarf. 

I hope rain will not make everyone insane.

[DwarvenLord]

I'll take the bookkeeper/brewer. (Dorf him as 'Lordy')

[SQman]

I'll take the grower. I know plenty about farming alfalfa, I swear.

[auzewasright]

I'm in, though I might not be able to play.
I'll take the Bookkeeper, name him Auze. His title: Scholar Auze (clerical error in Breadbowl II made this an official title).

Done.

I'll take the grower. I know plenty about farming alfalfa, I swear.

Done. I should note the grower is female, though: do you want SQman, SQwoman, SQ, SQdwarf or something else? Nevermind, I mixed them up again, the grower is male. The thresher is female. Bloody androgynous dwarves.

I'm in, though I might not be able to play.
I'll take the Bookkeeper, name him Auze. His title: Scholar Auze (clerical error in Breadbowl II made this an official title).

... huh. I can actually manage this. Turns out I accidentally combined brewing with broker, so Lordy isn't the bookkeeper.

The bookkeeper is the smith, so welcome to blacksmithscholary.
