Search • The Tavern

Hmm yeah I definitely plan on talking to a lawyer as soon as I can scrape together some cash. Coulda sworn that when I read the license way back when that it explicitly said "derivation must be free of charge". But despite being an arts guy I still can't read for shit, lol. If anyone's int...

Hi guys, how's it going. Wanted to run an idea past the tavern -- I might be little late on this. Haven't been on here in years, kinda sad that with the lack of activity. Well, either way, I'm going to make my pitch. When I was in college, I was obsessed with DCSS. Never beat the game, but I still l...

cool stuff.

Inspired by duvessa's spell list thread. Am I the only one that's bothered by some of the inconsistent fluff writing in Crawl? Here's a list I made ranking the different mantras of the gods with some suggestions. CRAP Take it easy. Just no. The title of an Eagles song simply isn't appropriate for a ...

Jesus H Christ, that's unbelievable

Wasn't "Hepliaklqana" meant to be a working/temporary name? Surely someone can come up with something cooler that starts with H or begins with "Hep-"

Lugonu falls from grace

Someone just buff their defensive apts and maybe invo/evo, or whatever. Although having a halfling-specific "luck mutation" that could either benefit or hurt them sounds neat.

Well Duvessa is definitely on to something...the fluff is more than a little incosistent. As far as god names go, Hepliaklqana is crummy for two reasons: one, because it's not well thought out (sorry Grunt), and two, it's the third Aztec-esque name in the pantheon behind Nemelex and Qazlal. Uskayaw ...

Sanctuary! Indeed. 1. Apportation If you can cast any spells you want this spell. Runes can be grabbed even if someone is standing on top of them. 2. Sanctuary (ZIN) Sanctuary defines an area where noone can attack you. If someone is within your Sanctuary (couldn't get out) simply try to 'attack' h...

So I got my first rune from actually playing somewhat skillfully, rather than abusing an OP build and lucking out with unrandarts like last time. My strategy of playing with Ely until the end of Lair made the branch trivial -- honestly there is no greater amusement than pacifying a berserked killer ...

how about... Catastrophic Leap

WIngardium Leviosa = Flight
Verdimillius = Corona, Dazzling Spray, Static Discharge
Imperio = wand of enslavement
Flipendo = Force Lance
Petrification = Petrify
Finite Incantentum = Yara's Violent Unravelling (kinda)
Chair to Cat = ??????

If it's "of the scorpion" then the brand should be venom. I'm assuming the item was meant to refer to the Mortal Kombat character (who has a move where he shoots out a spear and pulls his enemy towards him if it hits), I would still agree that it should have poison on it to avoid confusio...

If I had a time machine I'd go back and slap myself with a rainbow trout while shouting "play better, dammit!"

Great ideas, although for Uska I think a disco dancing competition versus John Travolta (via Grease ) would be more appropriate. Jiyva's ought to involve infiltrating the Jello corporation and liberating the indigenous jellies from their plastic containers/prisons. IJC transports the player to a mon...

I Shot Andy Warhol
N: Way of the Ninja (pgood platformer despite being Canadian)
Super Mario 3: Blue
Caves of Qud
and of course RPG Maker classics like Space Funeral and Yume Nikki.

Agree that it's a neat concept, although I think it's kinda unfair to restrict it only to combat deities. I think if you reworked it to accomadate the rest of the pantheon, but according to contexts that fit each god's flavour, it'd be doubly cool. For example, - Fedhas implores you to defend a sacr...

Do I enjoy playing DCSS...yes I do, in a masochistic kind of way, since it's simultaneously frustrating and challenging without being overly tedious and pedantic (like tabletop rpgs tend to be, ugh). Although at first, it was the casual world-building aspect and funky console aesthetics that really ...

Cheibriados https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO1rMeYnOmM come to think of it, the word "Cheibriados" vaguely sounds like the name of a foreign 75 proof whiskey. When i worship Vehumet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svBfT21MCT8 I'm just imagining a playlist beginning with italo-disco and ...

just off the top of my head, this track.

Is it just me or are berserkers wayyy more fun to play with this blaring in the background?

I too believe that and into is onto something. I'm going to post a little lesson here about how to express an idea on a forum for discussion. Step 1: Post a summary of your idea. Maybe make it grabby. Something like "Faded altars are never a good idea". Step 2: This is critical, even more ...

Mechanics aside (honestly idgaf), this god definitely needs some more flavour. Currently it feels less like a divinity, and more like a slot machine for offensive magic spells. The in-game description is unbelievably bland -- even the name, "Vehumet", vaguely sounds like an old Hebrew cust...

now go back to /v/.

Wow you're soo cool.

Not positive that this post was a joke - this is about reducing tedium (and turncount, I suppose) related to manipulating Vampire satiation levels. Your idea is neat; I'm just busting your chops a lil bit. Personally I believe that vomiting all over the dungeon floor would be a waste -- cutting one...

My crappy idea is, to scale the tiers according to Numchux Okay's piety thingy. 0 - * = plain **-**** = ornate *****-****** = legendary Both the umbra and halo of Dith and TSO respectively scale with piety, why not scale deck power?? decks that scale in power with evocations have randart/legendary d...

How about...monsters that are adjacent to monsters that are right next to the player as he/she/they climb the stairs are 50% likely to follow. i.e.: ######## .......# ..g....# ..gg..,# ...g...# ....@.# ###### @, who has finally reached the stairs, is running from a pack of gnolls. The leading one si...

Does this mean Octopodes can shoot their ink, too? Felids can cough up/shoot furballs now, to make up for the inability to hold projectiles? Mummies can construct origami shuriken from their bandages, huh? What about all the other humanoids? Imo if there's a simian race coming into development, they...

Yo momma so fat, her flatulence is the reason Dithmenos hates fire.

I accidentally a sesh.

Yes exactly! I ought to have said "accommodate ranged combat targetted against the player ." Something along the lines of an ability that'll allow the player to employ quick breakdancing choreography, Sonja-esque acrobating, or some such tango-maneuvering, to get out the line of fire of pr...

We already have Makhleb who does random elemental blasts and random summons. And Nemelex too, for that matter. Do we really need Qazlal to be a third deity who does basically the same thing? >random blasts and summons You forgot TSO... and Yred and Trog, to an extent. Qazlal has a interesting flavo...

How high's your invo? Recite works better the higher you've pumped it: at 5 you can confuse dudes, 10 blind 'em, and 15 or so, smite them dead! Never heard of this "no appreciative audience" business, however. Should've said 'you read from the book of anathema' or something. Damn dev team.

This god of the Ukraine in pretty cool, for sheer melee. If only there was some way to accommodate ranged combat, now that would be legit. Like just now my GhMo was absolutely pummeled by a stone giant's bigrock...if Uk granted some passive ability like parkour backflipping off projectiles and into ...

Where's the vorpal rapier-wielding, boots of speed-wearing felid named Antonio?

Neither can yo momma.

It's about time someone put an end to this hippogracy, ugh.

Fed's concept is just way cooler. The mad god schtick is so overplayed in nerd games.

This is def in the top 5 strangest posts on this whole forum.

It's so cute and innocent.
I'm thinking along the lines of Roger, Linda, maybe even John Lennon.

Great, might as well add a raccoon suit too. That allows you to fly and go statue form (briefly).

Ho man I just LOVE Fedhas on my NaAs and MfIE. Nothing like having a terrorist's arsenal of shroomchums and sporebombs at your disposal to make an epic asspull -- although the piety cutoff is kinda lame, as ^ mentioned. Still, probably in the top 3 for concept gods next to Ashe and Rudypoo. Monks of...

Lucida Console, size 17. I tend to focus mainly on the window and the stats, only glancing at the messages if I pass by a unique or a randart or something.

Use Ctrl-V to view the health status of each enemy.

How about making uniques more interesting? For example, giving a certain middle-aged bounty hunter some followers (similar to Pikel's slaves) that go around proclaiming all of his accomplishments (perhaps recent players he has killed). There's already at least five uniques with pack of mooks follow...
