I voted combat specifics, but I am hoping that artifacts comes around in the next poll, because that would be interesting as hell.

I chose artifacts as well.. Though that shouldn't surprise anyone. I have two dedicated Artifact Threads (though one ended)

[Mephansteras]

I have to go with racial information. It is relevant to my interests (And the focus of the suggestions I put up for the talk).

[Arni]

Artifacts or Science... it's so hard to decide... Ah, i'll just stick to artifacts for the sake of artifact socks.
Though all topics are indeed very interesting.

[moki]

For SCIENCE, indeed 

[ebenezer]

Science pays my rent.

@Quloos: That smirking cat is pretty funny, heh.

Anyways, I'm sure there are going to be tons of questions related to science now that we will have actual real world material properties such as tensile strength. Not to mention that we can now make our own gases and liquids.

I'm evisioning making a dwarven chemistry lab, maybe

[Azkanan]

Just about everything that comes out of Tarn's mouth is exciting.

Including spinning vomit.

Maybe they should do interbreeding and artifacts. They're like to get the most votes.

Plus, it'll get dry if he talks about Artifacts for an hour and half. Only slighty dry.

Sort of Sewer Brew dry, you know?


Which reminds me! I found out my cousin makes beer at home. I'm going to ask him to make one called Sewer Brew. or Dwarven Wine.

[Morrigi]

I voted for combat specifics. The complexity of it all is just awesome.

[Retro]

I'm a man of science.

I mean, regardless, I'll be reading the transcript. But I've never really done much with combat, or dealing with races... and hell, sometimes I'm tempted to turn off artifacts and moods altogether. I'll just be more engaged if the conversation is on Science.

[AbacusWizard]

The science of DiscDwarfworld would be fascinating but as the son of an archaeologist I'd be more interested in hearing about the future of artifacts. 

[shadow_archmagi]

Artifacts are a huge source of amusement for many.

Combat specifics are fascinating

Learning more about the physics of DF would be great

Genetics are always fun

THIS CAN ONLY END WELL

artifacts that interbreed?
I can see it now...
two artifacts made by the same dwarf breed and create a baby artifact...

[Lumbajak]

And then at some point we have organic relics.

We're going down a dark path, for sure.

[CobaltKobold]

"dwarf leather earring"

[jokermatt999]

And then at some point we have organic relics.

We're going down a dark path, for sure.

So, a very fitting one for DF.

Personally, I think relics of important creatures' bones would be awesome. Sounds very dwarfy to me. We already have megabeasts being worshipped; relics are a logical progression.
