04/07/2013 Dev Log: Dwarf Fortress and Tarn/Zach Adams profile by the Kitsap Sun

In the localest DF news to date, today's Kitsap Sun (the county paper) will feature a Dwarf Fortress article by Tad Sooter. It's also available online. Amy Phan produced a video online there as well, on the left of the article (or here).

I highly suggest checking the article out. It's surprisingly well written and respectful to both the game and to the Tarn brothers - something which is all too often lacking.
We move back to the kitchen counter and Ringland breaks out a tray of cookies while Tarn and Zach arrange their pencils and crayons. They have about 20 drawings to make for contributors on this night. As usual, the fan requests are specific and obscure. One fan wants a picture of a metallic god he encountered in his game, another insists on the marvelous penguins. 

The brothers have fielded much stranger requests in the past. A fan once asked the Adamses to draw his boss as an ogre whipping him with chains. He planned to hang it in his office

“That was a great picture,” Ringland recalls with a smile
