Ghoo-Ghul, the All-Seeing Ruler of the Internet, brother to the Lore-Lord Wi'kai Peyja. Humble yourself in His presence, and he will grant you limitless truths.

Mixed with innumerable lies.

Well, we did say "limitless".

The idea of using a fortress as a dungeon creator is actually a really good idea and I'm kind of annoyed with myself for not having thought it up already.

As for my own experiences with DF/D&D fusion, all I have to add is that I once wrote up the background for a Dwarf Cleric of mine in the style of a DF dorf's info page.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Dream Rüsheshtén, "Dream Deathsmith", Hammerdwarf

Dream Rüsheshtén has been fine lately. She made a friend lately. She was annoyed by vermin lately. She complained of the lack of chairs lately. She beat somebody with a hammer recently. She shouted at someone in charge recently, and felt better afterwards. She has been evicted lately.
She is a dubious worshipper of kinetic force in general.
She is a citizen of Khaad, the City of Ten Thousand Waterfalls.
Dream Rüsheshtén likes Obsidian, Steel, Moonstone, rat leather, hammers, socks, and bulettes for their resemblance to a certain Carcharhiniform of comedic origin. When possible, she prefers to consume Dwarven Ale. She absolutely detests gelatinous cubes.
She is a risk-taker and a thrill-seeker. She finds helping others rewarding. She does not have a great aesthetic sensitivity. She dislikes contracts and regulations. She is eager for new experiences. She occasionally overindulges. She needs alcohol to get through encounters. She likes working outdoors and grumbles only mildly at inclement weather.

Sadly the game I made her for never really got off the ground.

I used my fortress as a site to explore and investigate the collapse of a dwarven settlement. Everyone seemed interested in the place although there were a few things to consider.

1. Apartment complexes make boring play. They will assume one room contains a widget.
2. Players get lost in clutter, ie, stockpiles. They will assume one box contains a widget.
3. Players do not respect staircases. One player took lethal damage and died when two of them were horseplaying with flare spells on a staircase. I told them it was a long freestanding staircase decending multiple floors with no handrails, and the idiot goes and rolls down some forty steps and careens off a corner.

I would definitely love to see a Dwarf Fortress  themed D&D game on the forums.Could be played by gametable perhaps.Maps and history and traps all could easily be taken from a selection of fortresses on the DFMA.

Wut? I posted a a couple threads around, to gauge interest for JUST this. And it seemed there wasn't any. If people are changing their minds, i would be more than glad to start a campaign.

Count me in for sure if you are.I'm a bit rusty on the rules,but nothing a late night of reading wont fix.There seems to be several other people in just this thread interested.

This thread reminded me on a theory i had a while back. Essentially the Monster in the Dark (MiTD) is one of toadys forgotten beasts and oots itself a D&D / DF crossover.

I already mentioned it, but I want to re-assert how much I'd love to join in on this if it ever actually happened.

3. Players do not respect staircases. One player took lethal damage and died when two of them were horseplaying with flare spells on a staircase. I told them it was a long freestanding staircase decending multiple floors with no handrails, and the idiot goes and rolls down some forty steps and careens off a corner.

Been there, done that. Well, I did it in a large marble bathtub, and somehow I didn't kill myself, but same principle.

I'd play, although I don't know whether my schedule would permit such a thing. Monitoring with interest...

[Genoraven]

Allright, i'lll post another topic for planning of it. If you're interested in it post in the topic.
