Got a link for that?Heck, at that point, I'd say let's roll in the omake scenario somebody did where Snorri from Rhunrikki Strollar got dropped in DL. WHFQuest Avengers, assemble!

Honestly, I just can't wait to get the headpats. Like, all the headpats. Even Thorgrim wants to give us headpats, if we can stop accidentally dodging around him. High King headpats are the best.

Eh. I'm not sure Mathilde will appreciate them much.
- They'll be full of wounded Dwarf pride (which tends to insult humans)
- They'll either be incredibly tedious (see the entire K8P campaign being told in detail, every tiny Grudge being read out) or extremely curt
- And of course Mathilde isn't super happy with Thorgrim, and he mostly brings up bad memories

Well yes... but then she gets to smug at him on behalf of Belegar. Since, you know, it's partially his fault she was even there.

This would certainly not be the first fanfiction of a fanfiction that I followed. I'll read it if you make it, at least to start. A path not taken is always an interesting option.

My thinking's actually the opposite - I wouldn't have to worry so much about the quality of my writing because it's fanfiction which means it gets the fanfiction "acceptable writing quality downgrade". (Only once, unlike most recursive fan-fic because BoneyM isn't using their leeway, they're writing professional-level stuff.)
It'd also be a quest which come with their own extra leeway, although they have different requirements.
The only reason I could write the omakes is because of the fanfic downgrade rule - I write for a living, self-employed because of neurological health issues, and have been having panic attacks when I try and do pro-quality work recently.
EDIT: If not this one I might finally do one of my other quest ideas. But they're very much off-topic

Belegar headpats are why I get up in the morning. Kragg headpats, too. Just inject that straight into my veins.
Thorgrim's headpats for Vlag are only a minor plus in my book, but he owes us Okral headpats too. We had the Protector on for that little adventure too, you may recall (retroactively, but still).

I miss Wildstar...
By arriving after that had already happened. Late Arrival means arriving at the point we transported the box to K8P, which only became possible once we had a home to transport it to - and that home was the penthouse of Karag Nar, the reclamation of which included that whole Mork Mugging incident.
Alkaline being forwarned is indeed a problem, so we'll need to find another way to get rid of him and his college, but as long the effects of his awareness don't propagate too far outside Stirland/Sylvania, the Butterfly Slaying and Strings of Fate picks should keep him from derailing the Caldera victory.
The only point of danger to the Caldera victory I can think of is that Emissary from the Council of Thirteen, and since he didn't see Mathilde when she killed him, he won't know what, specifically, he needs to be extra paranoid about. Best case is he just doesn't show up. Worst case... well, I think I remember a post from Boney saying he rolled for exactly who that Eshin sorcerer was heading off to meet, and a Verminlord was one of the options.
All that said, if you do turn this into an actual recursive quest instead of just quest-formatted recursive fanfic that maybe takes some inspiration from thread feedback, I think it'd be better off in a thread of its own where the tally feature can be used for real.

Only if it gets to the point where a new thread is actually created for it with the purpose of doing something with it. As of now it isn't much crazier than some other tangential thread madness has been.
Edit: Oh, voting is still open. Didn't even notice. I guess then arguments can be made to cool it down.
pretty sure Warhammer is largely still in the Animal-skin Parchment stage, and dwarfs aren't known for being quick adopters of new tech.

Still at that "carving into stone tablets" stage then. After all, as long as it still works...
jokes aside, as shown by 'how to make everything' (been bing watching) tablets are shit at their job, so dwarfs probably are using animal skin.

It's not impossible they hooked up with a Cathayan paper-maker a couple thousand years back.
They aren't quick adopters, but they also take pride in have the best x around.

Paper is cheaper, is it the BEST though? If vellum is slightly better but 100X more expensive, I'd kind of expect dwarves to still use vellum.

It'll probably depend on "how long will it exist?", considering dwarf lifespans (and thinking). How long does early-tech paper last before crumbling away as opposed to contemporary vellum?
@BoneyM How would you feel about me attempting to turn the Broken Mirror omake into a recursive fanfiction quest? Following the journeys of a Mathilde Peggy Sued from right about now.
All personality disparities would be blamed on damage from the Wisdom Asp, and all continuity errors blamed on Tzeentch messing with the past.
Go for it.
It's an oft-debated topic but necessity usually requires they default to parchment, as papyrus requires a tropical environment or trade access to it, whereas parchment just requires animal hides. Modern wood-pulp paper is only available from Cathayan import, though the Carpenters and Runescribes Guilds are engaged in a lot of very long-term experiments with it to see if the papermaking techniques they've been able to reverse-engineer can produce something that can last indefinitely, and if so, what conditions and resources it requires.

Acid Paper is going to piss them off soo badly.
Even now good quality acid free paper "only" lasts around 1000 years. Average quality around 500. They very well may decide that the former only barely makes the cut. After all what good is paper records if you have to recopy everything every few generations?

Something I've been thinking about:
Did we kind of give poor Egrimm a midlife crisis?
I mean, he was pressured/sent into the Chaos Wastes by his Patriarch, to essentially be under the command of a Grey Wizard Lady Magister, the college of magical secret-police and skullduggery, and...
She turns out to be a near perfect boss. Friendly, collaborative, organized, adept at both fighting and diplomacy, well versed in magic and good at talking about it, and when he asked at the beginning for the personal leeway to manage the younger Lights on his own, she gave it to him without even once looking over his shoulder to check his work. Until he brought up his concerns to her about one of them, at which point she didn't go all Inquisition! on the poor guy, but rather took the young journeyman aside and conducted a completely noninvasive interrogation that left everyone involved feeling better about themselves with zero lingering resentment.
I get this feeling like he's going to end up staring into a drink at some point wondering HOW did I end up joining the WRONG FREAKING COLLEGE?!
