wow this is one awesome fort .

can i have a dwarf please hopefully he wont die too soon.

Sure, what do you want to name him?

[MrGimp]

Here is an update on the fortress constructions.  You can see the inn and tavern going up in the background.  In the foreground, the tower base continues to climb higher.  Just the base of the tower has eaten up a lot of our once massive diorite stockpile. 



There have been some changes to the tower's base.  There was no longer a lower balcony, and the front of the base had a facade of dolomite pillars raising up.



Also of note, the High Priest has blessed the water in the outer moat, and turned that into holy magma as well.  Our lava moat is now complete.  It took EXTREME dedication.  I have to edit the lava one tile at a time.  One.  Fucking.  Tile.  At.  A.  Time.

It took a whole day.

[Keltiknight]

Wow, one tile at a time!? Jeez, I pity you for having to do that.

[liam1994]

Name him liam and make him a crossbow dwarf please.

[denisol]

[magmaholic]

and is Tor in?

[MrGimp]

Ok no problem.

am i dead yet?

Youre not dead (yet), but thankfully, your parents are!  And since your elder brother is being held captive in a goblin fortress somewhere, you are now the leader of the Kurkish clan.

and is Tor in?

Yes.  You and all the other recent additions are in and will appear within the next update or two.

this story should be made into a book. really.

i am only around the chapter 9, but the story is just plain awesome.

so, yeah, do a book! with pictures! get an artist to draw them! or just use the screens, but then it won't look as preety.

[magmaholic]

It comes out that i AM an artist :v
i can do it,if you need,Mr Gimp :3

FGK dwarf has been ecstatic lately. He admired a legendary community fort recently.

Truly, this is the greatest fortress in dwarven history! It took me two weeks to read through the story, but it was worth it! May I be dwarfed? Name Vega; I'll take whichever dwarf shows most aptitude for Hamiltonian Mechanics...

I must say, when I was half way through this thread, and posts were still being listed as 2009,  I figured that by the time I reached the end of the most recent page that the story would have ended.  But I was wrong,  man oh man this 40D fortress keeps on ticking!

Has Ragnarok all ready happened, with you needing to post updates to catch us up? Or if the Ragnarok has not happened in the game,  how many more years ahead of the story is the actual game? And when do you think Ragnarok will happen?

Thanks for the praise!  I cant help but see it as mad hermit ramblings....but maybe mad hermit ramblings are good?  This is bay12 dammit!

If anyone wants to make fan art for their favorite scenes that would be great!  We can string them together into a book of sorts, or I can edit the pictures into their respective spots in the story.

Hell yeah!  Fan art would be great!  I pretty much suck at drawing, but if anyone wants to depict the horror of Blockedlance in graphic form, please do!

Given the epic history of dwarves, this compliment humbles me, good sir!

May I be dwarfed? Name Vega; I'll take whichever dwarf shows most aptitude for Hamiltonian Mechanics...

Sure, Ill put you in.  Hamiltonian Mechanics eh?  I wonder....does that make him smarter than the average dwarf (because he has advanced beyond Newton) or does that make him slower than the average dwarf (because the dwarves of DF seem to have an innate understanding of Quantum Mechanics)?

They said there would never be a 100 year old community fort with a fully chronicled history.  Some said it was insanity to go past five decades.  We ate those people and now wear their skin as leather thongs.  They said of us that we had succumbed to madness......  Madness?  THIS! IS! BLOCKEDLANCE!!!

Ragnarok has not happened yet.  Im usually only a couple seasons ahead of the story.  Sometimes a few years.  My schedule is chaotic and random (the way I like it) so it varies.

No one knows when Ragnarok will come.  Elven legend says Ragnarok will come when the son of Armok sits upon the throne of Sil Gomath.  Dwarven legend says that Ragnarok will come when the last brewer has died and the knowledge of alcohol has been lost to the world.  Still others believe that all of reality revolves around Urist, and that when she dies the universe will end.

[Yoink]

Right, I'm totally going to draw some stuff.
I never quite read through all the pages though, sadly pre-paid internet is not gonna last long in the face of such awesomeness. But perhaps I'll draw young Yoigen being swung by the feet, cracking the skulls of those would-be-assassins a few chapters back.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Mogror laughs at the dwarves dying of "old age". A little bit of over-extended existance never hurt anyone! I wonder if Armok could bestow extended life on more dwarves?

Bah, you modern dwarves and your quantum mechanics! Armok does not play dice!
