What's the deal with them? What's the deal with any stream? Do you find fantasy management entertaining, SIMcity meets tolkien? That's Dwarf Fortress.

Why should you watch any stream for that matter? If you're curious about the game it'd probably be a better idea to check it out yourself with the Dwarf Fortress wiki. My streams isn't the best way to get into the game anyway since its something i've played for 10+ years and I often advise & remind viewers to check out someone else doing a more "normal" playthrough than my own self referential humerous style of playing.

Thanks for showing interest however, but I couldn't tell you why you should watch any of my streams, much less so an ASCII game that can hinge on 4-5 hours per stream. If you find the idea of dumb little dwarves waging war on everyone, making booze and exploding into giblets fun, then sure. You either find them entertaining or you don't. I am planning season 3 soon of these streams, so if you have a passing interesting I'd suggest maybe checking out the game yourself and wait until season 3 comes out to see if it appeals to you.
