There's only two on the last page (including the one I posted). I remember there being a few more, but you need an archives account at SA to view them, and anyone those two were probably the most memorable.

Here is one http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Boatmurdered/chapter2-1.html

It's really a hilarious story. One of my favorite parts is the guy who writes his journal as if he were the guy from Quantum Leap   That's some comedy gold right there.

I was laughing at the beginning, but to the end I mourn. In the name of all those small ascii poor dwarves who follow their encoded paths of digital life.
This story made of silicon basement became the song about the wound in the mental reality itself...
It may look fun, but in the end, id doesn't really matters. It's totally Sad. And really epic.

I never read Boatmurdered... or Kobold Quest, or Kobold Quest II, or Nist Aka.. Akal... Aketh... something. I ought to get around to doing that.

[MrGimp]

Nist Akath.  And yeah its a good story, but its the opposite of boatmurdered.  In boatmurdered, they had EVERYTHING, and the fort still blew up.  In Nist Akath, they had NOTHING, and the fort has become the capital of the wastes.  Captain Mayday is even having a hard time TRYING to destroy it...hes modded the beasts to be tough as hell, but they cant even make a dent in the fortress.  Im sure hell find a way though.

Nist Akath can teach you a lot about how to run a fortress really well.  And its a funny ass story.  Captain Ironblood is covered in vomit, mud, and gore from head to toe.

I would never have played without boatmurdered. I don't think any of my friends would have either.

Heresy... and how dire a heresy... damned you are, Fenrir, for ignoring what make existence worth existing.
Now go and read.

[Kagus]

Hell, I haven't read it.  I started to, but then I got distracted.

[Cthulhu]

Read it, it's great.  An insane former ruler carving macabre graffiti on the walls, magma flows devouring entire trade caravans,  Elephants, insane !!Former Rulers!! breaking every bone in their victims' bodies.

[Narceh]

I just finished reading Boatmurdered, and can but repeat what just about everyone has said here - just about the only thing better than reading about Boatmurdered is playing DF

[Fenrir]

Does the fact that the Boatmurdered site is in a hot biome have something to do with the artifacts and engravings have "boil" in the name, or is that just a coincidence?

This was always my favorite bit from all of Boatmurdered:

"Legal records have shown a depressing amount of crime occuring in Boatmurdered, including one depraved dwarf who apparently amused himself by crippling defenseless animals. The cat's injuries to the spine, head, tail, and lungs are too horrible to depict, but I feel it appropriate to attach an image of the dog's plight."

[ChrisSketch]

Oh, can't forget the guy who roleplayed an Al Swearingen character straight out of HBO's Deadwood.

"The humans bring me a load of meat and cloth. I trade them an elephant in a cage for everything they own. Have fun with that one, assholes."

and

"We've got a little elephant issue happening down south. I'm starting to understand why the previous owner had a million of them in cages. One or two got pissed, and they killed someone, and now the dwarves are trying to get the items from the guys that died, and the elephants are just running wild over everyone. A couple of the elephants got caught in the remaining cage traps, but one or two got through.

The brave military men of Boatmurdered assemble by the front gate, and they brave themselves for a rush at the mighty elephants.

And it was about then when the fucking dwarven caravan arrived. I ordered the military to hold fast. Let the caravan guardsmen get themselves slaughtered by the elephants before we do.

Which was also right about when a goblin thief jumped out and got clobbered by a stonefall trap

So the merchants arrive to see blood and vomit everywhere, us hauling corpses en masse to the graveyard, a couple rampaging elephants

WELCOME TO FUCKING BOATMURDERED!

Hope you like miasma!"
