Check out Boatmurdered for a look at how a dwarven fortress spirals into amazing and beautiful chaos: https://lparchive.org/Dwarf-Fortress-Boatmurdered/Introducti...

That version is very, very old however and doesn't reflect current gameplay style or mechanics, however the stories still unfold pretty much the same way.

For me, Roomcarnage is one of the best Dwarf Fortress stories. It's presented as a set of imgur albums, listed here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=139393

It's also a recent enough version, with gameplay similar to the latest ones, and I find the illustrations and writing style to make the whole thing very enjoyable. It might still get updated in the future, though the pace of updates has now slowed down considerably.

Given the most recent update, it seems pretty certain the next one will be the last... but I am quite curious about it.

I'm not up on DF's internals, and basic Googling doesn't really clarify to an outsider - what's so big with the current update, and why would it make the next one a final release?

I think they’re talking about Roomcarnage updates, not DF updates.
