Tarn,

In my nth fortress (I've been playing about 2 weeks), I dug a little too deep and opened up a cavern on my original 7. In order to save the fort, I had to seal one dwarf in, using a sphalerite wall, who then got killed by troglodytes.

Five years later, I just had a dwarf get possessed and make a sphalerite door. Oh, woop-de-doo. Then I read the description..

"On the item is an image of Stukos Pickbrushes the dwarf and Searchpaddle the troglodyte in sphalerite. Searchpaddle the troglodyte is striking down Stukos Pickbrushes. The artwork relates to the killing of the ghostly dwarf Stukos Pickbrushes by the troglodyte Searchpaddle in Palacebold in the late spring of 128."

Like.. damn I don't even know how that works. Did the ghost come back and tell his story and the name of the troglodyte? Anyway, the point is, the depth and history is really amazing and something that should be praised.

Also, I love reading the battle logs.. I played a copious amount of Gemstone in my day, and in that text-based fantasy world there was a similar combat system (to generalize terribly).

Amazing work, sir, I thank you.

Hi /u/scottkeyes thanks for the shout-out! I am LITERALLY on Bologna right now after scoring a $230 nonstop flight JFK-> Milan.

AND I snagged that mistake to Serbia! "why Serbia? For $190, why not?!"

Are you a white male? I would assume yes but just have to be sure.

not OP but I am WSET level 3. Getting to this point is 95% book learnin'. For the WSET level 3, there is a tasting portion, but it is not at all scary. It's not like "drink this and tell me what it is, all or nothing." You go through the look, smell, taste, and notes about the wine, and then like 2pts out of the 30pts possible is "is this wine a,b, or c?"

Soo, yes, it's not difficult if you study, I don't think. The first level is a multi-choice test.
