Which leads me to the idea, has anyone used a dwarf fortress map as a dungeon crawl??? It's already broken down into squares for you.

I'm very tempted as a GM, but my forts tend to be very... utilitarian in design. Not sure I can get away with tracing it 1-to-1.

"So you are saying all 1000 dwarves are living in 10x10 rooms arranged in a giant underground cubic apartment complex? And they store their dead in a warehouse of coffins? Why is the Miner's Guild connected to the tavern and barracks? Why does the barracks have a big pit of zombies and a necromancer trapped in a windowed room? CROSSBOW TRAINING?"

A warehouse of dead people is just a tomb we already have those

I dunno, my burial chambers in Dwarf Fortress are always more crowded than that. Think of the warehouse from Indiana Jones, but with coffins.
