The gills on the underside of mushroom caps are where they make and store spores.  Or at least store and release spores.

So more properly reproductive organs.

[Acanthus117]

Ah. So should I add gills as well?

[Coidzure Dreams]

If you want to.  They'll be nonfunctional as of now.  It'll basically be on the underside of the cap which is attached to the head, so the layering seems somewhat confusing on the surface.

Hummm... What if the body is like this: standard humanoid form, but with a cap-like head with eyes and gills as a mouth item?

[Coidzure Dreams]

I like it.  Would definitely be an interesting way to watch 'em eat...

So, when are we going to see "PHM Fortress" mods,  also did anyone make a topic for this in the modding subforum

[Coidzure Dreams]

Surprisingly no.  So I just made one.

So, PHM Modding Section Topic to continue the discussion in.  http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=54912.msg1180524#msg1180524

Heh. Nip them in the bud.

You win the award for horrible puns as well! =P

Puns, you say?

[Rastaan]

Bahahahah...Facepalm. ^.^

I was looking through an old history book recently, and found this. No comment on the accuracy, but I thought it was an interesting story.

From: Jack Toole
To:    Georges Clemenceau

This was found in an abandoned foxhole. It may be just the scribblings of a madman, but may be worth looking into; signs of a possible biological weapon?

The original scribblings were dirtied and grammatically incorrect, but fully understandable. I have corrected them as best I can; it is the belief of our engineer that the original will not survive transport, so I am storing it here at the western front. We do not believe the Germans can penetrate our lines, so it will be safe enough.

Diary entry of Urist Armlistrand. 1073, month.. who the hell knows in this place. Call it obsidian.

It has been seven months since I first came here. Seven months without a drop of true-water, and I don't think I can last much longer. The world of Armok is truly a cruel place.

You who come here after me, beware. Though they make what they call alcohol here, it is corrupted and weakened, unable to replenish our vital fluids. I thought we could survive here: I was wrong!

The priests are wrong! Alcohol is not a sacrament! It is a necessity, one created by our own foolishness! Even now, I feel the terrible lethargy as the roots penetrate my flesh, turning me into one of them. It should hurt, oh Armok, I should be screaming in pain! But all I feel is numbness, and a terrible, creeping cold.

Do not eat the flesh of the plump helmets who walk! It is our undoing. Seven seasons ago, I partook of that of the walking ones, and I am now paying for it. Avoid the walkers!

But if it is too late, always drink. The true-water will prevent their seed from sprouting.

..as it does in me, now.

[Acanthus117]

Hilarious and awesome, Baughn.

Power Win....OVERWHELMING!!

*Looks at a few raw files*

It MIGHT, just might, be possible to make the children vermin, change there tile to a single dot like the rats, and change there name to 'Plump helmet man spawn'.

I MUST TRY IT!
Right after I light a beard on fire...

I remember somebody else wanted to do this with all sorts of enemies, to make sieges harder. Their verminous spawn would penetrate fortifications, etc, and then suddenly mature into a warrior inside your fortress. Unfortunately, I think the word from on high is that verminousness is one of the few things that is not yet applicable at a caste level.

evil story

Interestingly, beer is not brewed in a distillery in reality.  It would be brewed in the kitchen.  Now, dwarven rum would be distilled AFTER being brewed, again, in a kitchen....

Not sure if they will ever get around to updating that...

And yet you choose to ignore the fact that were brewing with fungi.

Well, if anything's equipped to break down fungi, it'd be another fungus.

Though I remember some discussion of the idea of mushroom wine IRL...  Something about HFS being mentioned.

As it is, one does need to make up a "mash" in order to get the stuff to distill, so the plump helmet man being made into a mash makes sense at least.  And given their bizarre anatomy, being semi-aware of one's surroundings while in such a discombobulated state isn't too far fetched.

If sentience tastes like tears, then sentience is delicious.

I've drank tears before.
