''(Yeah, I'm planning a tutorial. I find Dwarf Fortress' current tutorials either hard to follow or just plain old. What really needs to be done is a flash tutorial, but I will call on movies as well as screenshots and charts as visual aids. If you find something amiss, plant it on the Talk page.)''

== An Introduction to Dwarf Fortress ==
Here are some short but very important things to know about DF before you start.

== Notes about this tutorial in progress ==
The tutorial will divide everything into clean parts. The parts will be determined by their skippability. You can skip a section on world design, choosing a plot, or building machines, for example (user has already done this, does not wish to tackle it yet, etc)

Section names will be short phrases, ending in ! if it is important!
