So, I searched, and it looks like there were a couple attempts to do legacy games here that got derailed, but I didn’t notice much discussion… so, since I’m occaisionally taken by a fey mood and feel a need to play all night, anybody want to talk DF?

For those not in the know, Dwarf Fortress is a roguelike adventure/strategy/simulation game. It’s insanely complex, the physics are nuts, and it’s about the least user-friendly game I’ve ever seen or heard of. If you want to find out if you’re interested, the worst thing you can do is pick it up and try to start playing.

You’d be better off to check out Captnduck’s various tutorials, the first of which is here.

You’ll probably also spend some time checking out the Dwarf Fortress Wiki for details.

Further, if you’re like me, you’ll want to install a graphical tile set of some kind, because you don’t want to spend most of your time swapping to other windows trying to remember what D@g means.
