Combat Specifics, I'm sure there will be alot of questions about this even though I don't have any myself.

Since there are so many new combat changes what with the squads, materials, poisons, gas/liquid stuff, tissues, etc, that this one could be a really informative one before the new release.

Artifacts sounds rather specific to dedicate an entire DF Talk to, but I'd be interested in hearing what Toady has to say about them. :)

I'm all about a full discussion of the races of Dwarf Fortress. :Db

I'm one of the few, the proud, the people who have voted for Interspecies Breeding in the Eternal voting thingy.

"The future of artifacts" may seem pretty specific, but specificity promotes detail in the resulting discussion. Also, I really want to see how they'll develop in the future, as they're a major part of the history of your dwarves, your fortress, and your world.

INTERBREEDING?


Seriously, though, I'll be happy to listen to any of these.
Just about everything that comes out of Tarn's mouth is exciting.

I will be greatly amused if Combat Specifics loses by <10 votes again.

Yet again I can't decide so I don't vote. Good luck to all of you who do.

Oddly enough the cat picture was cuter and funnier WITHOUT the writing.
