Visit the new website at www.dfa.webatu.com

As part of my plan to conquer the forums, but mostly because I keep wanting to say stuff and then not saying it because its already enough trouble to look through posts for suggestions, I present

<awesome title font>THE DWARF FORTRESS ADVENTURES OFF-TOPIC THREAD</awesome title font>

Where you can talk about anything vaguely DFA related or inspired. Comment on the comics, discuss the fates of our heroes, vote for favorite characters, whatever. It's also where I will post any off-topic/non-canon comics I frequently get the urge to make, and I'll occasionally cycle through various polls based on the suggestions of posters in this thread.

And with that, I present the first poll, in an attempt to gauge my readership levels. I'm guessing - ten. Not counting me.

I've been trying to find a way to answer your question without revealing too much.

Jujus parents were both of the same species, and they would both publicly declare themselves dwarfs.

Will the HFS ever appear in this comic?

Once tried to conquer Earth, and succeeded! Too bad it got really, really boring, really, really fast.

One day, we shall all look back on this, and laugh. Sorry about the face, by the way, and the legs, and the eyes, and the arms. In fact, sorry 'bout the whole body.

Otters ARE so cute and lovable.

As far as the HFS thing ... this is a suggestions based webcomic. How deep do you plan on digging? Honestly, though, I have no idea at this point. Or at least thats my public statement on the matter.

How much longer will it take until Mordath and Jujufrobos meet a caravan from one of the civilizations?  I just want to see the end result from this encounter.

Sooner than you would think.

I would like to that the dude who made the cutebolds (Gobbo, yes?) for being inspiration to everyone everywhere, and also everyone who has made suggestions. I will post the next comic soon.

So would people prefer more detailed art or more frequent comics? Because its definitely a trade-off.

With the recently added elaborate appearance descriptions, I can almost force myself to believe that. For now I'll humour him, untill a DNA test proves it, then I'll eat my ...uhm beerd.

In case you haven't noticed, there's a distinct lack of updates on the comic thread.

This is mostly do to the fact that I'm now putting my evenings towards set building for a theatre production I'm doing, and the show is less than a week away. As such, I'm gonna skip the more elaborate comics I had planned and just do simple ones to make some progress despite my busyness.

Anyone have any ideas for a better poll, btw?

Clearly got down to bidness tonight. Four new comics today.

Also, new poll up. After the theatre show I'm probably going to have some free time again - so should I spend it working on building a website to keep these on?

This getting it's own website would be awesome!  :D
Make sure to get a RSS feed. ;)

I took option two because I personally wont host it, I can however recommend a very nice free hosting solution.
