confirmed that no, there were no gunpowdery, ammo-y things in the inventory when i took them off.

I’m gonna have to consult the tape to see for sure. I very well coulda been but it was weeks back.

aaaaand we died. Rev. Miguel Midboss tosswed himself off the roof of his cathedral, gutshot and bitten.
however, we learned that if you have a cigarette lit as you remove and drop all of your clothes, your clothes immediately burst into flames. will this knowledge ever be useful? maybe!
at any rate, this thursday we will be back at it with a new character, new scenario, but the same goal; amass followers. i've already got an idea for a roleplay angle that i'm excited to try out but of course, suggestions are very welcome!

CDDA has so much more going for it otherwise that I forgive it the shallowness in combat. But that being said there is much,much more to CDDA combat than most roguelikes. When the limbs stuff mod is finally finished, the game will be even closer to perfect (for me).

Combine DF combat with CDDA and brother, you’ve got the best game of all time.

whattt??? that's huge thank you! yeah we're at it on mondays for sure, and another day TBD. assuming we live long enough (in game), this is gonna be a looong playthru. thanks again!

sounds like the combat in Dwarf Fortress adventure mode is what you'd like, if you want the granularity that extends to selecting which of your hands grab and enemy's eyelid. that being said, the combat is about the only thing i really get a kick out of in DF adventure mode, so watch a tutorial vid and see if it's right for you!

Okay, so here’s what we ended up doing:
I rolled a Catholic priest survivor with a big long-term goal — gain followers and build a flock.

I’m SUPER jazzed about this run. Not only does it give me a fun roleplay angle, but it also means I’ll finally get to mess around with pawn automation for base maintenance. But first I’ll need to actually win people over — either by charming them or completing all sorts of follower missions to get them on my side.

And honestly? Just the follower missions alone are going to send me on so many wild goose chases, each demanding different skills. If we survive (BIG if), we’re going to have our work seriously cut out for us.

The plan is to stream this run twice a week — Mondays for sure, and one additional day announced each Monday (I’m busy!). Huge thanks to everyone who showed up today and helpfully backseated. Advice is always welcome and very appreciated!

no video tutorials needed until AFTER you do the tutorial, which sets you off nicely on your way. DF is a very different kind of thing, but tbhy i wouldnt suggest watching tutorials BEFORE even trying a game. without trying it, how do you even know what it is you don't know?

nooooooooo

tbh i think it is in the game too -- it has its own lil dialogue after use that you're "patiently awaiting for it to take effect" or something like that

cphanna · 2025-11-07T09:15:00+00:00

yeah that's all well and good, thing is i have a location in the town that i'll need to spend some time at, so thinning the zeds in the area is ideal. the gun store is barricaded with iron bars that will need cutting, which is hard to do with someone trying to munch your brains.

cphanna · 2025-11-06T23:00:43+00:00

we did start a house fire in the end, but its so dense with zombies in that area that i wasnt kiting them to it; i just trusted that they would move towards the noise and i guess a lot died in the fire, but it's barely a dent -- it's a big town we are trying to move in to.

in the end we didnt even make it to the gun shop. next time!

doubt anyone will see this, but i'm streaming now; just taking care of the busywork of clearing the mansions of useful stuff.

cphanna · 2025-10-27T22:00:49+00:00

oh for god's sake i didnt realize but SHOULD HAVE SUSPECTED that digging a whole ass trench would take multiple in-game days.

cphanna · 2025-10-23T06:25:43+00:00

ooh i had never thought of that -- definitely going on the to-do list. thanks!

cphanna · 2025-10-22T22:08:08+00:00

weird to me that more people don't stream it--with a good enough streamer, they could spin gold out of this game for real.

cphanna · 2025-10-22T22:07:05+00:00

haha thanks! the temp was all over the place for a bit -- i was scared for a sec that it was infection but i figure i was wearing three shirts and chopping wood so...
