The story of Boatmurdered[0] has given me a good go-to seed for other games with procedural generation. It's well worth the read if you have an afternoon.

Boatmurdered is representative of a very old version of the game.

For more modern DF storytelling I would encourage you to check out Kruggsmash on YouTube, in particular his Scorchfountain series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXX7Rp0iXj0l998LmVC6xIRHj...

Krugg gives due reverence to the generated descriptions of his dwarves and their world and incorporates them into his emergent storytelling and illustration in a very elegant way.
