So me and a friend made rules for a (albiet very basic) tabletop compatible version of Dwarf Fortress.
I have the map made out, but the game is, you play as a Dwarf explorer. I would play as a GM.
The majority of roleplaying will be for you, I only enact events, GMPC, NPCs, and the like.

Random events (rolled every week) are used to add even more Fun than what you'd normally get!
Nothing Happens-[i]nothing out of the ordinary occurs[/i]
Heavy Rains-[i] even more rain falls, and it can quickly kill certain crops, and cause natural disasters like floods or mudslides.[/i]
Eruption-[i]pockets of underground gasses erupt.[/i]
Goblin Raid-[i] goblins sweep through the land, raiding small villages and the like.[/i]
Megabeast found-[i] scouts or allies have found a nearby Megabeast. There are three so far. There is the Roc, a giant bird that can carry off livestock(or a dwarf if you are not careful), the Dragon, a large, firebreathing monster, and the Bronze Colossus, which is very hard to kill.[/i]
Elf Raid(only after elves send diplomats to you)-[i] elf raids are not common, but are always swift and brutal.[/i]
Natural disaster-[i] tidal waves, meteor, volcano, earthquake, and extreme thunderstorm[/i]
Plague-[i] Various diseases, which are hard to cure.[/i]
Zombie Plague-[i] when a plague is marked with a "Z", it has a sixty percent chance to reanimate the corpse into a bloodthirsty zombie.[/i]
War starts-[i] a war between any of the races will start, doesn't directly affect you instantly.(Human vs. Elves, Human vs. Human, Kobold vs.Goblin, etc.)[/i]
Greater Threat found-[i] A Greater Threat is found.[/i]
The greater threats are as follows.
Forgotten beasts- [i] these monsters are quite large, and no two are alike, except that they are all underground, and they all crave Dwarf flesh[/i]
Demons(only after unsealing a gate to Hell)-[i] Monsters that carry plague, and are nigh unstoppable.[/i]
Titans-[i] above ground Forgotten Beasts, less strong due to exposure to the sun, but no less destructive.[/i]
Night Creatures-[i] Like boogeymen, but they steal anyone from a civilized nation.[/i]

Other creatures, like animals, or minor beasts, will be shown when you find one.
