Dwarf Fortress RPG

Fairly simple, unless you want to handle the minutiae of crafting. See, in DF, a big deal is how item quality is multiplied by material value etc etc., leading to some fearsomely valuable items, whereas in most games its usually just a minor thing for non combat items. So no system's really gonna be ideal.

You can do anything from a regular D&D game with a few wilderness maps and dungeon levels to defend all in one area, saving a massive time, to a slightly tweaked Birthright (probably use Battlesystem instead of the normal card system) for its use of somewhat generic dragons and goblins instead of multiple kinds of each (but with more variety in each) and have them run a few provinces, underground or otherwise, to, of course, some other RPG.

I imagine it would be some weird fantasy version of Rogue Trader.

Would be easier to do an adventurer mode game using GURPS.

>>52857703
I'm afraid that such a game would not be very fun in the long run. You will probably either skip too much everyday stuff, or not skip enough.

>>52857703
Fortress mode would probably be difficult to do, because it only really works in a virtual setting, but adventure mode is easy to do. Just pick your favorite flavor of brutal medieval combat RPGs (Riddle of Steel, Song of Swords, GURPS etc.) and just go along from there.

The short answer is yes, use GURPS.

The long answer is yes, use GURPS. A couple of anons and I tooled around with the idea on a Discord Server once. The idea was to have players all start out as a small caravan of dwarves, then we'd template each of the jobs into statblocks that are easy to swap in and out of. The game would start out straight survival with Starvation, Dehydration, and other survival bits and pieces being the immediate thread. As the for develops, the tone of the game shifts from Survival to Economic Management, to Legendary Combat and Mining, to Political intrigue.

Our goal was to create a Dwarf Fortress supplement for GURPS that was so simple and progressed smoothly enough that it was basically a great introductory module to GURPS that would expand out as needed.

This. GURPS is perfect for DF's sheer autism. Even in Fortress Mode you have rules for everything from militia management, base building, delegated positions, to crop rotation. If games like Pendragon work out, then you can surely make fortress management a good experience.

There is also ACKS which can satisfy you in a lighter yet no less thorough manner.

desu all you're listing doesn't make it sound simple or smooth.

>>52857909
You mean a series, along the lines of Monster Hunters, Dungeon Fantasy, ect? That could work, with each iteration being focused on a different stage.

OR... It's a brilliantly modified version of Fiasco or Don't Rest Your Head.

The idea was you'd start small. Survival and Crafting rules only, with some combat. Players work together as a group to build up their fort. Then you add more rules as time goes on, advancing the game to have more dimensions. The idea was learning bare minimum GURPS, Playing it, then adding new rules and features as needed.

Would this system include DF monsters and its creation.
Forgotten Beasts and similar used in RPG sound interesting, as GM rolling for all those stats and geting amusing results.
