Possible photo

One of the things that is still left is to fetch a photo of him, request anyone interested to take up the job. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 13:50, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Found a good picture on Flickr with an appropriate license, will crop and add momentarily. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)^[1] 00:16, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Might be time for a bit of an update

The whole thing of Tarn living poor out of love of the game is a little redundant, after the steam launch made him and Zach instant (multi)millionares. There has been a bunch of writing , and a couple of documentary/videos and numerous interviews where the brothers discuss how the steam launch transformed their lives, and the game, so I think it might be good to see someone with better writing researching skills than myself update the article to reflect the new reality of the brothers life a little more. 103.94.51.49 (talk) 06:09, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Move to "Tarn and Zach Adams"?

It's a little surprising at first that we have an article for Tarn Adams but not his brother Zach, considering that they generally work together as a duo (at least on Dwarf Fortress, which is the main thing). It seems that Tarn has done more media stuff without Zach than vice versa (which explains the current state of things), but in general they're often mentioned as a pair, and even significant parts of this article talk about the two of them collectively. There is also precedence for a sibling creative duo having a shared article - The Wachowskis!

Not starting a proper move request yet because I haven't looked too deeply into sources (maybe there really is so much more about Tarn specifically?) or what policy is around this kind of joint biography. But if anyone else reckons this is a good idea feel free to go for it. twotwos (talk) 13:01, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
