[Parhelion]

Because the grass is always greener when somebody else wants it.


How can dwarves engrave stone and gather sand without tools, but require a pick to break the magical barrier protecting soil and stone?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

It is a well known fact that the soil and stone in DF is held together by beard hair, which also explains how an entire fortress can be held up by a single pillar. Thus, dwarves cannot just break stone with their beards alone, like what they do with engraving and collecting sand which are just basically taking away little chips of material not covered by beard, since beard cannot break beard. Hence, they must use some sort of tool to do so.

When a live creature is dropped from a great height, it explodes. When a dead body is dropped from a great height, it just caves someone's skull in. Why?

[Aslandus]

Rigor mortis is a bitch

Why does blood never wash off walls?

[miauw62]

It seeps into the beard that protects the walls, thus also explaining how a fight on one side of a wall can make the other side bloody.

Why do werecreatures never get thirsty or hungry?

[Eric Blank]

Oh, they do. Their lust for blood and flesh never abates, and so they seek it without hesitation from whatever source is available. Displaying the hungry or thirsty status would simply be redundant. However, they need not eat or drink to live; the curse of the gods keeps them nourished just enough to survive one more night. One more blurred and muted, blood-filled rampage through the local village.

Why do werebeasts buddy up with others afflicted by the same curse, but not by other werebeast curses, even if the same deity is responsible for their situation? They're all competition, after all.

[Aslandus]

If you turn into a chinchilla every full moon, it's much easier to relate to someone else who turns into a chinchilla than someone who turns into a mammoth...

Why do werebeasts only stick around a fortress for about three kills then turn back into their normal form and flee?

[Max™]

It takes a few kills before they uh.... achieve release?

Why is that the first thing which came to mind?

[Aslandus]

Because it's extremely accurate

Why do I think it's accurate?

[Eric Blank]

Because you're a sadistic pervert, just like me!

Why do necromancers always leave their family when they learn the secrets, instead of sharing the love?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Less necromancers = more dead bodies = more mindless minions

How does DF math look like?

[Lemunde]

1g / 10s = 9gp

 Why is dwarf vomit blue?

[Max™]

1g / 10s = 9gp

 Why is dwarf vomit blue?

Because you need to adjust your monitor.

What is miasma?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Purple-coloured mist. Dwarves hate purple because it reminds them of nobles, so it gives them a bad thought.

Why are nobles purple?

[Graknorke]

Royal purple. It's the most appropriate for the upper class, no?

How do elves wash without soap?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

They wash?

Why hasn't someone thought of dropping children on invaders?
