Has anyone tried doing a DnD game set in the dwarf fortress world? All players would of course be dwarves, and the campaign would be epically dwarfic. I would be very interested in playing in a game such as this though i have very little Dming experience, but would deffinitely a game. We could even use a random world and play in that one.

I suggest we use (Please remove link if you feel its advertising or whatever) www.dndonlinegames.com Simply because you can create your own forum and has rolling built in.

Would deffinitely like to get some interest in this

I sometimes look to DF for inspiration when writing adventures. It's not exactly DnD that I play though, but it's still pen&paper roleplaying.

Earth Striker whatevertheheck has been running a Pathfinder campaign that he keeps telling me about that the PCs (not all dwarves) are delving around in a very Dwarf Fortress-inspired Dwarfy place. It's been pretty hilarious hearing the stories about it.

Partly because his PCs are... well, a little slow.

Our adventurers made it to BeerAxe the Cavern of Beer.   A DF fort I made long ago   All the dwarves act like DF dwarves.  The adventurers have never played DF, so they think I'm very clever

There are probably better games than D&D to use for this. Ones based entirely on martial powers with no magic, for example. There's one I'm thinking of, but I can't quite remember what it's called. Iron Heroes or something like that.

Its pretty easy to change /restrict d20 to not use magic..

I'm running a Midnight d20* game for my players. They have been working with the dwarves for quite a few game sessions now and have shown a significant level of interest in staying with them and assisting in their preparations for war.

A vast amount of the detail I've presented to the players has come directly from this game. Prior to DF, I never would have thought to take the time to describe the intricate engravings on just about everything, or the types of stone exposed in various places within their clanholds. Meals are more detailed, and of course the vast types of alcohol and underground farming have left the players feeling like the area is very richly detailed. I'm absolutely loving it and I owe a great deal to Toady's imagination.


* Midnight d20 is a modified D&D 3.5e game set in a world where an evil god fell from the heavens and -- in a final stroke of vengeance -- cut off the world from all other gods. The only priests are those of the dark god, and even the dead walk because their souls cannot go to their final resting place. It's a dark setting and in the players' case, they've spent their whole campaign fleeing some of the worst villains ever, and are only now feeling like they can help the war of extermination that's being conducted against the dwarves. None of the PCs are dwarves, but I get the sense that they're very attached to them nonetheless.

[Cruxador]

This setting might be relevant to your interests. The dwarves are intentionally straight out of DF. The only thing which might slightly detract in your minds is that there are no tree-hugger elves, but the Sidhe (essentially Yamato eugenicist High Elves) fit the role just fine in terms of social interaction.

Also, much of the craziness is attributed to fey influence, but most characters shouldn't really know about that. It does result in an emphasis on Iron which doesn't exist in DF, however.

[PhilbertFlange]

I've run one dungeon set like a DF world, though I made it inhabited by fire-elementals. Came complete with a zoo (which the party got a gibbering mouther in a cage from), farms, a treasure room guarded by an 11 headed hydra, nobles quarters, barracks, and outside tombs.

One of the tombs contained a loom for adamantine, and they got a couple of wafers in the treasure room which they still don't know what to do with, as they failed their checks to learn what the metal is. =P

Why DnD? That level worshipping, class based piece of shite has done its work, all copies of every version should be fired into the sun with a rocket. Call of Cthulhu would probably be a good one for representing the wax and wane of dwarven sanity.

[alphawolf29]

It's only level worshipping if you level PC's up too quickly. most campaigns the PC's only get to level once or twice.

Sounds like you'r first DM and/or party was crap, and you got traumatized early on.

Its always been a barrel of laughs for me.
