Celebrity Dwarf Fortress!
« on: July 24, 2009, 09:08:28 am »

I was pondering the other day, which celebrities and famous folk could be going home every night for a session on Dwarf Fortress?

Could Tom Cruise be making his dwarves build a spaceship? Or perhaps Bill Bailey is building a giant cat statue out of wood filling it with booze, than pouring magma into it's giant eye sockets?

Which celebs do you think are sending Urist McSoapmaker to his demise via 'training' with the bronze colossus? Or even, maybe we have a couple among us..?

...Wil Wheaton...? Seriously, I think actually playing Dwarf Fortress is pretty niche. Being a celebrity requires you to spend an awful lot of time and effort just to maintain your status; I suspect that, unless the individual in question is known for gaming already (the way that, say, Vin Diesel is), there's not much chance they've even heard of DF, let alone played it.

This topic is way less cool than I thought it was from reading the topic...

We need to start a community fort where the profiles are posted and people vote on which celebrity the dwarf is most like...  (Even the "needs booze to get through the day" won't be much of a problem)

and then play begins....

Michael Jackson died of suffocation?

I think it'd be cooler to have one giant fortress of all the bay12 members.
