Foreword

Come join 185 drunken, belligerent, greedy jerks and the dwarfs named after them as we witness the highs, lows, battles, tragedies, amazing feats and crushing incompetence of a Dwarf Fortress succession game.

Yes, this looks like an extremely long LP. DON'T PANIC. It's probably shorter than it looks, really.

This game generated an enormous amount of reader participation, and there are lots of pieces of art, short stories and journal entries. The archivist has tried to preserve as much of this as possible, as events in the reader posts were frequently incorporated into the overseer updates. You can find any additional content below the relevant overseer post - you don't have to read it, but if you want the full picture we suggest you do.

This LP is a direct sequel to Dwarf Fortress: Headshoots, and contains major spoilers for it from the first post.
