Kodex Kommunistic Kastle. Fortress. Dwarf Fortress.

[Grimwulf]

Nice! I'm down with some kind of fever so a nice vidya LP is just what I need! Which one would you recommend from the dude to start with?

I think the general consensus is Honeystoker to be the best Kruggsmash so far. Personally, I liked Monsterkiller more than anything.

You might wanna start with any of his Short Fort videos, though. Both Honeystoker and Mosterkiller are long series, they are more enjoyable once you get used to the guy and his style. He also does a lot of high-quality art (he draws, his wife color-paints). I wish he was doing text LPs, but they would be harder to monetize, I guess.

Edit: Also, get better. Muh fortress needs General Secretary in good health.

 

[sqeecoo]

Thanks man, Monsterkiller thing is really hitting the spot for me. The guy does a great job of moving along fast and not showing all of the micro in a tedious fashion (something Dominions LPs also suffer from often).

 

[Storyfag]

Man, the guy is seriously talented when it comes to drawing. The 8bit music near the start of Monsterkiller is rad.

 

[Grimwulf]

I'm surprised you never heard of Kruggsmash. Guess you didn't get that reference from the very first update.

I thought you'd never ask. I was working as a cook in Krugg Boarblood's tavern before leaving Plankplunged.

Spoiler

"Boarbloods" was his main squad's name in Honeystoker series.

Makes me wonder how many more references in this LP went over your heads.

I, for one, am a complete newb in regards to DF, if you discount reading the Virgintarded LP here on the 'dex.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

how many more references in this LP went over your heads.

Easy, all of them.

 

[Grimwulf]

Easy, all of them.

I don't mean DF references, I mean references in general. OH, COME ON!

From the top of my head, since I can't be arsed to re-read my own thread:

*kicks Merc again* Y U NO TUUUURN?!

Dammit, Kalin! What do you want from me?!

TURN! TUUUURN! I WANT TUUUUUUUURN!!

A reference to all SMAC threads, SMAC players, and their constant hunger for TURN. I used to be a competitive Dominions player, so I know how it feelz.

My dog is sexually attracted to Merc. You can beat Storyfag all you want, but you can't stop TRUE LOVE!

Bitch, I know TRU LUV, ok?

A reference to Kalin's True Love LP. His best piece of work since Mines of Titan.

And don't even start me on the old Rimworld thread references. I'm honestly trying to prevent myself from doing this, but the URGE is too stronk.

Deadfall traps don't really work against deers.

Depends on the weight and angle. If you apply the force properly--

It's not about force or angle. You simply don't know how clever those manhunting fuckers really are.

We can do spikes. Better yet, dwarven shotguns.

Want to know my idea? Flaming bolts.

Hmm.

Reference to my cunning idea of going deer-hunting with flaming bolts in Season 2. Which resulted in raging fire and almost burning down the colony.

Spoiler

Oh, fuck me. Look alive, Kalin - we got more fires to kill!

FUCK YOU!!

AREN'T YOU ENTERTAINED?!

*voice became higher all of a sudden* Azira.

How do you know my name?

Do you have a sarcophagus yet?

What..? No. Why?

Sad.

A reference to Bliblablubb's disturbing obsession with Azira's sacophagus in Season 2.

Spoiler

At some point I had to put her bed inside his crypt.

Spoiler

Why is she sleeping outside..?

Why indeed, Azira?

Grimwulf? What in nine hells are you doing, Grimwulf?

Not funny. Stop! GRIMWULF, NO!!!

DON'T YOU DARE, GRIM! I WILL HAUNT YOU FOREVER!

There you go, Blibs. Your new home.

How are you feeling, Ryan-- I mean, Friend?

*moans in pain*

*mumbles to himself* Ryan..? Where did that come from?

It came from Season 1.

Spoiler

Damn. You are a mess.

That's a lot of work. I didn't catch your name, friend.

hello friend

Hello to you too! So what's your name?

hello friend

... Yes. Hello. You must be in shock, I guess. I will call you Ryan, how about that? I had a friend named Ryan once. He died during surgery. Hold still...

There's a lot more, but can't be arsed to remember them now. Gotta finish dat update.

Spoiler

And stop referencing my own shit already. Get a goddamn grip.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

I mean, obviously, I don't mean to refer your earlier LPs. Those are not easy to consign to oblivion.

 

[Citizen]

Referencing is . But explaining the references is

 

[Inspectah]

This fortress both repell and attract
What dorf could resist the temptation to take part in building the base upon which the legend shall endure?

(Very moorcockian of you, with the characters living through different universes. The rimworld LPs are the best LPs in this fookin site so shame on those that nevar read them)

 

[a bear named spigot]

I never read the Rimworld LPs

 

[Hace El Oso]

Here is some gud DF art from Kruggsmash (a legend in DF community, although he only does vidya LP), that'll keep you entertained for a while.

Spoiler

Ahh, reminds me of these books:

 

[baud]

Ahh, reminds me of these books:

I remember that book, there was a bunch of cutaways showing a lot of the different part of the castle. Pretty cool.

And regarding the LP, I recognized some of the references, like those to the Rimworld LPs and the SMAC one.

 

[Lithium Flower]

SMACCs baud's firm behind

Recognize this? UwU

Gods above and below! Finally I managed to catch up! See Grim? Toldya I would eventually...
Congratulations my friend, this thing here? It's epic.


Obviously I want to be part of this, are you still accepting volunteers? Looking over the list you posted on p. 36 (if I understand it correctly it should be relatively recent), what can you tell me about dis here dorf:

Still available? Not a citizen? Ded?


Anyway, Kruggsmash is one of my favourite channels ever, and one of the very few I bother being subscribed to.

For those that are new to his channel, here's an

playlist with all his intros:

Although my favourite is still his short fort one:



edit: fuck... how did I miss the CDDA one?

Busy week, but ITZ COMING, dammit! It's a huge update, with many new recruits, and lot of shit going on. Already 100+ pics.

Also, I'm not in my best writing shape due to the lack of alcohol. Again, busy week, not many opportunities to EMPOWER myself for tasteful writing.

The Man himself.

Matalarata was the cause of this thread in the first place. He's the best GM I know, hosted a Call of Chtulhu session for some Codexers on roll20, it's still ongoing (for more than a year now). I am among the lucky few players. I guess Matalarata is my unwilling mentor - he never intended to become one, but I learned from his GM'ing regardless. So if you like the GM part of KKK (key choices, dice roll, reactivity to any player input, including the outright inane ones) - that's him. If you don't like this aspect of KKK, you can also blame him.

what can you tell me about dis here dorf:

You have a sharp eye.



Assigned him to you.

It's been 2 days since OLD NEW YEAR, Grimwulf, it's time to stop drinken. Unless you are planning to drink 'till Kreshenie of course. In that case godspeed to you madman

I cannot help but notice that Vladimir Vladimirovich was influenced by this LP and has given the russian people a few HARD CHOICES in his last update yesterday morning.

The day Russian Trolls(tm) became so influential they not only elect Murica's President and cause global warming, but also bring down Russia's cabinet

Truth be told, with the average competence of ANY government's employees, I would say all Let's Rule <conuntry name> LP's have a high chance of featuring as many fuckups, misunderstandings and plots as this one.
