So you could see how two of your characters fight against each other. Or how the AI handles your character fighting against seven Royal Jellies.

Spambots under control of Big Social Media to destroy the last forums.

Listing them all in the title would have been a bit much, wouldn't it?

Replace all generic fantasy races and make crawl a unique fantasy universe. Even if it' only renaming the the existing ones at first.

No, this would lead to people writing down the color of the potions. Or something like that. No. Really. No.

They are like engagement rings, they only work on a certain finger.

So you play a Demonspawn in the Dark Souls games? Why can't they collect more souls in DCSS?

I really like the new character selection screens, but I wonder if having unified stylized symbols for the Race and Weapon screens like the ones in the when choosing the background would make it look more...consistent? It may also highlight the different races more than the dolls can.

But then what if you autoexplore-combat, see a dangerous monster (like Mennas, or an early centaur warrior) and you only get control back when you're adjacent? Maybe some kind of strength difference rule would work. You get control back when below a certain amount of HP, basically the same that sto...

It would be great if there's a button that combines autocombat and autoexplore for the easier levels. You press it at the start of the level and as long as above a certain hp level it will attack, explore and rest until the level is explored / there are only rune doors left.

Even better: N-headed ogrecrawl, where N is the depth. (Except maybe Lair+branches, which have N-headed hydras)

So heads growing out of heads, or arms or legs...Ogre lovecraft style.

x Remove multiple lives

Personally I can't stand multiple lives in Roguelikes. The reason why I just can't play this awesome race. And simply quitting after dying doesn't feel right. Maye ask the player if they want to revive?

There are shockingly few of these,

As long as the Keyboard Layout doesn't look like the one from Falcon, there are still enough key-combos left.

As someone who never made it to Lair with a mage background I add my vote to the species, especially as I find it has a really cool flavour.

Friends, Taverners, Internetpeople, lend me your ears;

I come to reanimate the Fairy Dragon, and to praise him.

I finally have to agree here. It really made more sense in earlier versions. The ID game was also more meaningful when Scrolls only got identified after you could see the effect. Now identifying is basically a no-brainer and at the worst case you loose one scroll. Quite similar to potions after remo...

This site even has 1.03 from 1997. Wow. You can play as one of four classes and can only go down like in Rogue.

I would be more in favour of keeping minotaur, as orcs and dwarves are really default fantasy races. But that's more about flavour than anything.

Elves is the spellcasting race for newbies with lots of int and good aptitudes. Maybe it should be merged into other race. Tengu is special because you like the idea of bird people? But it's boring specie in terms of gameplay. That's what I meant with rework, I'm fine when they don't stay in their ...

Rationale: the enduring popularity of Demonspawn and Draconian shows that players like semi-random mutations. I don't think that should lead to other classes do more of the same. How about giving them some kind of holy auras the higher they level. There could be one aura for each god in the game wh...

1. I can agree with Vampires, but mainly because I found them strange as a class anyway. 2. Also if Humans, Orcs and Halfling go, Elves should be added to get out all standard fantasy races. Beside having absolutly nothing special (really absolutly nothing), two elven races is too much anyway. 3. Ne...

I'm for renaming Vampires into something different, as I find that Vampires as race don't make sense in first place. So I'm partly fine with the thankbait solution. Or that they change into a class. Or maybe one can contract vampirism during the game with fitting races.

Hello Tavern!

I had to register just to show my support for the Faerie Dragon. Ever since AOW2 I liked them for beeing such a weak high-level Unit. So here's my vote to keep them as Dragons. (Or at least please don't turn them into another humanoid race).
