Half a year ago i asked the same question ...
the answer was :

... and indeed, it was the best thing to do.
Just start a new thread ... name your game, choose a map and an age and wait for the players to sign in ( the game will be full in ~ 1 week )

... that's how my first game thread looked like.

http://www.llamaserver.net/createGame.cgi ... this is the 'llamaserver create game site' ... here you have e.x. thumbnails of avaible maps and a list of the usable mods ( i would suggest a cbm or vanilla game)

Feel free to ask if you have another question

edit: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showp...19&postcount=5 ... link to the llamaserver 'Guidance on creating a new game' ... should read this first

^Lol, I tried DF for a little bit, but it was WAY to abstract and esoteric for me.

Yeah the ascii nature appeals to me, depth of options and interaction of objects is pretty interesting.

Hope you get a newbie game up and running I will probably join it, it will be nice to play in a game where I have a similar level of MP experience as the other players

Thanks for introducing me to Dwarf Fortress, Tifone. Looks like I'm going to have a use for Windows XP again.
I'm a former Angband (and variants thereof: *band) addict, and so this looks like it might be my cup of tea. Also, used to play a lot of BBS games, and so seeing a DOS 8-bit character set in use brings back fond memories as well.

Back to the thread topic... Regarding a MP game for newbs, I might be willing to join in. Right now, I'm in the early stages of a SP game where I'm sandwiched in by giant nations played by Mighty AI's. If I can gain clear superiority over them by the time you're ready to start a game, I'll probably want in as EA Arco - assuming an EA or all ages game. My preference would be for a vanilla game, but I would be amenable to something like the Worthy Heroes mod. It sounds like CBM is good stuff, but I'm not ready to play with that yet.

The funny thing in all this is that I've never played DF myself Not had time to learn it yet
