"I'm also REFUSING to use outside help, as that just feels like cheating."
Then the game will be more trouble for you then it is worth.

I tried to jump in without consulting a guide, and almost had an aneurism. I now slur my words and limp to the left. Thank you Dwarf Fortress!
Also, think about installing a Graphics Pack. Eye-Rape and Insane learning curve aside though, DF is awesome.

What Tewdee and Chooly said. For the sake of your own sanity, at least read a beginner's guide of some sort.
At least give the wiki a shot. As said, going in there blind is insane.
And it won't feel like cheating. It will be a freakin' challenge, trust me.

The only time I tried Dwarf Fortress, I created an elf adventurer, wandered around for a bit, looked at some things, then proceeded to get mauled by 3 wolves. I believe the situation went something like:
You hit the female wolf on the head.
Female wolf grabs you in her mouth and shakes you viciously.
You vomit.
You vomit.
You hit the female wolf on the head.
Male wolf bites at your leg.
You are bleeding.
You vomit.
You miss the Male wolf.
Male wolf2 leaps onto your face and thrashes.
You vomit.
You vomit.
You are lacerated.
You have died.

@Motorobo, I often look back on skills that I gain and go "How the hell was I NOT able to do this." and lose the benefit of understanding how my own process of understanding works (Terrible sentence). This is just me documenting it so I can learn something from it. Although, I'm leaving for college in like, a week or so, so this may hibernate if any of you are actually looking forward to watching me beat my head against a wall.
