"No Vacancy" sign on a wall with a floodgate opening upon a group of running dwarves.

EDIT: nonono wait, "No Vacancy" sign on one big set of doors marked fortress entrance, and another door with a "Vacancy" sign below a crossed out "Flood Chamber".

EDIT2: I've got one, "Cave adaptation" a large chamber painted green with green dwarves walking through it.

EDIT3: Oh and another, "Water Slides" a group of dwarves standing idly on a bridge above a river with a large wave coming from behind them.

Armageddon: "-3"
Huh?

"Error: Inflate -3" was the end of worlds.
Brought by the power of plant cheese, no less.

Behold the power of cheese.

This is a fox skull helmet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of fox bone and is encircled with bands of fox leather. This item is haunted by the ghost of Alfador Angrorung the fox.

Here's a rough draft of what I'd like to see for a 'crushed by bridge' badge.


I might finish it if it looks good enough to some.

Noe: Red circle is a marker I put for the layers.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

All I want is a high-quality polo shirt with a dwarf embroidered where the polo guy or alligator would go.  It doesn't even have to menace with spikes of anything!

As a reference, here's the type of dwarf I'm talking about (hotlinked from the Wiki, sorry):


All I wear to work are collared shirts, so a DF polo would be perfect.  Or rather 10 in assorted colors.

Anyway, you may now return to your (also awesome) poster idea.

If we're talking about "artifact pig tail shirts", a blowup of nearly any frame from the intro movie would be spectacular. Especially the "erk!"

Hmm. If I get the time, I might bother Toady for permission (whether it applies or not, who cares?) and make one (one!) myself.

If you're going with the theme of ways dwarfs can get themselves killed, don't forget well diving...I just had my first well diving casualty - a wrestler wearing my only set of steel chain armor, no less, so I had to construct an elaborate system to drain the well to get his crap back.

This poster needs to have two sides. THe first is disasters. The second is fun things that also make no damn sense or are just crazy.

Stuff like dwarves in cloth armour wearing 50+ turbans at the same time. Or the bag n seed problems. Or triple dwarven wine roasts.

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Must be so secretative that they're making it look like they trashed the project.

There's got to be a way to represent a Tantrum Spiral in icon form, but I can't think of any suggestions.

As for selling them as posters... maybe not.  But provide a PDF and people can print them out at kinkos.
