We are back after taking a break and are happy to introduce a new segment: Community Conversations. Our featured image was drawn by Kruggsmash (see link in show notes) for our guest Jack, and he generously shared the image with the community. Also, Roland wasn’t able to make it today, so it’s just Jonathan and Tony hosting this episode.

Enjoy!

We talk a lot about getting the manager to manage, protecting artifacts, hosting a temple and priest, and archers. We just can’t seem to get away from talking about archers.

In these trying times, you can count on the gang at Dwarf Fortress Roundtable to recommend that real-life based mayhem be introduced into the game. Could dwarves socially or physically distance themselves?
