The tale of Gearchannel
« on: March 05, 2010, 07:08:46 pm »
a group of 7 peasants bring with them only a steel axe fled form the dieing fortress of Darkforest(not really but that was my last fortress), but their wagon broke down in and evil forest/mountain/stream end. Them and their leader whitefang decided to create their own fortress due to home being so far away knowing the trade routes came by there. within a few days they made shelter, but lost two of the fishing dwarfs while they tried drinking from the steams (even though i told them not to), then eteb keskalibesh lost his mind and strangled the leader whitefang to death and then went on to kill everyone except the woodcutter. The story will continue!!! will the wood cutter survive the night... or will he lose his mind!

This has inspired me to write a piece of Dwarven horror fiction.

I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help but imagine little bearded babies for dwarves. In my mind, they come out of the womb fully bearded. That's how the mother carries them around, too, she just drags them around by the beard or ties it to her belt. When the father's on duty, he just ties their beards together and the baby just kind of hangs there, swinging to and fro with Urist McDaddy's movements.

It's a perfect Dwarf Fort moral story. The world hates you....do not taunt it.

Since I gan't do community forts. I'll try Fort-shorts (short stories about fortresses that don't last long love magma)

your hoard, your dwarves, and your fortress.
I prefer Hoard, Horde, and Hovel...

If you want something fun and quick, just take on some simple projects.

Turn off immigration entirely, start a fortress, carve out some housing, build a depot, enclose it in a stone structure, and build a tower to one side.  Abandon and leave it in the world.  Litter the world with a half-dozen small outposts like this...  coming across a settlement of any size, even something small, can add flavor to a world.

Not everything has to be Copperblazes.
