No spots have been taken yet, just seeing if there was enough interest to even form a recruitment thread.
Answer: There is!
So there'll be a recruitment thread sometime in late June or maybe early July (as I have the whole first week off of work), depending on the prep work I get done in advance.
Any chance you could send out PMs to people who've posted in this thread once the recruitment thread is up? I don't usually hang out on that forum, and I don't want to miss it.
Definitely interested. I'd lean to some kind of dwarf with an earthy feel. I'd like to try a Living Monolith, but with dwarven flair instead of egyptian.

I can certainly do that, yeah.

Excellent. I look forward to it!
Any updates? I'm really looking forward to playing this. I was actually thinking of playing such a game before Ultimate Campaign was even announced, but there was no easy way to do such before.
I have some thoughts. To actually get migrants to our fortress, we'll need some kind of trail for them to blaze. That might be a part of the caravan portion of the campaign, but we'd have to do it fairly early on or it should be quite difficult to get the numbers of people that are necessary to claim hexes or build settlements. Also, it's likely that there will be a time between establishing our first outpost and getting enough people to actually start a kingdom. At that point we'd just be dealing with one fortress. Fortunately Ultimate Campaign has rules for constructing buildings. We might have to decide if we can start with different types of capital, and perhaps we could gather them while still in the caravan stage.
Definitely digging this idea.
I assume Summoner will be banned (since it always is, despite my strong desire to try one), so I'll likely submit a Bard or Druid?
I also am interested!
Definite interest here. Love dwarves and the concept of building a kingdom with one excites me greatly.

Rob allowed a Merfolk Synthesist Summoner in his other campaign (One I'm in as well), so don't necessarily think that. More likely, your background and roleplaying skill will determine if you get in or not, not your class. I mean that Merfolk mentioned above is in a Reign of Winter Campaign. :P
(Also can't wait for this campaign to start up meself)

That excites me, I really hope that's the case. I've had a Summoner in mind for a while that would be perfect for this. I may even multiclass it a bit, which would further negate the absurd power that the Summoner supposedly has.
Reading up on those posts about boatmurder really got me laughing! I would be greatly intrested in joining this. How is it coming along?
Definitely interested. Have had thoughts of doing something like this for a while.
Love Dwarf Fortress. Have two Vampires locked in rooms in my current fort. One's my Bookkeeper, and the other's my Manager. No need to eat, drink, sleep, or go on break, so they can work 24/7. ;)
If I had a pair of vampires, I'd have both of them constantly extracting Adamantine Strands. Stuff takes forever to extract..
Hey guys, for those interested in playing or modding Dwarf Fortress itself, theres a neat little community project going on in which they are creating the world (and whats in it) from scratch.
So far it looks like Halflings will be replacing Dwarves, though I hope to introduce a playable enemy race to the Halflings - Vegipygmies! >:D

This is madness. I approve.
If this is still a go, I will throw my axe at this keg.
This is intriguing! I would love to play as well. I will definitely be keeping my out out for the recruitment thread.
Dwarf Rogue possibly.
An all Dwarf team sounds amazing, I have never heard of Dwarf Fortress though. I have a Dwarven Paladin in mind that I have had for ages, that I would love to finally play.
I will keep my eyes open on this, to see when the recruitment actually starts.
Faelar, if you haven't heard of Dwarf Fortress, check the links in the original post, especially the Boatmurdered one. It'll teach you everything you need to know about the game's insanity.
Crustypeanut, I shall do that now. Thank-you :)
Right I have just read a couple of the links to the Dwarf Fortress and all I have to say about it is this, It looks very confusing to get the hang of, but it also sounds very appealing. When everyone said it was insane I didn't even think it could be that insane, but I think I am just overwhelmed with the "maps". I am even more curious to see how a campaign based on that would be done, but it looks like my Paladin fits in this campaign even better than I thought.
