This here thread will be used to pimp a neat little game that is, honestly speaking, the best fucking game to ever graze any electronical device.

For those who are wondering what the title means: That is a randomly generated name that was once given to a goblin lair in the game. Aside from such vocabular hilarities you can expect to meet in this game, in no articular order: Dwarves, drunken dwarves, lots of booze, Elephants, magma, lots of flames, floods, magma floods, horror and death, usually in hilarious ways. (In case there are any geology nerds here, also 200 different kinds of minerals to dig through and put to use.)

For those who are wondering why this is relevant here: First off, this game is played by quite a few denizens of the official irc channel that can be reached through the links on the side. Secondly, it contains a massive variety of hybrids, like snakemen, frogmen, snailmen and others.

For those who are wondering why i wish to pimp it: It is a game that has gone through years of development time, is still in beta-phase, being programmed by a math professor who was able to give up his job and live completely from donations of players, and, it is **free**, you can just download it from his website for no charge and he plans to keep it that way.

To whet your appetite a bit more, read on about the feature-list of this game: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/features.html

If you decide to take on the charge of 7 dwarves and lead them to creating a fortress that will be known in rich splendor, or fiery doom, use this thread to share your crazy finds or to ask questions like "OMG, how do i build a farm without drowning all my dwarves?!"
