it's not so much a series as a shared universe with stories from a bunch of different authors.

unfortunately, whale they are an entertaining read, some are in bad need of editing.

they're all here: http://crystalhall.org/

Awesome, some orcs arrived but when I went to check up on them they were all dead. It seems they froze to death in the cold.  :D

How quickly?  Like, as soon as they arrived?

Think you can brave the cold? How about endless waves of zombies, goblins, and orcs? Check out Talltower the Tall Tower of Ice.

Nah, they were hanging around a few days I suppose. I suspect that it is because they only have  layering of 10, while dwarves have a layering of 50, most tropical creatures have a layering of 100 and artic creatures 200-300.

Maybe try and crank them up a little bit so that they don't freeze before trying to reach our gates.

I suppose I should have figured that would happen.  I made a bunch of adventurers in this world and they all ended up like that scene from Terminator 2.

Some of you complained about it being too easy.  Here's what I did.

No trade with anyone, and active war with 3 races of goblins (I prefer Gawblinz myself) and Orcs

Wait, the elves reached me somehow even though you claim we don't have any trade with them.  ???  Also, mid-summer with no sign of humans.

Yeah, the game made a lot of claims that I don't think it's going to uphold.  In my year, the dwarves showed up to trade with me.  Did the elves even make it to the depot before freezing (cuz the Dwarven pack mule sure didn't)?

So yeah. Basically I made a large textile industry, made larger farms and proper food production, made extremely huge crypts, some bedrooms, a new dining room, new main entrance. Constructed a  new trade depot, got some migrants in winter and in spring brinigng our total population up to 44. OH yeah and got our first 3 artifacts.

Also it seems that it's impossible to do any aboveground farming around here for some strange reason.

Suggestions for new projects for next player:

Large tower cap farm when ug river is discovered (we need wood and no trees or any plants for that matter seem to grow around here)
Gym
Ice farm
Lots of more bedrooms
A statue garden

My belated and lazy attempt at a story. (No pictures for you! Use your imagination!)

Wow you guys do a lot in one year.  :o

Dont expect much from me though.  :)

I guess I could mine for the UG while making some more bedrooms.

Also, how did you get so many coffins? o_O

Lots and lots of patience.  :D Also rock, and a now legendary mason.

P.S. Added a story to my previous post.

Just to make sure, there IS an underground river somewhere to provide water for an Ice farm, right?

And which floor is Demonic Spoon's at this point? I would think it to be the one below the community level
