And if they are going to make all brands ID(which thematically makes sense), what is the reason to keep the ID system around still? Nostalgy. The id scroll economy is a boring, easily solved and then repetitive minigame. What and_into posted as "arguably" above makes a lot of sense: knowi...

Please no. Tomb is already a place of retreating and resting. Delayed death curses would add to that problem and make Tomb even more of a stair dancing and resting thing. However more variety in them would be indeed good. As it is they mostly put your life directly in danger and decay you but don't ...

Intuitiveness is not a design goal. You can tell by the fact that Crawl is not intuitive and makes no effort to become more intuitive. To expand on damiac's quote N.

making Tomb require rF++ would somewhat drastically increase the amount of requirements for Tomb, which are already high, and reduce player options in branch order. This is true. However I think making Stasis necessary would also increase the amount requirements for Tomb. Full disclosure, I've only...

How exactly do you use clouds to kill mummies in Tomb? Lamp of fire is powerful in Tomb 3. YMMV I suppose, but I've used it, and seen lots of people use it. It would be interesting to have those clouds blown back in your face on the stairs. I'm definitely not saying it's overpowered or too useful. ...

It would be really sweet to have Tomb draw on Egyptian mythology a little more. That's a wonderful idea. Also, a new "boss" unique there would give real variety when fighting a horde of mummies. However, I don't really agree with the "Aten" design. Basically, first of all, recycl...
