I like the idea of an elemental god. It would be neat if you could switch between elemental affinities. Tie fire, ice and air to str, int and dex respectively... you gain a pip of resistance and modest boost to that stat while in that form. Switching forms costs piety but you get a temporary boost u...

Thanks everybody... managed to get rune. Now to not die in Depths...

Good to know. I didn't even realize it was resistible.

1) Equip all MR items I have
2) Use a hatch/shaft.
If hatch/shaft feels too risky or I don't have at least +++ in MR section, I don't enter the level because my character is not ready for it.

MR for sentinel's mark?

I know the old strategy was run to the corner first, but now it seems that can get you trapped in with nowhere to run. Vault wardens make stair dancing pretty risky now too. Is there a logical way to tackle it without relying too much on chance?

Recharge wand of hasting before you go in.

Looks really awesome... thanks for all the hard work.

Forgive us granny, for we are going to sin. Kidding aside, looking forward to seeing some cool screenshots.

Why do you hate Boris? What did he ever do to you?

I still remember the joy of my first three wins... I can remember where I was physically when I played each. Here is my YAVP from third win... I was so excited

Whippersnapper.

I think the more specific you get, the more debatable and contentious it becomes. The real key is looking at all aspects of a species (not only aptitudes) and getting a general feel of their strengths and weaknesses. Background is important in the beginning but the differences between them practical...

Low intelligence causes most of my deaths.

This is because spiders have "web sense".

I don't know why this exists.

What the fuck???

Well yes he would no longer be the god of time, rather the god of earth or gravity or something. If he is to stay the god of time, I don't understand why a time god should favor only slowness? Perhaps he should favor both extremes... any temporal distortions like haste, swiftness, translocations, as...

Maybe chei's strength should be affected by your encumbrance rating rather than your speed. The more cumbersome your armor, weapon and shield, the more piety/stats whatever you gain... encouraging and aiding hybridism. Penalties for using ranged, reaching.

So I read a lot about strategies like scumming Lair as Mu for thousands of turns, or digging killholes every floor etc, and it seems like a strange way to have fun to me... So I wonder if/how many people actually do that ! Are there any on the forum ? Who are they ? You must be using a strange defi...

I should have sacrificed a goat.

I want that to be a real unique.

*raises beer*

I didn't not read this thread, and am not ungrateful for having done so.

I think just like with chess, people underestimate the gulf between beginner and expert. In chess and Crawl there are endless ways you can do things, but the number of "sound" choices are often relatively few. The hallmark of the beginner is that they consider everything, whereas the exper...

I imagine Neitzsche would have had fun playing Crawl.

Ironically I think pure fighter is more proper to call "newbie trap" than caster. The sooner you start learning the relative power of all the spells, the better. Both so you can use them yourself, but also to gauge how dangerous they are when a monster possesses them. For example, venom bo...

Shadow Creatures or careful avoidance.

I don't understand why the vaults keep getting targeted for increasing difficulty. Sentinels, convokers and wardens already made a considerable spike in difficulty. Opening the corners of V:5 makes it even worse now.

You write well... hope you post more.

Would be interested in speed runs as well.

Note that the bottom floor (level 5) of any of those branches is significantly harder than levels 1-4. Vaults:5 is comparable to Zot difficulty (victory is close).

I've only been playing DCSS for a few weeks but have a lot of RL experience. I can't wrap my head around how to avoid instant death from going down stairs. I'm going about my business blasting everything to death, clear a level then I go down some stairs, see that I'm completely surrounded on the f...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwB9m4FslO4 The opening refrain has rich symbolism. There are subtle strains of sado-masochism, which, if you've played Crawl for long, you know must exist in the player for them to stick around. The second variation turns the inner focus outward (and reveals the struc...

"Safely progress" is a myth.

LOL. Beer: facilitates learning even in the young.

Awesome, main thing is visiting the family.

Away from Honolulu I hope... I hate the big city.

Nice, what island?

Lots of entertainment to be had.

Welcome back

I know some people run script so their crawl text comes through in pirate speak. Can someone not just make a script for euphemism and political correctness and leave the game code alone? Should be possible in lua: man = human, maid = domestic servant, woman = "female bodied person". To be ...

Oh god my sides.

I can't tell what is serious anymore.

Everything above level 6.

This leads us to a more serious problem: the discriminatory abundance of phallic shaped weapons. Name me one soft, curvy shaped weapon. Am I supposed to believe that women are not as capable of killing as men? What kind of message does this send to impressionable children? I get it, it's a man's wor...

Crowd of peasants gather to cheer you. You cast firestorm...

I do like towns in RPGs. It's nice to have a place where everything isn't trying to kill you. I like that you propose it as an area outside the main game though.
