I was going to run Shadowrun for my group, but they decided to chicken out and go back to Pathfinder (kill me now).

So, I'm going to have fun with this. How would one replicate the feel of Dwarf Fortress in Pathfinder? I'm not saying mechanics (that would just be Kingmaker on a smaller scale), but the kind of weirdness that happens with forgotten beasts and such. Kind of a primeval "Age of Legends" thing.

lots of long, strange random tables to roll on.
fuck, why not even have a table for not!forgotten beasts aswell, and roll three times on it for a unique mishmash.

i think the key to capturing it is to make it feel -almost- real, but with some sort of "dissonance" to the world, along with an almost whimsical feeling

if you can get your players to rise their eyebrows at everything in slight confusion, yet have them go along with it, then i would probably say that you've succeeded

What kind of tables would be necessary? Maybe a forgotten beast generator, a colossus generator, wereanimals, night creatures, demons. What else?

If you're going to be true to DF, you'll need to kill a lot of PCs.

That's a given.

Anyway, for FBs, maybe a d100 table of animals, then a d100 Rogue-Trader style mutations table?

you can always tell them that you are not going to run Pathfinder. If they want to run it, have someone else do it.
