Worship Ash.

Besides the enemies list, does the board allow one to create one's own groups or label people? As in, if I were new and still trying to keep everyone straight, could I assign a color to people whose advice I found valuable/suspect? Also, I just want to assign my own labels to you all and make you a...

When a player ghost casts a spell, are ghost's spellpower, MP and success chance based on the morgue or what? Do ghosts ever fail to cast spells?

Could my TrBe learn fire storm, die and then spam it as a ghost?

We don't have spells with a minimum range. It would be interesting if you had to travel full-LOS distance, reduced by 1 for each enemy you have to blink through.

Yo dawg I heard you like summoned dogs so we summoned some dogs that summon some herds of dogs

Same problem on characters with gourmand. If I want to eat only up to very full (so I can still eat mutagenic chunks) auto-eat takes me to engorged. I've turned off auto-eat for now.

EDIT: Since mutagenic chunks give no nutrition, why can't they always be eaten?

Needs a pizza tornado ability

I had a good game going, with some luck with mutations. In all my other 15-rune games, I didn't have this much trouble with Antaeus. I should have been as cautious as I was against Ereshkigal. In comparison, that fight was easy. http://crawl.berotato.org/crawl/morgue/Dharmy/morgue-Dharmy-20151129-06...

Maybe if it could cut your Int in half instead of the flat -6.

I use a fork.

Your starting quest is to retrieve the Orb of Zot and escape the dungeon with it. You get to pick your species and background. When you play checkers, you don't complain that it's not like chess. If you wanted chess, you would play chess. DCSS is a roguelike, so it has certain stylistic restrictions...

I liked your use of formatting.

My highlight was being taken to 1 HP by Cerebov's fire storm as a FormiChei, stepping from time and coming back to see he had killed himself.

I don't normally read the random names but this one piqued my interest.

Pressing xee is like leaving a breadcrumb.

Welcome aboard Chukamok. Choo choo!

All right, so if bcarden and HenryFlower are in, the Jugga jugga choo choo train is full

If there are more people interested, add # TEAMCAPTAIN Dharmy to your rc file and post here. Same idea, and the team is called Jugger jugger choo choo. All aboard this crawl train.

When you first encounter a ghost and it's much stronger than you (which they typically are), you should walk towards the nearest up stairs and take it, rest until healed, then explore the level from a different stair. You can always move on to the next floor and come back to kill it when you are str...

Short blades were decent for my nightstalker demonspawn until I realized I didn't have anything for orbs of fire. You might consider transitioning into long blades as well.

25 points for a win in which you become the champion of Ru and then abandon Ru before entering any branches other than the Temple and the Lair (HERETIC banner III).

That should be Spiteful III and the points should be listed under Banners.

It's great when stairdancing in Vaults:5 and Tomb. Swift + haste, go down stairs, pull enemies up the stairs, kill enemies, wait off slowness/contam, repeat.

I consider Hydra Form an upgrade over Ice Form if you don't need the fire/cold resistance. It's okay in the lair branches but the low AC makes it weak for vaults, though being a 20+ headed hydra is fun.

Random effects is useful when you haven't found digging or disintegration yet and want to get into a sealed rock vault. Watch out for reflections from lightning though.

A cursed early sling doesn't seem so bad if you have bullets.

How about creating a belt slot, and changing some of the amulets to belts? Swapping amulets could have bad effects, and belts could have minor ones. Plus, that opens up a new avenue of artifact belts. Belt of strength, belt of ammunition, black belt (bonus to UC apt?), etc. To wear a belt, your spec...

It would be nice if old gifts didn't expire when you get new ones.

I like the gears splash screen because there's no way they can all turn... oh that's the joke.

I have magic fingers

I misread the topic as "Dairy Challenge Mode" and it made me reminisce of my University days.

Coincidentally, these both end the same way.

The game already tells you "It looks [extremely ]dangerous."

The problem with inside jokes is that they're only funny to the people on the inside. You risk alienating the people who weren't there. I get that the post is a parody of your grandparent complaining about how easy kids these days have it, and how he or she used to walk five miles in the snow uphill...

What if it had a limited turn radius like an OOD once it gets moving?

Haha. My post was mostly in jest. I think it's a natural biological thing, like why rotten food smells bad and you shouldn't eat it, though really you can just cut off the moldy parts and eat the rest. Some people are such picky eaters, but I digress... Anyway, what is significant is how much it aff...

Did you know that the easiest way to get someone to do something is to tell them not to or that they can't do it?

You keep the shield in statue form, so you can consider it if you get that.

Brothers in arms?

The idea of using goblins is they can be killed in 1 or 2 shots by the time you encounter them in orc. They are meant to be fast, and when you encounter them with the priests you have two threats: a normal speed one that can smite you from long range, and a fast one that is trying to catch you. You ...

Why would a goblin do that? [aside] Do you ever wonder if you're a random encounter in someone else's adventure?

Inspired by another game that I play(ed) (shout out to Escape from Underdark ): the goblin bomber. Found in Orc, Upon noticing the player, it inner flames itself, runs at you, and explodes when next to you. Could be interesting in tandem with orc priests. Yes, giant spores were removed, but maybe th...

FR: language = turnip

I don't know your abyss wandering strategy, but I find that changing my general direction of travel occasionally seems to increase the number of new tiles being generated (preventing the map from looping, or that's how it appears to me when I've had the sense surroundings mutation) and thus the chan...

I highly recommend Oolon Colluphid's trilogy of Where Trog Went Wrong, Some More of Trog's Greatest Mistakes, and Who is this Trog Person Anyway?

There are still worms.

What if the Haste spell was changed to Haste Other and the only ways to haste yourself were the wand and potion?

How about starting Warpers with some stealth, so they can explore a bit and apport some things before a fight?

We should have triple staves.

I had avoided taking Ru until I got it at an Ecumenical Altar. My MiFi died but A++++++ would take again.
