You see a dwarf. His name is Urist Beardbridges. He has a rope reed shirt and rope reed pants. He is barefoot. He is barehanded. He is a mere peasant, unskilled.

It's a morning time. The temperature is moderate. The wind blows from the east. The river is flowing south (from mountains).

Rules:

The rules are simple. At first you create your account. For this you should tell a dwarfy joke or anecdote. Then you're set.
 Give orders to a poor dwarf.

I use dice to determine some things, so if you see "rolls" don't be amused.

•• Primary Needs ••
Each "turn" the hunger/thirst/tiredness (HU/TH/TI) counters increase by one.
15 = starvation/dehydration/unconscious; 20 of hunger/thirst = death
A dwarf sleeps at a rate of 5 tiredness/turn (so 15TI = 3 turns)

•• Influence Points ••
I use Influence Points (IP) system. Example of the way it works:
A dwarf has 4 "likes" slots and 2 "detests" slots. The number of personality traits is undetermined yet. You need 5 IP to set one slot or trait (you lose your IP).

• +2 IP for entry.
• For each creative idea you gain IP.
• For each bad result you lose IP.
• If a dwarf dies because of your action, you lose half of your IP.
• If you manage to save a dwarf from a certain death, you double your IP.

IP table:

[3 IP] name anything unnamed on the map
[5 IP] set one personality trait (friendly, psychopath etc.)/ taste slot (likes, dislikes)
[6 IP] set location name
...

+ Darkstar. +2 IP for entry. I await your commands .

I will randomly give you traits for various things, so live with it .

[DarkStar]

Ah ha! Excellent! Now then... Urist needs to eat, and so needs to learn how to hunt... thus my first decleration to Urist:

• Practice throwing rocks at the nearest animal that is not in the river!

[Kilowatt]

Capture the turtle, make a crude stone knife of the nearby rocks, use it to gut and clean the turtle. Save the meat, make a turtle shell hat. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT FALL IN THE RIVER WHILE DOING THIS.

[Deon]

TURN 2

Urist tries to throw a boulder in a rat, but the stone appears to be too heavy. He drops it on the ground and sits besides it, sweating.
The rat retreats in the woods.

Urist Beardbridges has picked up a heavy thing (+1 TI)
Urist Beardbridges learned that you shouldn't try to throw huge boulders (+1 to throwing)

It's a morning time. The temperature is moderate. The wind blows from the east. The river is flowing south (from mountains).

Urist: My wife and children are all dead! All my friends are rotting and my cats are burning! Oooooh, what a pretty waterfall! Life is nice.

[Haven]

Dodikurist. Sleepy hamlet of 25 dwarves, with cozy communal bunkhouses, a quaint kitchen, a military force of 3... And an awe-inspiring dining hall of the gods, overlooking a magma tower with bauxite vents aimed at a dugout entryway full of traps. Par for the course, really.

(This is, in theory, my entry joke. Yeah, s'horrible.)

[Areyar]

Several of my friends are rotting where they fell during the last ambush, I can't remember the last time I had a decent drink. I tell you: this fortress is going to hell! Have you seen the messhall though? I feel all tingley inside, it is amazing!
...but where is your chains Troll?
>splut<

edit: oh. cerapa stole me thunder. hmm

Shouts: I need shiney things!

[Deon]

TURN 3

Urist doesn't know how to make a knife out of stone. However he finds a sharp rock and tries to catch a turtle. The turtle... is appears to be dead. So he opens it and uses the shell as a cap. The meat is rotten and smells bad, so it can't be eaten.

Urist Beardbridges has made a crappy cap from turtle shell (+1 to crafting)
