King Cacame and the Colossus
Here’s some more fiction I wrote about the elven king of dwarves, Cacame, from the awesome game Dwarf Fortress. One of the popular “pass times” in DF is to build megaprojects. These are exactly as they sound. Giant constructions that often serve no practical purpose other than to be giant and unwieldy. Some typical megaprojects include damming rivers and turning them into giant reservoirs, creating orbital magma cannons (that wind up killing just as many dwarves as invaders), huge gates, and even simplistic adding machines activated by levers. I decided to do something slightly different. And then write about it.

A sorta short one because of business. But I still think it’s good and whatnot.

Cacame vs the dragon
Ok, so I’ve been playing this game called Dwarf Fortress recently. It’s an interesting game. Technically, it’s still in an Alpha stage, but it’s being developed essentially by one guy all by himself. It’s not a graphic juggernaut (the standard interface uses ASCII characters to represent virtually everything, so it looks a lot like NetHack or something that was developed in the early 80s), but it has an amazing depth to it. You can read more about it on Wikipedia.
In my most recent fort, something weird happened. My parent civilization happened to be at war with an elf civilization. Early on, my fort discovered mithril deposits. Normally, discovering this (or adamantine) causes the dwarf king to come and set up his home in your fort. Only when mine showed up, it was an elf.

Pathways: Descent
Hey, I’m back. I think I missed last week. I can’t recall why. A mind numbing confluence of the GI Joe movie, friends demanding I spend time with them, work, and other things conspired against me, I think. But I think it did me some good, as a brief breather gave me the energhttp://homebasecomics.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=153&message=6#post_namey to turn out what I think is the best part of this story to date. Here it is!
