I'm migrating here from Reddit, and one of my favorites subs was always /r/DwarfFortress. Since that doesn't exist here yet, I'm going ahead and creating it! We'll kick off with a classic question: How long have you been playing Dwarf Fortress for? I started back in 2008, and I always come back to this wonderful game! It's been a heck of a ride watching the progress of this amazing game. It's always felt like the game I always wanted to play. How about you?

I have played 0 hours but I will follow this magazine because I do want to play someday lol. Love Rimworld and I know that was inspired by Dwarf Fortress so I'll probably hop on eventually.

@TabbyCat With the Steam version, it's never been easier to get started, since there's the improved official tileset, the MUCH improved UI, and I believe even starting tutorials (which I skipped because I've been playing FOREVER). If you can afford the coin, I'd say go for it! :)

I'll make sure to buy it sometime this year. Looks like a lot of fun, I just have other things to buy first.

If adventure mode is out for the steam version when you get around to it then that might be an ideal entry point

@nanoobot I'm excited to see adventure mode, hopefully it gets some performance gains. It's always fun to find your old forts in it.
