Cincinnati 2600

This Friday, Justin Sovine (xio2) will be casually presenting an introduction to Dwarf Fortress. Including but not limited to:

• Downloading and installing the game
• Modifying the game configuration (including tilesets and graphics packs)
• Generating a new world and finding your first embark site
• A basic overview of embark profiles (starting skills & items)
• Understanding the graphics and user interface
• Your first in-game year: what to do, what to expect, and why you’re probably going to die.
• Explain the DF premise that “losing is Fun”
• Short, interesting stories and artwork from forts found on the internet
• Resources and community

Here’s the game for anyone interested ahead of time: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/

we have a projector, wifi, some switches, some arcade games, and a 66 block, so even if no one has a presentation, we can have fun anyhow. BYOB and we can order pizza or something.
