Finally a fork that isn't afraid to give players more of what they want! New character selection with more updates coming soon!

The zot teleport nerf is making me quit trunk for a while. I've gotten killed by tele traps in zot5 a few times, it feels very cheap compared to a typical crawl death.

It's one of those weird d&d things that's still in the game for whatever reason

4. expect everyone to play tiles That's probably the prevalent attitude, otherwise the whole "console players can't tell who has a polearm or distortion dagger unless they use x all the freaking time" problem would have been fixed a long time ago. The current warning system doesn't work i...

imo the same is true of IE, Wz, FE, Cj, EE (probly AE too, I haven't played many) only more so and their attacks work on more enemies.

dynamic difficulty in a roguelike sounds really unsatisfying to me

not sure if this would make you feel better, but you can pretend they're of the "super giant" breed who look like little alligators

FR: leopard geckos drop their tails when threatened and the tail flops around and distracts you for a turn

I like the idea of a race with mutation affinity. I'd like if Demigods had a 75/25 chance to get a good/bad mutation from chunks/potions. It's not a OP idea, requires very little coding, and makes Dg a little bit more interesting. The thing that makes Dg unattractive to new players is that getting ...

Trump isn't that (openly)homophobic, compared to many of his party members. His VP, on the other hand... just about the worst you could get. Not super thrilled as a gay man to be living in a country where the VP believes gay conversion therapy works It's even worse than that, early in his campaign ...

rub it in why don't you :(

just voted for hillary and legal weed yall

gkill means when your own ghost kills a player iirc

There is no noticeable reward for clearing a lung of zot:5, since the only thing left in the game after that is to move to the D:1 stairs, and skills are essentially irrelevant for that. I'm not sure, I consider "not being surrounded by fast dangerous monsters the moment I pick up the orb and ...

Possibly the worst amulet I've ever found

the amulet "Zarouzew" {Harm *Drain *Slow +Blink rElec rPois}

Code:: You block the shock serpent's attack. The shock serpent bites itself! The shock serpent's electric aura discharges, shocking the shock serpent! The shock serpent is killed!

if it has meat and bread and it's portable and the restaurant calls it a sandwich then its a freakin sandwich you god damned nerds :p Next time I eat a cornish pasty I will briefly consider whether it counts as a sandwich, then remember that I don't give a shit because playing Definition Police abou...

The word "butty" (a reference to the fact that butter is often used in British sandwiches) is common in some northern parts of England as a slang synonym for "sandwich", particularly to refer to certain kinds of sandwiches including the chip butty, bacon butty, or sausage butty,...

I'm interested in joining any relatively casual clan that wouldn't mind me just playing a bunch of wanderers :)

You must be joking if you think you need education in game design to design a good game. Game design courses are relatively new and also have very low credibility. Most Top game designers did not have an education in game design and the reason they are in their position is either do to their artist...

Interesting. I'm going to have to try wearing it on a xbow focused HO or something.

I have some german blood, but I'm speaking from my experiences with germans who became american citizens.

I think sometimes you guys just have trouble understanding the very subtle and dry sense of humor many native Germans have. I've seen lots of serious replies to posts that seem tongue-in-cheek to me.

A Crawl Player Upon Seeing His Character's Damage Numbers
Donna Stevens, 2015

[quote="HardboiledGargoyle"]In anti-number rhetoric, it is the very precision of numbers that gets bashed. oh looky, here's what happens when you use fine bars and omit numbers (feat. squinting): http://i.stack.imgur.com/pb3ay.png Clip Size: Strawberry Reserve: Choko

lol more like trying to convince him that potions of curing are actually potions of autism because the devs are in bed with the potion manufacturers :p

Keep in mind that it took more than SIX YEARS of Stone Soup to get rid of the victory dancing bullshit This is a volunteer project.

Also, eff OOD spawns, excessive farming and scumming dungeon floors should result in random god wrath summoning effect. You're in the Dungeon for their amusement, after all! This could be tied into the idea of Xom-style effects replacing traps, the effects would get worse as you spend 1000+ or whate...

Hungerless crawl forks and patches have been around for at least a year. This argument re: food has been going even longer and nothing has happened to address it other than interface-oriented half-measures. At the end of the day, if you want to do something about this, you have to be willing to tak...

by the way, briar patch is pretty cool but we gotta get the bed of nails capstone ability! ***** Active: Bed of Nails: Spines emerge from the ground across LOS which act like Leda's Liquefaction + barbs for all monsters walking across them (costs mp and piety) bad ass that's cool and all but it jus...

Right, so the theoretical optimal player refreshes it whenever there is no danger. It has hunger cost. Notice how I mentioned that it is a huge buff to TeBe. I found ring of flight in my last game as TeBe so I evoked it even before XL 7, then I started activating racial ability and both ways preven...

Imo give Te permaflight and EV bonus from turn 0, and get rid of the stupid speed boost. EV or HP can be increased if that's too big of a nerf. Nobody thinks it would be a good idea to make gargoyles AC boost an active ability, so why is tengu's EV boost, other than that's the way it has always been...

Chunks used to be divided by species so you would get "chunk of kobold meat" as a unique item compared to "chunk of human meat". This happened with uniques, too, so you could eat a chunk of sigmund or raise a zombie sigmund instead of the generic species title you get in new vers...

Is Gozag L Ron Hubbard, Joel Osteen or some unholy spawn of them both?

Maybe make it so Fedhas recall only recalls one shroom per 10 aut, that wouldn't be too powerful and would solve the problem of not knowing which floor you lost your shrooms on.

Bonoface, God of Stupid-Looking Sunglasses

Bonaparte, God of Overcompensation

Awesome! I want all of those titles on my win list except the weird pakellas one.

Did every god have a penance title? I've never seen them in any title list before, even the old ones with all the jokey titles linley made

You should fight ironbrand convokers with other enemies in sight so they waste turns casting Might Other instead of calling more enemies.

Didn't it used to be 33/50/66 and then it changed to be consistent with r-?

In my new pay-to-win crawl fork you can pay $49.99 for the new Ultra Deluxe Platinum Nemelex Box, containing up to 10000 zotmids AND a chance to unlock 6-star gods like Trog or Fedhas!

my local convenience store chain has a jerrys kids donation box so you can at least feel good about the extremely marginal effect your $0.11 has on someone elses life. Taking your mental health and sense of self-worth into account, that rly seems more optimal than just taking your $20 of change to t...

It would be more satisfying to play mages if they didn't have strange, non-obvious line of sight requirements. Like, you cast a Conjure Flame and close the door. You think the undead hydra or whatever it is on the other side is going to blindly plow into the flame, stop because it can't figure out ...

I've always found it weird how people use that FF10 scene as an example of how bad the voice acting is.
