Some of the effort that folks have put into recording their dwarf fortress experiences, and captureing that special something that emerges out of the game is wonderful.

I humbly also submit the illustrated stories of Bronzemurder and Oilfurnace https://www.olddog.games/Oilfurnace https://www.olddog.games/Bronzemurder

and the story of Glasedcoast https://glazedcoast.neocities.org/

Love to hear of more. Even if im not actively playing, i always love a read.
