Damn it, next time I play D&D: Dwarven bard. An older, respectable gentleman, quiet, reserved, content to pluck his lute strings and sing a dirge to mourn glories long forgotten and smoke a nice pipe every now and again (not too often, mustn't burn the gullet).

>Also, the song itself:

The world was young, the mountains green,
No stain yet on the Moon was seen,
No words were laid on stream or stone
When Durin woke and walked alone.
He named the nameless hills and dells;
He drank from yet untasted wells;
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere,
And saw a crown of stars appear,
As gems upon a silver thread,
Above the shadows of his head.
The world was fair, the mountains tall,
In Elder Days before the fall
Of mighty kings in Nargothrond
And Gondolin, who now beyond
The Western Seas have passed away:
The world was fair in Durin's Day.

HOW THE FUCK!?
HOW DID IT TAKE THAT LONG TO HEAR THIS?

>>19500300

A king he was on carven throne
In many-pillared halls of stone
With golden roof and silver floor,
And runes of power upon the door.
The light of sun and star and moon
In shining lamps of crystal hewn
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night
There shone for ever fair and bright.

There hammer on the anvil smote,
There chisel clove, and graver wrote;
There forged was blade, and bound was hilt;
The delver mined, the mason built.
There beryl, pearl, and opal pale,
And metal wrought like fishes' mail,
Buckler and corslet, axe and sword,
And shining spears were laid in hoard.

>>19500314

Unwearied then were Durin's folk;
Beneath the mountains music woke:
The harpers harped, the minstrels sang,
And at the gates the trumpets rang.

The world is grey, the mountains old,
The forge's fire is ashen-cold;
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls:
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls;
The shadow lies upon his tomb
In Moria, in Khazad-dûm.
But still the sunken stars appear
In dark and windless Mirrormere;
There lies his crown in water deep,
Till Durin wakes again from sleep.

I always wanted to play a game of Dorf Fortress set at year 0, aka "play as the first dwarfs ever". But the game's not set to work that way by default. I can figure out how to set the year, but is there any way to mod for the "only dwarves in the world" thing? And your dwarves are the ones who get upgraded to kings, etc, and other dwarf places start developing only after you're established and such.

>>19510398
This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but when Toady adds embark scenarios you will probably be able to found a new civilization like that.

>>19510398
>I can figure out how to set the year
When picking what kind of world you create, Big region, pocket island, etc. edit them. There is destination year there. Set it on 1 or something.

Tis been a good week. Dank, fa/tg/uys.

This thread deserves a sticky'd post
Filled with songs and strings and ghosts
Of things that were, in darkest past,
That may yet be, may come to pass,
When sun and stars and moon burn out
And daemons stir in warp storm clouds.

We read the posts, We bump this thread,
We share our songs to honored dead
And living heroes, who in our place
Wield staff and bow and sword and mace;
Some venture forth to glory's calls
Some end their life in darkened halls.

But we remember, we forget
Not one of them, and here instead
We fill this thread with minstrel song
And epic tales, both short and long
We fight the sage, we ban the troll
We welcome players, role- and roll-,
Until the wheel of time is through
And Durin walks the world anew.

>>19533322
I don't have a lot of digital stuff, but here's the House of the Rising Sun: http://www.guitarchordsmagic.com/guitar-song-chords/house-of-the-rising-sun.html
The easy version there is not too bad for starting out, particularly since this has it written in tab as well as sheet, and also has chord charts if that's easier for you.

Left hand fingering should be whatever's comfortable and whatever you can change from one to the next with easily.
Right hand fingering should have your index finger on the third string, middle on the second string, and ring finger on the first string. Your thumb takes care of whichever of the three low strings the chord uses (although you can mix it up if you want, perhaps plucking 4 instead of 6 one of the times when E is twice in a row).

Please feel free to ask more if this doesn't work for you.
