Not me, but DF + Anything?
I'm sure there's SOME game that wouldn't combine with it well, i'm just not sure what. I mean, my first thought was Dwarf Fotress combined with a Racing game, but after a few moments thought, it becme apparent that it could work pretty well.

You'd start with seven dwarves, of whom you could have metal workers for making components for cars, crafts dwarves for making seats and wheels and such, mechanics for assembly and repairs, a driver, a Public Relations team, and so forth.

Imagine the artifact moods, though.

Urist McMechanic: I must have wheels!
Urist McMechanic: I must have a fiberglass frame!
Urist McMechanic: I must have an engine!
Monom McPRGuy: Oh god, get him the stuff guys, if he goes insane and dies it'll reflect badly on us!
Urist McMechanic: I must have a reclining seat!
Urist McMechanic: I must have fuel!

Urist McMechanic has begun a mysterious construction.

Monom McPRGuy: Thank god it wasn't a fell mood, the last guy who went into one made a rally car out of my predescessor.
Mistem McCraftsdwarf: Yeah, it's a shame we're a formula one team, otherwise it'd have been a really ni-

Urist McMechanic has created Speedfast the Tires of Squealing, a formula one racing car!

Urist McDriver: I MUST TEST THAT OUT RIGHT NOW!
Urist McDriver: HOLY CRAP THIS GOES SO FAST!
Urist McDriver: AHH! TOO FAST! I CAN'T MAKE THIS TU-
Urist McDriver has died after colliding with a pitstop.
Urist McMechanic has died in a collision.
Monom McPRGuy has died in a collision.
Mistem McCraftsdwarf has died in a collision.
A stray kitten (tame) has died in a collision.

Your Race Team has crumbled to its end.

I'm pretty sure there is no game that can be good when combined with DF.

You hit the female ninja in the upper body with your Adamantine two handed soul calibur!
The ridiculously large right breast flies off in a bloody arc!

Yea DF + soul calibur would get weird.

Good Idea: Team Dwarf Fortress 2

Bad Idea: Dwarf Fortress Basketball.

DF+Cod4:
We can dig/build our own sniper nests ingame. Too bad we have to wait several years before we get some use out of ghillie suits. It would be so epic to sit ontop of a 15 z level tower with a .50, a few claymores behind and a lever to flood the map with magma next to me. BUNNY HOP THIS NOOBS!

Meant to say Garry's Mod in the previous version as my good one, just because of the raw physics and whatnots.

Good: Dwarf Fortress Zelda; Allow the player to create a world/script events/make puzzles/bossfights and cutscenes. :D
Bad: Dwarf Fortress Teaches Typing

Good: DF + Spore. I think this one speaks for itself.

Bad: DF + Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. You could sell me on DF + RCT 1 and 2, though.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

DF + SimCity 4. Heck, DF + any lesser building game.

Advisor: Mayor Urist, our tax rate is at 90% as it is! We can't afford more mechanical work! The dwarves are near tantrum!
Mayor Urist: Heck with that, let's build another Legendary Dining Room.
Advisor: You can't just placate the problem! We need to-Oooo, this dining room is SO NICE...

DF + Pharoh

Citizen: There are no temples, no wells, no fire or police departments, even! How do you expect to keep us paying your outrageous taxes when we could just- Oooo, such a NICE dining room...

DF + RCT

Guest's mood: Ecstatic
Guest's thoughts: I'm not going on those rides, everyone else here has been maimed horribly on them! There's a wall over the exit! There are no bathrooms! There are no drinks! I LOVE this new dining room!


DF + Age of Empires 2

Hah! We have legions of soldiers, and all you've built is a... Oh, wow, that's an AMAZING dining room!

DF + Command and Conquer

Well, I was going to try and destroy the GDI for good... But this is a really awesome dining room this base has...

DF + Diablo

"The Prime Evils are walking the earth, strewing death and mayhem everywhere they go! Life as we know it has come to an end! Even a dining room is not enough! Luckily, a dining room and this *Dwarven Syrup Roast* is..."


...You get my drift, right?

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

True, but designing said creature with a built-in editor -ie no fiddling with config files and praying the game won't crash and burn- and then following it through the age of Myth, the Age of Legends and the Age of Heroes... Now that would be pretty nice.

Actually, a really good game mixture would be Dwarf Fortress + Dwarf Fortress. It would be called Fwarf Dortress.

Twice the dwarfiness, twice the booze, quintuple the cat executions.

Losing is no longer just fun, it's orgasmic.

Or we could call it DF2. Carp now have psychic powers that can pull dwarves into the water from halfway across the map. Elves now eat corpses and then eat their victims' legends entries. Cats now split into a dozen cats every season and fart huge miasma clouds.
