DWARF FORTRESS

[Schwarzwald]

THE COLONY DIG: Recruitment & Founding ​

I’m founding a little Dwarf colony right here on the forum, and I need the first wave of settlers to help define the initial "Great Dig."

We’re starting with nothing but a hole in the ground and some questionable intentions. I need your input to flesh out the foundations before the first pickaxe hits the stone.
​

The Starter Areas​

Where are we setting up shop? Is it a lush forest with a dark secret, a frozen wasteland, or something more sinister?


Give me a biome and a name for our starting plot.​

Dwarf Skills & Starting Gear​

What are our founders bringing to the table? We need more than just "Miners."

What are the 3 essential "Starter Skills" for our first colonists?
What’s the one piece of "Cursed" or "Essential" gear we’ve packed in the wagon?​

The Essentials: Food, Drink, & Art​

Man cannot live on stone alone.

What is our staple crop/booze?

What kind of "Masterwork Art" should be engraved on our walls to keep the spirits up?​

WARRRRRRRRR & THE TWISTED THEMES​

What is the overarching vibe of this colony? Are we a peaceful commune, or is there a "sick and twisted" underlying goal?

Define our Primary Goal: (e.g., Total domination, summoning something from the deep, or just building the world's largest vat of mushroom wine).

The Twist: What’s the hidden rule or dark secret that governs our little society?
