I'll take Reg.  See if I can't be some sort of extremely sophisticated bouncer.

I put a skill in wrestler, too. Anyway,

Does anyone like my intro!?

i was going to be reg for the same reason, but i thought it be funnier to have to give console to all the crazies
You're probably right on that mark.  Still, I think I'll enjoy Reg until he jumps off of a cliff.

Well, I can't wait till the next guy comes along.

"OK, so we are in a haunted mountain, we are rapidly running out of food, and there is a human here! He doesn't even disguise it! He even ruled the previous year! Gods, what the hell is up with this fort?!"

Lucus closed the book he was reading and peered over the side of the wagon.  "He's not human.  I spoke to a couple of the gate guards back at the mountainhome about it before we departed, and they said he was just superdwarvenly tall.  Besides, who would let a human join an expedition?"

He stood up and straightened his beard.

"Anyway, we're on the mountain, not in it.  This should be remedied.  I don't suppose any of you thought to bring a pick?"

even better is the fact that  i cant help but kill human caravans

Always cheaper than trading.

We're going to start the succession game after a few of us post about the situation, correct?

Well, how about we roleplay until the arrival?

Right, going to save...

And I'll just play DF while we roleplay.

That's a fairly valid point.  What version of DF are we using?  I'm inclined towards current (30.10), but 40d is acceptable.

30 doesn't work on my computer, so I use 28.

Wait, is 28 the 2D version or is it the 40d type version?

Fniff's Diary:

Day 1.

Well, you could say I wasn't expecting this.

Stuck with a bunch of dwarves in some fucking hellhole that is apparently haunted, while one makes a bunch of stupid jokes all the time and the only one who is doing anything is a person who is a novice miner! Jesus...

We are setting up a stockpile area, then a carpenters and mason's area downstairs, then finally the rooms, which our seven dwarves will be sleeping in. Or on.

They still haven't figured it out. Jesus, I can't believe it. They even haven't asked any questions! Well, one, but that one was easy. It was "Why are you so tall?". So,  I made some stuff up about how it was a gift from Armok and how my expert record keeping also came from that.

Good thing that Jordake is slightly good at doing mining.  Imagine if we managed to make this a thriving fortress! Ha! How would the caravan even get here!?

I also ordered the slaughtering of a stray horse and a stray mule. Hey, more food. I ate horse once, tasted great.

Day 2.

My God.... So bored! I wish Jordake would just finish up! How long does it take for him to move.

I borrowed Lucus's book. It was written in dwarven.

God-dammit.

Day 3.

HOW LONG CAN A DWARF TAKE TO MAKE A SINGLE ROOM GODDAMMIT!
