I want to see if I could get more people on this project I might be able to get it sold on some online retailers too.. If you guys dont mind. I would like to give everyone that participated (if i get it rolling) a t shirt of their accomplishments as overseers for personal touch. Also i figured one last quote should be good shirt

 Quote from: AnimaRytak

    We call the madness Terry and scold him whenever reality breaks.
    Bad Terry, bad!

I was bored, so I decided to run with what I feel like a cool design would be. Left is front, right is back. I used my reign, of course, because, well, I'm me. The font, of course, is horrendous, as is the bordering, but it was really just a quick-job on paint, and I'm no artist. I'm thinking some really "ironically cool" font for most of it, and maybe a hellfire border on the back. This is really just for eyeballing. Lemme know what you think


E: Thinking maybe the quote on the back could be chosen by the ruler? Or maybe one could get multiple shirts, each with a different quote.

[Flaede]

OK, can I get back into the Overseer Rotation? I once again have a functional computer. Sadly, no internet, but tea-and-wifi go great together.

28 Sandstone

The militia have just returned from battle with the demon and so work on the hospital resumes! Victory goes to Mideg who slew the demon by punching straight through it's chest from behind causing it to burst into a steam cloud.

5 Timber

Goden has been brought up to the old hospital from the magma fortress ALIVE! Me and the Mad Fool immediately removed her adamantium armor and began treatment. Praise that blessed metal! I've left her in the Mad Fool's care to continue treatment but my own prognosis is that she will live.

2 Opal

Another forgotten beast has appeared, this time in the caverns. The masons were able to find the tunnel they've been using to enter the fortress. I've ordered it sealed to prevent any further incursions.



5 Opal

Osod got into the fortress and killed a cat. A nearby cook and the militia was able to put it down before it got a chance to cause serious harm.


(Also, the year just ended. I only got a chance to oversee the fortress for 10 months since the last person wasn't able to finish their turn. So unless the next overseer really wants a go I'm gonna take the next 12 months stabilizing and streamlining the fortress, getting the new hospital constructed, and getting magma and water pipes flowing through the lower fortress and piped down to hell)

(One more thing. What program should I use to export the game save to map so you guys can take a look at the insanity.)

[Sappho]

You can export a map from the game in the ESC menu (somewhere below save game), convert it with the map converter (you can find it on the wiki I think) and upload it to the map archive. Sorry for not providing more specific directions and links, but I just got home from a 12-hour shift and I just don't have the concentration left to find them.

Totally fine by me.  That said, you've been at your turn for 22 days.  So try not to take too long in your next year.

Needs a better font.  Perhaps something fantasy-esque or the dwarf fortress font.

[Velard]

Do whatever you like with the back, but I think this is a pretty good front.

Certainly, as I said. Not quite sure what the perfect font is, though. Excello could be interesting, as could Fairy dust, but both seem a bit off somehow. Fantasy One seems the best fit to me, but then again excello just looks so awesome!

Not sure whether it was intentional, but I feel as if the shirt needs to be black, so that there's just the face there.

[Velard]

Yeah, I wanted black but they didn't didn't have pure black, just different shades of sorta-black.

[scaliper]

Coolio. I still think the font isn't quite the right one...at the moment, I'm torn between excello and fantasy one, but there's still a world of fonts out there that I haven't even looked at.

T-Shirt design is so fun!

Yeah, midterms got a hold of me but luckily I was still able to get regular updates despite how crazy things were. I'm on Thanksgiving break now though so I'm gonna try to power through things so I can hand off the torch to the next overseer.

[Karakzon]

i want one of those shirts xP

I'm just popping in here to suggest that perhaps some form of Elder Futhark inspired font. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Futhark ) Ancient germanic/norse runes seem fitting for dwarves, given that the runes use simple straight lines so they can be carved into things. Also the whole rape/pillage/burn Viking mentality fits for your average Bay12er fort.

It would be interesting, but I feel like the characters themselves would have to be so anglicized for the sake of readability that they wouldn't look very Nordic, but rather very straight-line-English. Then again, I don't really know, and people can do some crazy things with letters.

Personally, I'm leaning towards the idea of having the entire font be that Fantasy One, with the year description being Excello. The latter just strikes me as incredibly dwarfy, but it really doesn't mesh with the doomburger tone.

You forgot the best quote ever:

"More blood for the blood god!  More skulls for the skull throne!  More meat for the meat salsa!"

(I'm pretty sure that was Anima but I'm not looking through 70+ pages for it )
