Dwarf Fortress

Anyone else out there playing this?

I've just got the hang of it tonight, been rather frustrated until everything just seemed to slip into place.

Anyway, good stories anyone?

Mine seem to revolve around people getting possessed. [Since I have yet to be attacked by goblins]

Peasant got went nuts and started killing other dwarves. Took down 37 of my 52 dwarf dungeon before he was killed. Ended up killing him by flooding half my Fort.

Engraver got possessed and eventually started throwing bolts of energy that killed every single animal in my fortress that got near him. Oh, and a hunter who got between the engraver and his dogs.

Clothier got possessed, ended up locking her in her room. Eventually went insane and at her own arm due to starvation [was also naked].

Quite possibly the most epic game I've ever played. And yeah, stories?

Dwarf Fortress is one of the best games ever made. I haven't played it in months... maybe I should start again =)

I made a trap tunnel once where a critter got stuck without dying. A dwarf wandered in to clean something up, gets eaten by the critter. Dwarf 2 hurries over to clean up the growing mess, gets eaten... It got out of control pretty fast =(

I've been asleep but here's a beginners guide. It's what I used to get into it. I also highly reccomend the tile version of the game over the ASCII.
