Congrats! That Large Shield is too sexy.

Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden

Spoiler: show

Not much to say about this run except that it was lucky from the get-go. I still haven't gotten comfortable with the online UI, so I'm posting this victory so I don't forget about it like I have other offline wins. This character found a bunch of early +2 aux armour and snowballed from there. Mahkle...

As someone who likes Jiyva enough to play as an atheist until Slime appears, having a decent chance but not a guaranteed chance of the altar appearing is incredibly frustrating.

But seriously, though, Slime Knights.

Is this a good time to push for Slime Knight again?

I really want Slime Knight...

I think TrCK is probably the easiest. You avoid the crappy starting weapon. And you're a troll. It was probably still the easiest even back when CK had better weapons.

I feel like you're overvaluing resistances. rPois, sufficient rC is easily attainable from other sources, you can get by fine without rElec, rF is useful but is usually common enough. Whereas Pale has a more unique and useful ability and Gray's AC is always relevant. I disagree about overvaluing th...

Do enemy bolt spells ignore AC? I know they ignore SH, but I was under the impression they respect AC.

b) Pull back shower curtain

Code:: the +9 executioner's axe "Doklues" (weapon) {chop, rC+, Dex+7}

Found it in a shop on D:5 for 390 gold on an axe user. :twisted:

Why not just make decks stack? Remove all the random decks (Wonder is silly anyway) and just keep Destruction/Escape/War. It limits Nemelex to at most 9 inventory slots (Plain/Ornate/Legendary) instead of the like 20 he wants to take. You could even just remove Plain/Ornate/Legendary--do decks reall...

For Oka, my understanding was higher Invocations makes Heroism etc. last longer. No? It does increase Heroism's duration (and probably Finesse, but it's much easier to notice with Heroism as you use it from 0-X Invocations frequently). 8-10 is fine for a longer duration, and I normally grab at leas...

Still level 9, 3 deaths and no wipes yet. Cresent Lake and Temple of Ordeals is next! Said edgefigaro on september 26th (last edit)! Come on man, you're not going to convince anyone fighters are more broken than black belts if you don't even finish the run! And Abominae, sure, it's a solo character...

My solo BB is leveling up in the earth cave, because I like abusing how easy it is to level a single character. Think he's around 25 or so, I'll probably go kill lich soon. But I don't think I have ever done the waterfall before the ice cave, maybe I'll give that a shot. All that instant death soun...

Phew. Almost done with the run. I have three dungeons left, which I will hopefully finish up tonight. In the meantime, I'll go ahead and post up my beautiful Ice Cave victory and what led up to it. Ice Cave is basically the final hump to get over on a lot of solo runs: it is chocked full of instant ...

Demonspawn are my favorite. By the time you're entering extended, you have already progressed past the two biggest limiting factors of the race: low(ish) aptitudes and horrendous XP growth. Plus, it gives you a chance to use your tier 3 mutation for more than just 1-2 dungeons.

Sandblast still needs stones, right? Yeah, and Sticks to Snakes exists, although IMO it shouldn't. Sticks to Snakes (at some point in trunk) no longer requires you to wield arrows to cast. It draws directly from inventory. I'm not sure of Sandblast got the same treatment due to the mechanic being s...

Yeah, that makes sense. Solo red mage isn't an easy run at all - I'm not sure I'd want to solo the game with anything but fighter/black belt. I did mess around with starting a solo black belt run, and got him up to level 4 and the second town, but it's a very frustrating experience. Going out to re...

So, you know, I don't have terribly much time to do these runs during the week, so I rushed mine in over the weekend (mostly). But it's thursday now and the two other runs seriously need to catch up. Don't make me do a solo black belt run before you guys post your first runs! Maaannnn. It has proba...

I've got a ps1 emulator around somewhere, I just haven't fired it up in a long time. The point is, I'd rather hear about someone else's FFT exploits than actually subject myself to it again =) Really, I feel the same way about Final Fantasy at this point. It was fun, but I find it practically unpla...

Now do final fantasy tactics challenge runs! I tried to do one with all knights once but got bored and then sold my PS2 =P I make up for it by occasionally playing Ogre Battle on an emulator, because that's still one of my all time favorite games. FFT is super fun for challenge variants. My favorit...

Okiedoke. So I figured I would join in on the fun by documenting a playthrough I've been meaning to get around to: the solo Red Mage! This isn't my first time doing a solo run (the first time I played through this game to completion was with a solo Fighter), but FF1 is a really great game for a solo...

On a related note though, is there any point to wearing a proRing when you have a ribbon? If I took them off the 3 who have ribbons (4th BB would keep the proRing) then they'd get +1 evade. The Ribbon gives resistance to all 8 "elemental" categories in FF1, so it is redundant with the pro...

Ooo. Is this FF1-off open to join? I've been meaning to get around to documenting a solo RM run.

What about making the forms sustain themselves as long as there is tension? Crawl already tracks tension for things as Singing Sword, Xom and other stuff, so you could just freeze transformation timer as long as some form of tension is present. This way once you're out of battle you can just auto-e...

Which is why, if they were toggleable, you'd almost always want to cancel your current form as soon as the immediate need for it is gone. Would that be less annoying than the current behaviour? I suspect not. Would you mind elaborating on this? I'm going to say what I think you mean, but I'm aware ...

I'm sure this has probably been mentioned in various buff reform threads, but I think playing any sort of Transmuter would become much more enjoyable if forms were changed to toggle on and toggle off instead of respecting a duration. This is because that unlike many duration-based buffs (e.g., Ozo's...

Has this changed recently? I could have sworn Slimify gave zero experience.

Dem gurlz wit dem phat ass bootys, obv.

Did I just witness the fall of academic discourse?

Currently, there is no way to discriminate between what brands auto-pickup grabs in regards to ammo. If you choose to auto-pickup arrows, you will pick up all arrows regardless of brand. This isn't very annoying until you worship a god such as Dith or TSO who does not appreciate particular brands of...

Dildo Faggins has been my default Halfling name since downloading Crawl.

A simple fix to avoid scumming poison regeneration would be to have it only be active when monsters are in LoS. There's precedence in the code for the opposite effect, so I assume it's not a difficult thing to implement. It makes post-battle poisoning annoying or problematic, but there are fixes for...

Does Poison Immunity granted by Zin's Vitalization or being a Mummy reduce the damage of things like Poison Arrow further than just rPois would?

A few versions ago, a slightly defining factor of Gladiators was the fact they were able to start with Quarterstaffs. The Quarterstaff is a very strong early game weapon boasting great stats: +3 acc / 10 dmg / 1.3-.6 delay. However, the introduction of upgraded weaponry for Gladiators and Fighters (...

I've always wanted there to be a higher level form in the same vein as Beastly Appendage. Something that melds Gloves, Hats, and Boots and provides level 3 Claws, Hooves, and Horns (maybe Spikes or Bite). Then we can finally get rid of monstrous Demonspawn and all will be well in the world.

Stonekeep is an amazing game if you like anything in the vein of Dungeon Master or the Wizardry series. I cannot recommend this game enough. As far as Diablo II clones go, I would suggest the Soulvizier mod for Titan Quest. It has a ridiculous amount of item acquisition, and the game rewards you for...

I feel the design niche you're looking to fill is already adequately represented by Halflings.

you're welcome to attempt a contradiction to that. if you want me to attempt a contradiction you should probably actually address the points that i made, you completely misunderstood #1, your #2 was "yred is very strong you should never lose with him", and #3 you made into a strawman you ...

i think it's safe to assume you mean midgame tier, ok 1. Yred is not that fast, undead army doesn't start steamrolling until post-orc mines typically, and he's worse than the gods that are higher tier than him during that time period I'll concede Yred isn't as powerful pre-Lair as some gods, though...

I have no idea why Yred isn't S considering the god plays an entire 3 rune game for you.

I thought this was a thread about drinking. I am severely disappointed.

I meant to eventually give thanks for the entire Summoner book remake (especially Lightning Spire), but I just found and used Summon Forest for the first time. Thank you for this spell. It is amazing.

A good player should win most 15-rune games regardless of god choice (I'd guess even Xom) FWIW, I would certainly argue Xom is a stronger god than Cheibrados in extended. Xom doesn't limit movement, which I would also argue to be the most important action in extended play. There are few Xom effects...

I haven't played DCSS in quite awhile, and I'm still trying to get used to all this .16 stuff. Apparently everything annoying ever is gone? It's pretty friggin' sweet. This was my first Wanderer and my first ranged character win. I don't know how much ranged combat has changed, but the removal of we...

So are you saying that DE's are not expected to be able to beat ghost moths? No, and I have no idea how you interpreted me as asserting this. However, I would expect DE's to beat Ghost Moths in a significantly different way than the majority of species would. I wonder why that is... A DE book start...

For people who actually play those types of characters, it's obvious that ghost moths are a challenging opponent for them. Sandman is right on the money, for a DE (yeah, people play them, it's hilarious that now DEs are 'niche characters') ghost moths are one of the toughest challenges you will fac...
