Hey folks! So you can probably tell this isn’t the correct thread and the correct format: Our intrepid leader @PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net appears to be indisposed, so in the interim I figured we could still talk about the game, how it’s going on our own worlds, and also (potentially) what to do if the expedition leader still has not been seen in a week or something. Anyone who has thoughts about that can start that discussion if you see fit.

Pings for Enrolled Players

Players: @Moonworm@hexbear.net, @Doubledee@hexbear.net, @gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net, @booty@hexbear.net, @context@hexbear.net, @Oreb@hexbear.net, @Infamousblt@hexbear.net

Below, I’m going to make a little happy post about my solo world. I’d love to talk about the game with anyone interested in joining the rotation, anyone new who has questions, anyone who is curious about mechanics, good world settings, embark prep etc. and I hope other people will also post their stories and forts as well. But of course, no pressure. Everyone’s welcome!

    Was the duchess the same person as the queen? Or was it a separate person? Theoretically if the queen somehow disappeared or died and her successor was not at the fort I guess it’s possible that someone else inherited the post? I’ve never heard of such a thing happening though.

      The duchess was my leader before the queen arrived. The weird thing is if the queen died she should still have been assigned to her tomb. It’s like she ran away from the responsibility of being the monarch and snuck off to go live with the local elves or something.

        Yeah that’s the mysterious part. In legends you could see if there was a way she died that eliminated her body somehow. You could try carving a memorial to her and see if it reveals anything if that’s too much trouble. If I was guessing that would be my hunch, maybe she got crushed by a drawbridge or fell in magma or something.

          Okay, yeah, it took me a bit of investigation in legends mode but apparently she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was killed by a green glass humanoid forgotten beast, using a… copper ring. I have no idea why she didn’t keep her tomb assignment. Or why this random militia commander from a recently founded Dwarven hillocks became king when she died.
