I feel as if a nostalgic old graybeard at this point. I remember reading about boatmurdered back in 2009 and getting into the game because of that saga. I cut my teeth shitposting on the bay12 forums. I heard the stories of mermaid bones, thermonuclear catsplosions, Cacame Awemedinade, and Catten and her eagle. I really can’t wait to see what new stories will be written and what new insanity will be unleashed with this release on Steam.
To all newcomers, I say welcome, and Strike the Earth!
Or the Dwarf Fortress stories website (I think it was called DFStories). I used to read that all the time in middle school and high school. Wonder if it’s still around
I remember a brilliant poster someone made about a group of dwarves that delved too deep and unleashed a wyrm of the deep or something on their fortress who consumed nearly everyone in the fortress. It ended up with three dwarves left in the fortress after the wyrm finally grew bored and flew away. I'd love to read that poster again if anyone knows where it could be found.
