3 fails in a row, that's also a kind of a streak!

it was going so well… :/ Yeah, lesson learned: don't go to Abyss:4, just don't

hey hello again! I've just been thinking about playing some crawl again in the last few weeks, what a coincidence that the tournament is starting now. add me add me add me :3

I like the name, TavernSnacksOfOpportunity :-)

https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.29/ and the release was just added to CUE… let's go

I really should've done that since I didn't have much time to play anyway so I only did some fail attempts after that…

Can't believe I won on my first attempt this tournament! I've been trying to win as a TrWr in trunk some time before the tournament and did *not* succeed then. how much these depend on luck Well, it's a game where basically *everything* involves the RNG, can't not depend on luck :) This time item lu...

Looks like I'm quite a bit late, but not yet *too* late, you can still add me (floatboth)

Congrats on the 14 rune anyway! Historically for me the only way to get 15 runes was Necromutation+FireStorm. I kinda want to replicate the octolich again but wow it seems really hard to survive at all as an octo now :/

With new Ash, the bonuses to the same skill from multiple items stack, right? Heh, I didn't even realize how good that would be with octopodes.

There was a NetHack speedrun at the recent ESA marathon, can we hope for a DCSS marathon run in the future?

LET'S GOOOOO

"YEAH! Who won the lottery? I DID!"

Have you ever been lucky? P - the +9 scales of the Dragon King (worn) {rPois rF+ rC+ Will+} (You took it off a yaktaur on level 12 of the Dungeon) Like really, really lucky? c - the +2 shield of Resistance (worn) {rF++ rC++ Will++} (You bought it in a shop on level 1 of the Dungeon) And even more lu...

welp got shafted from Zot:1 to 2, instantly surrounded by lots of draconians, no blink scrolls left, no blink spell/items, decided to blast Starburst a couple times and got hit way too hard, fear scroll didn't save

ooofff. Incredible item luck, very nice start, only to get abyssed by some distortion weapon in the beginning of orcish mines, even while wearing a +will armor.

I'm down, let's go again

As you can see on the scoreboard, no. (why would I say "I've had looooots of chances to escape" if I *did* escape

)

THANKS XOM

Spoiler: show

(to be fair I've had looooots of chances to escape and spent way too much time messing with this)

Splatted two tengu ~1 hour in. Argh why are they so fragile? Like literally I'm training dodging non-stop and still, it feels like they can tank even less than deep elves.

Congrats Strat!

ooh let's go! In the past I've found a clan once on reddit (and IIRC i was even the one who suggested the name

) but I don't use reddit anymore, nice to have a place to find a similar casual clan.

My server nick is same as here, I assume same holds for you?

a - the cursed +12 Vampire's Tooth (weapon) {vamp} (You took it off a centaur on level 7 of the Dungeon) Hey, what a coincidence, I just won with a stabber and I've found it on level 11 of the Dungeon! Amazing artifact for stabbing, is it just 100% luck or does it generate earlier and more often no...

Did you do the entire second zig with inhibited regeneration? Because that's quite impressive if so, it's a pretty nasty mutation for drawn out fights, and later zigg floors are guaranteed to be drawn out fights. Did you just shatter everything before you could take much damage? I did not do a seco...

Cleared all hells, learned Glaciate. I could try another zig now? But there's this mutation: You do not regenerate when monsters are visible. and one last potion of mutation left (after 4 of them did not cure it).

Decided to try an earth mage (inspired by gammafunk's livestreams that demonstrated the power of Lee's Rapid Deconstruction). After failing a Dr and Gh , went with Gr because I'm a bad player and I need easy mode (high AC tank) :D The gargoyle easily went off the ground (huh, wait, it does literally...

I would use ring of dexterity instead of poison. +8 ring mail with slaying, +10 plate of MR+ and +10 pearl are all good options. Personally I would go with MR+ as with those defenses and weapon I would worry about paralysis only. Edit. I would not use the scarf, you already have rF++ and rC+, good ...

So looks like pearl and plate can provide the same AC, pearl is rN+ and plate is MR+. But plate encumbrance penalty is pretty big… I only have 24 strength without the Str+4 ring mail. I guess pearl it is then. Only found basic cloaks so far! Wearing the rC+ rF+ scarf instead, because two resistances...

Finally got a melee character off the ground (previously, only had success with wizards ). Previous attempt died in Vaults:5 , did not repeat that mistake here yet… Also, was planning on Makhleb — got the altar on D:2. And an early storm dragon armor. Nice. Accidentally cleared 11 levels of a Ziggur...

How about a literal Trog equivalent for magic. "Magic berserk" that adds MP and Wiz for some turns and gives you exhaustion, ability to summon allies (spellforged servitors?), weapons become unavailable…

and of course Burn Weapons

Necromutation One of the worst spells in the game. The only places where this form's benefit outweighs its drawbacks are Tomb, Coc, and certain zig levels, and getting it for Tomb is massive overkill (even getting Statue Form for Tomb makes more sense). It is genuinely very good in ziggurats, but t...

Monsters can cast fear on you?? Wow. Learn something new every day.

I think slow+exhaustion are sufficient penalties to berserk without adding random paralysis. Those are demonstrably not sufficient penalties. Berserk provides a tremendous increase in damage output, and slow is not a particularly problematic debuff. Berserk is equivalent to might + haste. The reduc...

For some reason I really wanted to play the ~classic (e.g. guides existed since 0.12 ) Slime Troll character.

More runes! Abyss, Tomb, Pan, Lom Lobon, Gloorx Vloq!

Spoiler: show

It's Saint Roka!!! cTele'd right out of there.

I'm back! (I think my last post on this forum before today was in 2013?) So, here's the story: Ever since I watched this epic run , I wanted to have an Octopode spellcaster victory with 15 runes (or, well, more than 3 runes anyway :D or just... try extended!) And looks like I actually have a chance ...

Brogue, which wasn't initially designed for touch, was ported to the iPad and it's very playable there.

Wow, it's like a -Cast party! Mine is even better:

Code:: the ring of Qevofau {-Cast rElec rPois Int+4 Dex+5}

That would be so useful without the -Cast.
Playing an Octopode, was excited for my first artifact ring...

Do NOT wear fire dragon armor without an rC item! And if you do, don't hit an ettin simulacrum after it just lowered your HP to about 20%.

Would be nice if Crawl exported JSON or YAML.

But for now, I wrote a parser in Clojure… Check out clj-dcss :-)

Lava Orc Abyssal Knight + Corruption + moving into a neutral monster = all monsters around you attacking you because of your heat.

The Lernaean Hydra actually does exist. (Seriously in over nine hundred games I had never seen it before (I've had that Swamp ending, but never actually ran into it for some reason). Just now it came out and bit a large number of chunks out of me, causing me to burn the only scroll of blinking I've...

I think casters of large species really benefit from shields… On my first victory (NaAE), I used Donald's shield of reflection and it was great.
