    Episode 10: Our Spooky Shared Fort

    Episode 9: Death By Slippery Slope

    It’s the safety requirements that’ll kill ya, folks. Drew tells us all about how to build a waterfall at your fort entrance, Kristin wonders if merchants are dumb or bugged, and we both share some weird fiction from our new forts. Plus, we reflect on how storytelling is an integral part of the game.

    Episode 8: Hell Is Just a Hot Aquifer

    We talk fort reclamation, aquifers, and HELL! Seriously, though, we cover a lot of ground in this episode. Drew is trying to dig to hell, Kristin reclaimed an old fort, and aquifers ooze uncontrollably. In other words, it’s a normal day in Dwarf Fortress.

    Episode 7: Age and Ages

    Two weeks may feel like an AGE between episodes, but we’re back and we’re ready to talk about AGES of time… okay, there’s nothing there. Regardless, we’ve got weird news from our forts, and we delve into world generation and how history passes in Dwarf Fortress. We also talk a bit more about FPS problems,…

    Episode 6: Embarks, Sparkles, and Aquifers

    We’re back! Welcome new listeners! We’re talking embark locations, including surroundings and how to deal with aquifers. We both have new forts and lots to say about them, and we mourn the demise of both Ragdreams and Daubedpages. Kristin also had a knock-down, drag-out fight with the microphone about a quarter of the way through…

    Episode 5: Should I Abandon My Fort?

    Nothing says romance like zombie entrails and olm people skeletons. We’re both facing some troubles with our forts, and it might be time to move on. Drew’s linked location (Dungsville?!) is having some economic success, and Kristin cannot get rid of the zombies. Should we call it quits and embark anew?
