after starting up a spwz real quick, counting the dashes, then finding a goblin and running to full los, casting, and counting range, yes, the arrowhead counts as part of the range.(ok yes i know that full los is 8 but i counted anyway because science)

two muffins are baking in an oven. one turns to the other and says, "boy it sure is getting hot in here!"

the other, horrified, shrieks "OH MY GOD! A TALKING MUFFIN!"

Wait, what? Clearly "Shedbiking threadmega" is a much better name.

We've already derailed into bikeshedding ABOUT the thread, so it should definitely be called "Bikeshedding Metathread".

i just beat a staff ghost... am i suddenly playing mario kart?

when i first started playing i used tiles exclusively, because i thought the mouse was useful. then i started playing on cdo becuase i love playing trunk most of all and i got tired of downloading a new version every other day. by the time webtiles came about i was so used to the ascii glyphs and ke...

[/lurk] not being overly familiar with obscure D&D stuff, i had no idea what kenku were when i first played crawl, and upon playing one just figured that the name was, in fact, some weird corruption of the tengu myth and wondered why they weren't just called tengu. so the change actually makes t...

My first Crawl-Octopode "Wunderpusel" lives up to his name. This clever mollusca manages to cut corpses with a knife it just seems to imagine to possess . Pic shows test after stripping of all possessions: http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/1113/krakeknive.jpg Just like the name octopode no...

You bet they are! pretty hardcore, too.

1)I can't say I've gotten emotionally attached to any character in any game i've ever played, actually. i understand that it happens, but don't understand how. I'm kind of weird, though. 2)uhhhh... a lot of games. like probably close to 1400 plays. ....no wins yet, though. 3)i do feel annoyed that m...

oh man, i love getting that entrance vault. it's tetrominoes!

huh. isn't xom the god of the RNG? giving you exactly what you don't need? playing a chaos knight makes me feel like Tom Leykis - 'G - a Choko {God Gift}' "...Thanks, Xom."

personally i actually usually listen to talk shows while i crawl. particularly The Non-Prophets. listening to Jeff Dee(who you might know for his work found in monster manuals in old editions of D&D!) rant or Matt Dillahunty go off on tangents is really great. ...There's also the added level of ...

"The necrophage eats the human corpse of Josephine." Necrophages are carnivorous... apparently. I'm disturbed. o_o quick etymology lesson- necro = death, phage = eat(usually used to describe WHAT something eats) so literally, it means "death eater". in this specific scenario i w...

i recently just realized that although macros could potentially be exceedingly useful, I'm just not very imaginative on where they could help. the only really helpful ones I've thought up on my lonesome is a spell quickbar(f1-f4 being Za-Zd for one-button zapping of four spells i use most often on a...

that is very information-dense. this is exactly the kind of thing i've been looking for. like that tidbit about the dagger of electrocution being better, on average, than the short sword of speed. just fascinating, really.

coolio wrote:EDIT: Seconding that carps should replace giant goldfish.

well technically a carp IS a giant goldfish.

or rather a goldfish is a particular breed of carp that generally doesn't get too big because it's put in a tiny living space and growth based on living space is just how carp roll.

but yeah.

I have a XL6 TrMo Trog who's off to a good start - 2 rings of evasion +2, good supply of escape and survival items. But I just found a +4,+5 War Axe of Innocence {Speed, Noisy, rElec, rMagic, EV+5, Stlth++} The noisy totally cancels out the stealth and then some, but the rest seems amazing for a we...

well, that is very informative in many ways indeed... but i wonder if there's anything that would give you an indication of when your stabbing skill and dex is high enough to make better short blades outdo daggers on stabbing? that seems like it would be as helpful as the spell hunger chart, to me. ...

ok, so daggers provide a damage bonus when the stabbing skill is triggered. does this make daggers worth using over the otherwise superior and not-too-rare sabre? if so, it's almost certainly temporary; is there some level of short blades skill where the stabbing bonus gets overshadowed by the great...

Show of hands for carp.

just make sure they don't end up being too hardcore.

would a proper dwarf have it any other way?

first thing, strip. armor impedes spellcasting quite well. also, quaff a potion of brilliance, if you have one. higher intelligence makes memorization easier, IIRC.

it's probably is just stuck to his slug-slime. it's almost certainly the hat of the wizard he ate, dropped there in the tussle.

as cute as the mental image is, I'm having trouble imagining a cat willing to go to the trouble of knocking around a hat until it gets in a good position for it to wrangle it onto its head with no thumbs. much less keep it on. I think it would end up with a sore neck from having a human-sized hat on...

Don't assume you can stave off hunger with transmuted potions of water, either - you still have to chop chunks. I learned the hard way. Although water potions are fine as smoke bombs. it might be my imagination, but i always seem to do a nice bit of damage to jellies with any potion that defaults t...

let's see how well YOU latch a heavy cloak's clasp with no thumbs.

I've been playing on and off since .3 or .4(can't remember exactly) so I'm not exactly *new* to it, but i guess i'm just a slow learner having fun with it. I have gotten *one* rune before, in the nebulous time just after adding shoals back to trunk and before nerfing AC. it was, in fact, the shoals ...

back before the AC nerf i had a MDFi that found a +2 dwarven plate on DL1. i don't remember dying too quickly, actually. i think that was the first time i breached Lair. of course, i was cocky as all getout and decided to lean on the direc tional keys against a whole herd of yak. yeah, it was dumb.
