Just to make sure me and future storytellers can have it all in one place. :> amatoer has already updated the OP with the information, rules included, so it should be available there. Show nested quote +For new dorfs, should I randomly name them after people in the thread when they arrive or will every ruler just pick one for himself? I imagine you should name one after yourself if you want, but I don't think we should have too many named dwarves outside of that. Of course, please don't rename the dwarves already named. For you, you'll first be able to name a dwarf after the first migration wave, since the starting seven have already been named. As for using the LNP - realise that if you use the pack while copying the save from ours, you'll have unmodified inits, which will mess up things. I'd advice you to stick to the pack I released, unless you're very confident in personal usability mods. Edit: Alternatively, I could update the pack with LNP once I get home from work. Since I've never used LNP myself though, I'd have to build up an understanding of its functions before I could re-release the pack.
Yeah, realized the OP got updated thanks to PM. <3
Hmm... if you could, uploading the thing for LNP would be easier in the long run I guess, it's just so much easier to install and people can switch tilesets and stuff like they please for playing.
Make the call, I'm fine with playing with Tileset+Therapist only, just think it would make more sense via LNP. :>

I do have to ask if anyone will mind that I am not a fan of using graphics packs, simply because old habits die hard :< check the OP! You can have any spot that is not [seeded]. At the moment you are the first of the non-seeded. That means that you cant play earlier, but save your spot or take a later date of your rulership.

quick question is somebody going to make a prologue ?

Sounds good, I'll take the 8th year (first available unseeded).

I don't know what everyone wants about in terms of tilesets, but I'm comfortable with anything. I've always played DF with no addons and with ASCII tileset, so I'll be having fun trying out new features with whatever we use.

You guys might want to eventually plan to swap around on 1/2 years or something (or give people the option to do 1/2 years or full years). From what I remember last time a full year becomes very time consuming after 7 or 8 years. Especially when you're coming into a fort that's probably disorganized and/or one you don't know well. That's pretty much when the last TL fort died, when it took a good couple of weeks to play through a single year to get an update.

That's a good point. Well, currently we're capped at 100 dwarves, right? Or was that 100 dwarf children? Are we going into the modern economy in this game?

I'll make one if you let me  This is going to be fun, I'm going to PM it to amatoer later so he can update the OP with it.

In regard to seeding - I suppose we stop that once the first player's started, to avoid succession order confusion.

After six or so years, we might want to consider this one. I suppose each player evaluate the strain each year has taken, and once the time feels short for the ammount of work needed, let this thread know so we can cut it into shorter periods per player.

We're capped at 100 dwarves plus 50 children. The limit's not hard, though, so we might get a few more than that in the end.

A 100 dwarf fortress is totes manageable I think. For those of us with full-time jobs, though, finishing up a year in 3 days might be difficult. Remember though that even in a 100 dwarf fortress a fair number of those are gonna be dwarves you don't interact with a lot IE the bookkeeper, marksdwarves, etc except under certain circumstances. Still, it won't be easy. Things rarely are.

I added the prologue by the amazing KharadBanar. Now I'm really looking forward to this project and very happy to be a part of it! Let's start soon! :D
oh, and regarding the 3-days-rule: in my opinion you can have more time if you need it, just ask for it here. I can understand that some people are busier than others and I cant see any reason why you shouldn't get more time. But 1 week should really be the max. and should be the exception rather than the rule.

Working on uploading the modified LNP with our world currently. I'm having massive packet loss today though, so it might take a while.
Edit: Here's the new link. http://speedy.sh/P9USn/TLDF2wLNP.rar
