Minecraft Roleplay... dwarf Fortress Style!
« on: September 25, 2011, 10:27:45 pm »

I think it would be fun to do a dwarf fortress style embark in minecraft. I love both games and had the idea, seeing as they are similar in aspects. If some people wanted to get together on the weekends to try this, I would love it. I would definitely be a mechanic/engineer, seeing as redstone is my favorite :D. What do you guys think? even if this has been done before, I would like to give it a shot

Hmm, interesting idea. Some questions:

Would the players have strictly defined roles (like, only the designated carpenter can gather wood), or would everyone be able to do what they want?
Would everyone have to be online at certain times?

I'm sure I have more, but that's all I can think of for now.  :P

More importantly, would there be a second team of goblins?

I have been thinking about and looking for servers based on this exact idea. I live in canada and would love to give this a try, but how would thingd like designation work and would we use vent or skype or something. You should re-write your first post and clarify your ideas.

Would the goblin team (should there be one) be allowed to destroy dwarven blocks? It's well known that only dwarves can undo dwarven constructions.

I live in the EU, and I'm interested. I'd like to be a miner or woodcutter.

Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

We should have one big room near the start of the fort with a (somewhat roughly-dwarfishly-made) model of the fort, for orientation and so on. Maybe shields on the floor, roughly one block for every 32x32 block of the fort?

GMT -3 and interested too.

I really want that one as a "when". I want "grubs", and "virgin woman" to turn into a dragon. and monkey children to suddenly sprout wings. And I want the Dwarven Mutant Academy to only gain their powers upon reaching puberty. I also have a whole host of odd creatures that only make sense if I divide them into children and adults.

Also, tadpoles.

There comes a time when you must take off the soft, furry slippers of a boy and put on the shoes of a man.
Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.
