Search • The Tavern

To be frank, the core problem with Hell is not that it is too long. The floors are intended to be runned through fast, with the hell's effect and whatnot on your tail. And that's not counting that you probably have good stack of Scrolls of Mapping at that point - good time to use them up. Maybe they...

Personally I would make god selectable from level 5. Maybe give random as option - functioning as faded altar, mostly. Random god can kick you in ass, or get the god you most wanted. I'd see scumming being problem. And I'd like seeing more interesting weaknesses - although I must admit, I haven't tr...

I don't think there wouldn't be much to gain from this. I've been amusing idea of making a replacement branch for hell-branches. The current problem with end-game is that it is so filled with undead/demonic entities that the threats are predictable and easy to build against. What I would like to see...

I would probably avoid the tomb card since that's just tedious in the hands of a monster, and can probably have some bad edge-case effects (the walls are permanent, right?) Walls are diggable, and they dissolve after a while. Plus, chance of him drawing Tomb is 1/15 * 1/8. I'd like to see him draw ...

http://i.imgur.com/4yvxAJ0.png Decided to setup Crawl's source on my laptop. Ended up fixing some bugs and updating it. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52769410/sabin2.patch ( requires pretty recent source, contains everything needed, tile etc. ) Still looking feedback on the design. While the ...

So far I have played few games of 0.18, one being 15 runer with DsMo of Qazlal. 0.17/0.18 is ending up as my least favourite version of Crawl, so far - although not only because of the amulet changes ( I miss flight and control teleport ). They were binary sort of deal mostly, but I felt that they h...

Hmm... I feel I have little to add other than seconding the views of others. This is an interesting idea. Though there'd probably need to be some divine ability to stop players from dying of their own poison. Possibly at the cost of piety, or just an ability that players may take for granted. I'd f...

PS: i can C++ but i never touched crawl code with a 10 foot pole and would have 0 clue on how a god is implemented, even as a barebone test, if anyone feels like "adopting" it to see how it would play out feel free. Well, I'd say it is not too difficult. There's just quite bit of places w...

It is my understanding that the Crawl tile art convention is to use a slightly angled "top-down" perspective to emphasize the hugeness of huge monsters. Your redesigns are all straight-on, so they lose the sense of scale. The two-headed giant could just as easily be a two-headed hobbit. w...

I really like the idea, so I decided to make a quick altar for it.
Tried to go kinda jadeish-look, a jade serpent with pool of poison over a simple rug.

If someone wants to try to implement it.

Entropy Weaver tile, edition 'Pissmaster'.

Also some silly tile I made that could work as placeholder for Crown of Eternal Torment.

Either give abilities that work on demons/undead, more powerful allies or resistances. For example, maybe he could block some effects of Hell. ( "Hell's mystical forces sense the dark inside you and leaves you unharassed... for now." ) Maybe capstone ability that summons a very powerful mo...

Here's my attempt at improving Tiamat.

http://i.imgur.com/EhhKDba.png A devout follower of Nemelex Xobeh, this lucky kobold has gotten this deep in the dungeon with his powerful decks. However, his luck is not as infallible as he would like to think! Basically rather deep-end unique kobold (HD 15) with branded rapier/quickblade who freq...

Formicids should have 3 offhand punches.

Yeah, implemented it. Here's patch, you need to apply it to source and compile though: http://puu.sh/hcrTF/cc876cbfaf.patch Included four vaults that appear in Abyss:5 with some loot ( randarts, manuals, etc. ), but mind you, the mechanics of actually encountering him are not very good. He is easily...

Oh no, it happened.

http://i.imgur.com/Y0fM6kZ.png Having too much free time, I decided to download DCSS source and implement a race. A race of plant-like creatures that have a terrifying scream that can scare away their enemies. They regenerate slowly, but can absorb life-force from fallen foes. To top it all off, th...

Maybe a vault containing the unique ( also guaranteed rune if not grabbed earlier ). Maybe something appropriately chaotic. The vault itself stops monsters spawning/shifting abyss, but the unique is ridiculously chaotic in nature. Reward could be small room of treasure, mostly containing distortion/...

Monks have fine damage output, in early game by 100% powerleveling UC you can punch through everything, in extended a monk with 27 UC can tear pretty much anything in tiny bits, but their problem is that they can't use their weapons as resistance sticks. Maybe giving benefits to deflecting ranged at...

http://i.imgur.com/aqZ0WAa.png As far as I know, 0.16 still has enemies triggering Zot Traps against player, summoning dangerous demons capable of potentially oneshotting some more flimsy characters if encountered early ( Lair:8 ). I don't think this is very good design, since currently I feel that...

Things can go south with polymorph sometimes. I forgot to unwield my chaos weapon.

But this is the god of felids! You get all the bonuses with no downsides, and there's even a scaling hp boost! You can have health again! Put more seriously - there's going to be problems with this god applying evenly to races which already have restricted slots. Trolls will always have free gloves...

Well, I'd just make it rarer. Maybe split it into two intristics, -TELE that is identical to original -TELE, and -cTELE that disables controlled teleports ( blinks, delays teleports etc ), -cTELE being more common but 'lingering' for 5-10, maybe inflicting Dim. Anchor for short time. Maybe same with...

I also had idea of formicid unique with stasis field. A formicid monk with four unarmed attacks per round ( muda! ), out to kill any surface-dweller in the Dungeon for killing off the formicids in Spider Nest. Augments his combat with earth magic. Lee's Rapid Deconstruction, Venom Bolt, Iron Shot an...

I should draw Agnes someday.
