I haven't got the Steam release yet but to those who are new to the game, I hope you all stick around.
Watch Sseth's video and find your own fun. I'm learning to love losing again. And the best thing about DF is that even if you lose, the world still exists and you can come back to it from a different perspective... It's even possible to raid your old base.
DF had undercover themes of communal living as well as reincarnation. I hope you find it uniquely enrapturing and it serves you for years to come.
