Dwarves are cursed enough anyway?

Why can I always come up with an answer but never a question?

[Max™]

I'm not sure, why do you think this is the case?

Why isn't there a better interface for asking about troubles and spreading word of your feats?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Cos it is inevitable and has to come to pass.

Why aren't people even slightly impressed by the slaying of a dragon?

[Max™]

They're stuck together with glue and breathe fire, so they're already on the verge of falling apart before you whack them in the head with a pick, causing it to go sailing off in an arc.

Why is it so hard to find a balance between "OH GOD EVERYTHING IS DEAD AND BURNING" and vanilla dragons when trying to mod them?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Because you are missing the point. Dragons are supposed to be  "OH GOD EVERYTHING IS DEAD AND BURNING".

Why do only night trolls live in mounds?

Why do only night trolls live in mounds?

Because they don't feel like a nut.

How do dwarves start fires for workshop reactions?

[IndigoFenix]

Well, according to Tolkien dwarves can make fire with magic... As long as they have a tinderbox, and it isn't too damp or anything.

Why don't bronze colossi sink if dropped in water?

Why don't bronze colossi sink if dropped in water?

Because they're hollow.

Why do only cats adopt owners in vanilla, and not dogs or other "followed me home"-type pets?

[FallenAngel]

Because cats are mutant beards, which, instead of attaching to a host, gather levity from a host, slowing dwarves down.
This is counteracted by alcohol - dwarves process alcohol into more levity, reducing their weight, and counteracting the cat effect.
The reason why dwarves slow down when sober when no cats are present is simple - the beard itself has a similar effect, but it instead adds gravity to their bloodstream, requiring levity to counter. Beards stop adding gravity to bloodstreams when cats are present.

How exactly does Fast Travel heal any wound that could be healed?

How exactly does Fast Travel heal any wound that could be healed?

It seems to be that "fast" travel is really only fast from our perspective.
Although why Adventurers regardless of race seem to heal faster still eludes me.

Any idea's as to why Adventurers heal faster in general than their relatively sessile counterparts in towns and forts?

The same reason they're never overcome by fear or horror: they are possessed by Armok.

The real question is, since those possessed by Armok have amazing healing capabilities out of combat, why don't they have fast healing in combat?

Armok's too busy watching them fight to heal their injuries.

Why do dwarves never emigrate from player fortresses?

[Max™]

They can check out any time they like but they may never leave.

Why do I want to write a DF version of that song now?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Let the dorfiness flow through you...

Why isn't pitchblende radioactive?

[Bumber]

Let the dorfiness flow through you...

Why isn't pitchblende radioactive?

Dwarves don't believe in stuff like radioactivity or heavy metal poisoning. It's not supported by the Thaumaturgic Method, since those minerals don't have any syndromes.

Why don't the dwarves just collapse all their enemies' cities into the magma sea?
