See if I can get tilesets and character sets to work on the new version with some tweaking. Then proceed to start a 'Gate to the Underworld'
Aboveground fortress into the side of a mountain, going down into the caverns/hfs/magma.

Ohhh. I'm making the Aperture Fortress folder now. It might not happen any time soon, but it WILL. I think I even know how turrets might work.

[Strangething]

Oh. Creatures can have poison clouds, right?
...Hm.

If applied correctly, I think I could have large amounts of Fun next version... A whole new use for nobles.

Once, I planned to run a fortress called "Cakelie" and blog the results in-character. Then all seven of my test subjects got eaten by harpies, and I lost interest in the idea.

Actually yea, since you can enter the "underdark" and according to Toady go from one side of the world to the other using them, caves could actually become entertaining again.  And the great cave theme would actually fit it very very well.

Of course actually traveling anywhere via the underdark would likely take days...IRL.  It takes hours to travel by road 5 tiles, Imagine that with dead ends  impassible areas more dangerous wildlife and not being able to see more than 3 tiles in any direction.  Successfully traveling more than a few worldtiles via the underground in adventure mode would likely be akin to a megaproject.

Embark on a 1x1 area with some gazillion z-levels, and create a deep mine shaft that everyone will live alongside.

I will build TWO FORTS on the same map.

I will physically separate the two with a natural or artificial feature. A river or chasm, if I can get it, else a cliff.

There will be no two-way bridge between the two forts. Instead, they will have two one-way trapdoors (one for each direction) so that only goods I mark for dumping may be traded between the forts.

If possible, I would like to alternate which of the two forts gets the trade caravans.

It would probably help to mod yourself not to need to eat, sleep, or drink.

And be [SIZE:20] while we're at it.

I'm thinking that going into the deep, dark depths of the world in adventure mode is going to be a "permanent" decision.

It may be a permanent decision but I dont think its a viable one yet. It'll need towns and quest generators for it to be functional in that regard. I think right now, it'll be the neat place to go to get lose and die.

[Acanthus117]

I want to make a tower with a huge dungeon basement, complete with resident goblin horde.

[Argonnek]

After some thought, the second thing I will do is have an unskilled surgeon work on all of my injured dwarves in a room with grates for floors over a river leading to a waterfall.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

Harriers for the cup!

[dwarfguy2]

i will see this "arena mode" and pit a demon against seven champions.
