[DF] A bit of help with fortresses, their design, and capture.

Properly done, these things are a great treasure sink ... and if the PCs get too rich despite that, have the king invite himself around and spend all their money for them.

It's authentic.

I'm surprised with the popularity of Dungeon Fantasy that castle/fortress design hasn't been covered yet. Still, if you like crunch, these non-canon rules by Matt Riggsby might help with their construction. Apologies if it's already been mentioned.

Isn't really outside the purview of DF? It's supposed to be about Murder Hobos not Murder Homeowners.

Shouldn't it be Murderer-Hobos? (With a blunderbuss where appropriate.)

It all depends of having a competent author with the willingness of writing a DF sourcebook covering that.

When traditional Murder Hobos had committed enough murders, they were upgraded to Murder Homeowners with followers who were mostly useless at anything but getting murdered.

In AD&D, sure, but DF is not GURPS AD&D. In Diablo or Nethack you never become a Murder Homeowner. But really I just wanted to type "Murder Homeowner".
