History Funny / DwarfFortress

* Unlike other main civilizations, Goblins are unable to use pack animals or wagons. This usually doesn't matter in game that much...''unless'' you successfully manage to extort a tribute out of them. Usually, tributes arrive with a caravan and guards much like a trading wagon, but with goblins...it's a ''single unguarded goblin'' carrying the (usually meager) tribute by hand, plopping it down in your trade depot, and then scampering off.

** Also, engravers can occasionally be incredibly uncreative.
-->I had a fortress where roughly 90% of the engravings were of buckets, buckets surrounded by dwarves, and buckets surrounded by screaming dwarves. -

This is a feat that gives even veterans trouble, and it was accomplished by someone decked in ''goose leather'', and was also green enough to be utterly unfamiliar with the {{Fan Nickname}}s used by the fanbase (to the point [[TheLegionsOfHell clowns]] were thought to be literal). The whole tale, already badass on its own, becomes hilarious as well as a result of this.

** Even better, the [[spoiler:demon]] he won was [[spoiler:[[ShaggyDogStory killed by a roc long before he got the slab.]]]]
** And what makes it funnier is that [[spoiler:the roc is also responsible for the deaths of the player's previous adventurers]].

*** Add in the extra letter in the form of Th. The author decided that dwarves probably would have an unique letter for that sound.

Some examples include vitriolic rants against a random town the necro never visited, and books about books about books about themselves, give or take a few layers.
