That said, we had a wonderful time talking all about mods.

Note: The mid-rolls were generated by Chat GPT based on information about my new fortress and me prompting it to rephrase that info in Tolkien style. For example:
rephrase in epic tolkien style:
Urist Quakeprestige is Militia Commander of Newtower. He is an adequate Macedwarf who feels that “You can always rely on your family withen everything else falls away”. Urist disdains self control, is frail, and quick to despair.
Urist is close friends with chief medical dwarf Mebzuth Budsabre – a hateful quarreler who values power. Mebsuth is a competent diagnostician, and an adequate surgeon, bone doctor and suturer. Mebsuth declares “I am well”.
Mebsuth’s friend Minkot Fencedfountain is patient, resilient, and has good focus. These traits make her an ideal fortress manager, which she will surely accomplish while also being the fortresses most competent cook. “An artisan, their materials and the tools to shape them” exclaims the 70 year old manager dwarf.
These seven dwarves are renowned as the elders of Newtower of Showing. Praise them with great praise.
This week we focus on our three fortresses we are currently running. We didn’t plan to do so, but that’s the way it shook out. Thanks everyone for listening!

Sorry it took us so long to get back - but we're finally here, ready to talk all about the PAX West 2022 Dwarf Fortress Demo.
https://youtu.be/uE-FCtGdwMI
Greetings folks, Jonathan here - hope everything's going well for you.
I know that we'd planned to do an episode detailing advanced world generation this time around, but as things worked out… we've not done that.
Instead, we're starting our summer hiatus a bit earlier than planned - which feels about right - seems this first half of the 2022 season has had a lot of hiccups and delays. We take these breaks twice a year to make sure the show doesn't turn into a job - Dwarf Fortress Roundtable is a hobby for us and we love doing it, but there is definitely work that goes on behind the scenes - and taking time off a couple times a year helps make sure it doesn't turn into drudgery.
In any case, we'll be back in September and we'll definitely do that advanced world generation episode within the first couple episodes. - unless of course we have a new release to cover, in which case we'll play it by ear.
As usual, we'll be suspending our Patreon donations while we're in our dormant state - and I'd like to thank all our patrons for their continued financial support - When we do the fake ad reads during the episodes and say "This segment of Dwarf Fortress Roundatable is made possible by…" - those patreon donations absolutely make the podcast possible - so thank you so much.
Also, We'd like to extend our warm thanks to all of you out there that download and listen to each episode. We had no idea that we'd get through 70 episodes when we started this thing - and our listenership has been growing steadily the whole time. Thank you so much and we look forward to doing this for the long haul.
So everybody have a good remainder of your northern hemisphere summer and southern hemisphere winter, and we'll talk to you again in September. Happy Fortressing everyone.
Thanks to Tarn for sharing all those stories of Scamps' rambunctiousness on the Dwarf Fortress Talk podcast. Sounds like he was a cat Urist would really have admired.
This episode, we discuss the tragic end of Hatchetromances, and spend some time talking about the June Future of the Fortress post.

This episode follows up a few threads from previous episodes. And we also cover some listener email and comments. It's a bit shorter (and a bit more chaotic) than usual because due to scheduling issues, we recorded two episodes on the same day. Another consequence of this is that there will be no live-stream next week. But we should be back for another livestream recording on July 11th.

This is more than a game. It's a hobby, and every thriving hobby has passionate people who drive camaraderie and innovation. Well, Dwarf Fortress certainly has that, and we thank the community for accepting us as graciously as it has. Everyone have a safe remainder of 2020. We'll see you in a couple months!

Today we deep-dive into a new tool designed to make visualization mods easy to create. Ralph joins the gang to tell us all about Dwarf Fortress Storyteller. It's an API that makes it easy to access DF Legends data and present that to the user.

We are back after taking a break and are happy to introduce a new segment: Community Conversations. Our featured image was drawn by Kruggsmash (see link in show notes) for our guest Jack, and he generously shared the image with the community. Also, Roland wasn't able to make it today, so it's just Jonathan and Tony hosting this episode. Enjoy!

In these trying times, you can count on the gang at Dwarf Fortress Roundtable to recommend that real-life based mayhem be introduced into the game. Could dwarves socially or physically distance themselves?
