Well, iirc they originally split off from the Safer Dungeon Society, who worshipped Elyvilon.

J - the ring of the Original Sin {rPois Int-4 Dam-6} (You found it in an ice cave) [ring of poison resistance] It affects your intelligence (-4). It affects your damage-dealing abilities (-6). The only context I could imagine for this item being remotely desirable is on a summoner with a staff of e...

Yeah, I also don't find the humour of Dredmore to be especially amusing. It tries too hard and is just a bit too quirky in its references; and I find myself (oddly), laughing at Crawl more, typically due to H**Y FCUK situations that I always seem to find myself in. Yeah, "trying too hard"...

Oh, for god's sakes. I just LOOOVE it when people are like, "been playing for a week, here's a 15 runer LOLOLOL". It's a herculean task for me to get that third rune. Hell, today I've been struggling to get dudes to freaking LAIR for some reason. Disregard my butthurt. What I meant to say ...

I really like Dredmor, but it honestly can't pull me away from crawl very often. I do like the humor in it though; crawl by comparison has its intermittent inside jokes, but it strives I guess more toward OMG IMMERSION!11one!!. I don't dislike crawl for that, and I even see Dredmor going a bit overb...

When I hit Zot 5 the first time, I had cleared out one of the lungs and was backtracking to go upstairs and rest. Splatted on an ancient lich myself, THREE STEPS from a staircase. He got between me and it. Good job on making it that far. Isn't it funny that what you feel right now is accomplishment ...

Hey, did you know your own Orbs of Destruction could miss their target, circle back around, and kill you seemingly out of pure spite? I love you too, crawl.

I don't play many Ogres, and I can count the number of times I've been to the bottom of Zot on one hand, so take this with a grain of salt... Giant Spiked Clubs, as I understand it, are the best weapons in crawl. Bar none. You'd need an amazing randart demon whip to top one, and then there'd be no w...

I had a fairly promising SETm of Kikubazooka, and had cleared Lair which is sort of means it's time to get invested. Seriously the Lair is like my very own version of smallpox: I don't bother remembering a name until the character has survived it. So my SETm has cleared it and has gotten decent gear...

Once upon a time (today, earlier) I roll up a DDNe in trunk with the intent of picking up kiku and checking out the new .10 version of twisted rez. Spillover (D:7): Geez D:7 already? Kiku is the only altar I haven't found! dum-de-dum... HEY! A Bailey! Spillover (Bailey): Aww shit, the star-shaped on...

Oh come on, isn't there room for one more sappy pun?

Can I hit myself with a dispersal dart for an emergency blink?

If I'm following Trog, can I use his "Burn spellbooks" ability to kill roxanne?

What. The devs changed spirit. :lol: That's what I get for not paying attention to the changelog :roll: I've been working under the assumption that it would still drain me of my mana at the single worst possible moment. It's now officially promoted to shallow water bait. Before it was like an eye of...

Can't say I've ever played any tabletop stuff, unless you count Magic: the Gathering which I played as a kid. The stories people tell about DnD, warhammer40k et al. are funny though. Plus, I didn't know there were Lovecraftian ones. Who knew? Those might be fun, but I'd have to find people and it's ...

I like vaults which make me scream profanities when I open the door. Case in point: I really hate bees (even after they become trivial later), yesterday I hit 5 Bee vaults in my game. I ended up with like 104 Honeycombs. Ditto with the wall-to-wall kobolds/orcs/whatever. Shoutitis vaults. The most f...

Only if they grant the ability to apport stuff & also guardian spirit. And the sith-themed one should carry rF--.

Faith is great on Gods like Nemelex, and good on gods where you burn piety fast though spamming , like Trog, Oka, and Makhleb. I'd assume that it would be likewise awesome on Kiku or vehumet if you found it early: climb to max piety, snag relevant spellbooks, ditch amulet. Honestly, It probably suck...

An Eveningstar of freezing named "tender mercy." Shhh, go to sleep Nikola. Here, have a love tap or six.

Also, a +3+4 rpois relec ring mail named "Oqay", found on D:5. It was pretty self-explanatory.

Donald says, "You're cheating. I hate that."

Thanks for all the input everybody. No sooner had I completed this kinda maudlin :cry: -styled post, than I managed to get my current XL-7 MiBe really rolling. I finally got 3 runes and succesfully escaped the Abyss (without the rune, unfortunately). I've never had a character capable of so utterly ...

I've been playing since .8, and I've noticed something: with every successive trunk update I seem to get worse instead of better. I'm not precisely sure what it is, I can typically get a dude to XL 7-ish before I either get careless or else brutally violated by the RNG. When I first started, I usual...

Crawl creepypasta. ONCE THERE WAS THIS GRIL IN HIGHSCHOOL WHO STARTED VICTORY DANCING NOW THAT YOU HAVE STARTED READING THIS YOU CANNOT STOP. THE GIRL STARTED PLAYING A COMPUTER GAME CALLED CRAWL AND EVERY DAY SHE PLAYED IT FOR LONGER AND LONGER. IT WAS A GAME WHERE IT HAD BLACK MAGIC AND THINGS IN...

Summon small chihuahuas. Honestly, that thing is good for more than just one clean chunk. If I ate it, I'd probably go from starving to very full.

Wow, didn't know coffee and soda were so exotic. You all sure are a sober bunch, aren't you? I feel like I'm burning my candle at both ends now. Hey hey hey, drink diuretics erry day.

Thurmund could be the oldest, and be said to have "political ambitions" in his flavor text. Also he supports segregation of Mountain Dwarves. I'd honestly kinda like to see a theme level (perhaps a rune vault?) where there is a bridge over a sort of Scylla/Sarlaac pit monster that sends th...

One time I found relatively good randart platemail named "Kona". Not that big of a deal to most people, except that my faithful dog as a kid growing up was named Kona. From that point on, the monsters could only hit me for sentimental damage: "The orc hits you but does no damage."...

Six levels deep, still no Ecumenical Temple. Still, my DSNe was doing reasonably well. An iguana zombie knocked him to around half health and I decided to bail. In hindsight, I silently rue forgetting to ID my scrolls, but I figure he can still run faster than a dead iguana. I round the corner with ...
