He reached out to Gammafunk on the roguelikes discord, sounds like they may be able to help him make an account.

A lot of people joined the server today, has been pretty active chat-wise and lots of people have great suggestions for improvements.

My introduction to the server was like this: I was playing a game of Crawl on CAO and a spectator messaged me and said he is sponsoring a weekly competition for a $10 prize that he is funding himself. He sent a link to the Discord server. I joined the server and didn't post anything right away, just...

Hi all, just wanted to post here that there is a fairly new Discord server devoted to hosting weekly Crawl challenges. There are server ranks to rise through and there is even a $ prize (usually $10USD but this week is $30USD!). So far the format has been based on a species/background combo that's s...

S[Tr]eak is though. Call it trolling I guess.

It's also appropriate because it will probably damage your INT if you chug it as I suggested.

Drop into a Big Gulp of orange soda and chug.

I think these changes sound pretty cool, here are my two cents: Yred remains the God of Undead Supremacy. In fact, in following Yred, players ultimately choose undeath over life. Yes, the big gimmick here is that when a living player begins worshipping Yred, the game starts tracking (perhaps) XP-sin...

I'm playing a TrBe right now and I feel like I'm playing pretty badly. I don't think to use escape items until it's almost too late, I forget things about enemies that I should be taking into account...I feel like the only reason this char is still alive is that...well...he's a troll, he can take a ...

Frenzy is you find is the best escape option you have (and it's fun to use). When I read your post, I thought "how does making an enemy berserk (and thus faster) make it easier to escape?", so I looked up the knowledge bot entry on needles of frenzy. Causes berserk and neutrality. Neutral...

Paralysis is ideal, otherwise sleeping or confusion.

Depending on your species and what method you use for stabbing, there are probably 3 good options I see for those scrolls: 1. Enchant your short blade. Enchant a sabre with a good brand (elec probably, else maybe speed if you do a lot of distraction stabs), or a quickblade. 2. Enchant a missile weap...

Is disjunction a new spell? Never heard of it before and there's no entry in the knowledge bots for it.

I use different fonts on different comps, this one I seem to have set to Courier New, 10 point (my crawl window takes up about 3/4 of the screen from top to bottom and from left to right on a widescreen monitor, 1366x1068 screen res). I transitioned to console from tiles because I wanted to play onl...

You've got wand and scrolls of teleport if you don't want to fight him, I doubt you'll get dropped into anything more dangerous than him in crypt. Your piety is at ****, not sure how many brothers you'll be able to pop out since it might drop to *** after your first try. If you fight him, I'd summon...

Thanks for the quick responses! Glad to see the community is active. I was wondering how I determine the minimum level of shield skills to prevent losing attack speed. I've seen formulas, but I was wondering if there is a way to check in game. Sort of like checking hunger cost for spells? On that n...

He's kidding about getting to 45 skill, but if it were possible, it would really work as he says! Armour skill reduces your base penalty by this formula: [real evade penalty] = [base evade penalty]*((45-[armour skill])/45) If armour skill was 45, you'd multiply the base penalty by 0, which would nul...

Interesting, I didn't know that grey draconians don't have to breath. Does it work against other kinds of clouds? I'm thinking of miasma in particular, also the "calcifying dust" from catoblepas.

I don't usually post victories, but I love ogres, and I've wanted to get a 15 rune ogre win for a long time, so it's a milestone for me. It's also my highest scoring game ever! I removed the kill list from the dump since it put it over the character limit, but I noticed that Cerebov was in the "...

Rune crumbles. And served in the horn of Geryon.

Never saw this variation on "Spit the foo like a pig" before, made me chuckle.

Um, Troll/Spriggan crossbreed: Biggest playable race + smallest playable race == medium size. Fastest metabolism + slowest metabolism == standard metabolism. Carnivore 3 + Herbivore 3 == No dietary restriction. Good melee (except short blades)/bad everything else + good ranged and magic (plus short...

I'd get your GSC to min delay next, after that depends on what you find. I'd raise int on level-ups. Fighting would be my next skill to raise if you don't find any useful spells or armour by the time you've got min delay with your tree trunk.

And is throwing skill worth investing all the way up to 27? How does range attack works in terms of skills? For melee weapon you'd want to get min. delay, but what about throwing/bow/crossbow? The only time I'd get throwing that high is to use needles of paralysis and stabbing in the endgame (not o...

I would use it to artificially crossbreed a race of Troll/Spriggans and then create a new weapon type to arm my new legion with: the Giant Spiked Quickblade.

I usually train ranged before melee if it's a character with decent skill apts in both and it's a character that starts with some kind of ranged weapon. What kind of race+class would be that? I'd like to give a try to ranged class, but it seems so complicated and I just don't know where to start. O...

I usually train ranged before melee if it's a character with decent skill apts in both and it's a character that starts with some kind of ranged weapon. Getting half a dozen free potshots in with even darts is strong in the early game, especially in 0.11 since all missiles are buffed compared to old...

I start off by training stabbing up to around 8, with a little stealth so I have stab chances while my magic is weak. Then I train spellcasting until fulsome and evaporate are both hungerless--I like my spells to be hungerless asap on spriggans since they have to rely on permafood. After that, it de...

My understanding is that ranged delay depends on STR and DEX as well as weapon skill. I've never seen the formula listed anywhere, but it seemed to be true (experimented with swapping out +- STR/DEX gear).

Do you find you do less dmg vs. enemies with rElec?

Santa = Satan, just ask the Church Lady.

I always heard the devil was in the details. But that would make Grimm...a Satanist!

Wow, that was just an insta-joke for myself, surprised you noticed it!

Maybe not minimalist enough, but it's certainly derivative enough to be fanart:

At my last job, they used PuTTY as an interface for their warehouse/inventory system. I used to play crawl online under the premise that I was going over inventory all the time. Even when people looked over my shoulder, they usually couldn't tell I was playing a game. Sometimes people thought I was ...

...when you play crawl? I was reading about people using bots in crawl earlier and got to thinking about how I play. Bot-like: Oblivious to "pager goes off" messages...I only seem to notice them if they're on-screen when I come back from being afk. I browsed through the dump of my last win...

And, theoretically (with a dagger and enough Stabbing), you can one-shot TRJ. As long as you're playing 0.10, even if you don't, he won't regenerate, so you can run away for a few thousand turns and wait for him to fall back asleep so you can finish the job. Be prepared to be surrounded by his spaw...

I noticed the "CAO will be back" message changed today (yes, I check it every day). It sounds like the person running it is having a hard time. The message doesn't ask for help, but I wonder if there would be a way to help get CAO back. I doubt there is much I could do, but if there are mo...

I like Makhleb for this combo, destruction does pretty well for ranged damage (though I think major destruction has become more dangerous since I last played Makhleb), and the demon summoning can be a strong panic button (or make things more dangerous, but hey, that's Makhleb). Plus you have a way t...

I want to say that LRD can gibbify monsters, if its scratch damage to fleshy targets happens to kill it. Lee's can't target fleshy creatures anymore. By "scratch damage", I think he means damage caused when they are in the blast radius of a targeted wall. I'm playing a stalker right now a...

Blyxx casts Raise Dead Thread. The "Bad dream" thread is bumping! I had a dream last night that some unusual caverns were being discovered all over the world. They were full of rooms and passages, and items had been found inside, wands made of different materials, bottles with strange liqu...

I got one last night, so I canceled the connection, then loaded a new session and didn't get the warning again. That's the only time it's happened. Glad to hear a tournament is coming soon!

Wow, I guess I was looking so hard for something to be wrong with the sentence that I failed to properly read what he was trying to do. Way to blow my first post!

I think it would clear things up if you put "as she stood in reminiscence" at the beginning of the sentence and specify when the matchbox was pocketed (earlier), like this: As she stood in reminiscence, she found the church matchbox, pocketed by accident earlier. (I know you used "on ...
