There are three rules to Dwarf Fortress:
  • Rule 1: You cannot ask the rules.
  • Rule 2: We cannot tell you the rules.
  • Rule 3: You will be penalized set on fire for breaking the rules.

I'm blatantly copy/pasting something that someone else said many many months ago, but it was so beautiful that it is forever etched into my mind. I'm too lazy to search for who wrote it, but... props to them!

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.

Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

True, but at a certain velocity the resulting explosion expels invader-bits at fatal speeds. You don't want to be dropping trogdolyte-shaped shrapnel bombs into your boneworks.
Only in Dwarf Fortress...

A couple more from me:

Dwarf Fortress: 2 cats, 1 fort

Dwarf Fortress: AA has no purpose here

Dwarf Fortress: More 'shrooms than Woodstock

Dwarf Fortress: Less hippies than Woodstock (provided you played right)

Dwarf Fortress: Let's see your DM come up with a better campaign

Dwarf Fortress: Where reality is surreal, where surreality is real

Dwarf Fortress: Where modding is legal, in fact, it's encouraged

Dwarf Fortress: Where you can sell coins for more coins, just because one is prettier than a few, and nobody would think twice about it

Dwarf Fortress: Can you strangle a colossus with a rock? I have.

Dwarf Fortress: Where it's possible to do anything without tools (sorta)

Dwarf Fortress: Where dying of natural causes means being melted by magma, eaten by a carp, cave ins, drowned and frozen...

Dwarf Fortress: This is what everyone was playing/seeing in The Matrix.

Dwarf Fortress: This is what God plays on His time off

Dwarf Fortress: The only other game where you can store a dragon, 4 cows, 200 kittens, and 20 goblins in a square foot of space, and nobody asks any questions

Dwarf Fortress: Where perpetual energy is a reality


Less slogany:
Quote from: valcon
Adventure Mode in Dwarf Fortress is the most fully featured underpants wrestling simulator to date.

What proof do dwarves make alcohol? Because these things can explode.

Getting a burn notice means an imp escaped from the magma pipe.

"Fight or flight?" is what hammerers usually ask before they strike.

Remembered this from the art-thread. Someone needs to redraw/finish this image, and it will be a punchline in itself :D

More sketching just for fun (I still need a scanner). Merchants arriving to a typical fortress.

Ooh, I like yours better. 
Dwarf Fortress:  It has depth to it

Quote from: GildedBear on March 13, 2010, 12:12:05 am
I'm going to throw my, admittedly minor (read: insignificant), weight behind this one, it has depth to it. It points out a common element of the gameplay, it hints at the horrible acts that are committed in the name of dwarfiness, and it implies the correct mindset, after all, one must crush elves vile forces or darkness
