An Incredibly Unfair Death: I'm really really pissed but mostly frustrated, because this is the worst, most lame death ever, and was totally uncalled for. And it had to happen to the one SpBe I got some nice equipment and awesome mutations early on. So I'm running around in D:8 casually and it's on...

Cursed Deck of Punishment - Immune to remove curse scrolls. Dare you draw a new card? There's no other way to free your hands.

XuaXua wrote:Is EVERY unidentified ring of Hunger or Teleportation CURSED by default?

I ask because sometimes a GOOD ring is cursed, but I don't believe I ever find either of the above rings UNCURSED.

I can confirm that I've equipped an uncursed unidentified ring of hunger at least once.

@Zelkelion Well, as you probably already know, Minmay is quite a bit rough around the edges when it comes to arguing, from what I've seen of him so far. But I don't take anything personally, of course. He is right about Xom being a douche, after all CK is a greyed-out background for all species. ;) ...

When I play Crawl, I'm playing like 10 hours or so. Well, I play too much in general, anyway. On my first and only win so far, the game started around midnight and lasted about 9 hours if i''m right.

You know, I hear if you sharpen it, a club is a very decent stabbing weapon (rumoured to one-shot vampires of all kinds).

FeFE of Fe, preferably named Iron Cat or something.

It is like making cut-outs in a kindergarten (and some userbars have the same quality). Try making a few and remember that sometimes you should stay minimal. But still you should keep your work finished: it should be distinctly separated from the outer page (with a border or a hint of it -- my bigb...

@MyOtherHedgeFox Oh yeah I've seen plenty of those on other forums, so I guessed you meant this. :) I've never made one before though, lol. This is the first forum I'm actively participating quite a bit. Some useful info about sizes there, thanks yet again. Actually English isn't my mother language,...

He does it all the time, Okawaru too. As I read somewhere, only weapon acquirement gets you a guaranteed weapon on anything you have weapon skill over 8.

Try "making" some userbars from the existing sprites for training, TehDruid. If you don't mind hacked stuff, I'd recommend using Macromedia Fireworks 8 instead of a Photoshop -- Fireworks has excellent support of animated GIF files paletted semi-transparent PNG files. Besides, you can use...

:( I was looking forward to your victory post! You seem to have a knack for making it with unusual combos (talking about DEBe :P). I tried the combo yesterday again but only 1 of them made it to the temple and then I couldn't build any decent piety fast and I had a crappy dagger of venom again. They...

Thx MyOtherHedgeFox! I'm a long ways away from knowing how to use layers masterfully yet. I'm gonna try it on the next page when I do it although I think there might be an option to create a shadow automatically for the font. Also I guess I should make those pages larger since everything seems to be...

Gah! The pixels, they don't scale right! Seriously, the sprite nerd in me weeps. Some of those squares are quite clearly rectangles. :ugeek: (...and there's probably a font nerd out there crying over your choices in that department as well, but thankfully that's not me. :P ). Good luck! Remember, t...

This is by no means going to be a spectacular attempt at a comic strip with hand drawn art, since I'm no artist (digitally or on paper). Still I'd like to try it out and hopefully make some people laugh in the process. :mrgreen: Anyway, here's a brief introduction to the main character of the upcomi...

What kind of stash are we talking about? Porn collection? Weed? Some other word considered offensive?

Haha I think I was inspired by the same thread to attempt this combo yesterday, but the only one that lived long enough to pick a god was an Ashenzari follower because I got an altar on D:1. He made it through most of Lair and Orc and finally died to something around D:15 cause my weapon was a +3+6 ...

Troves can have incredibly mundane loot. :cry:

SpFi of Ash - Had a crappy venom dagger with which I was trying to kill monsters at lvl 15. Needless to say, the run was prety much a nightmare. Didn't get any good books to try spells...

Funnily enough, it's better advice to go for Xom if you want mutations, than Jiyva. The benefits are too situational, which frankly is annoying. Of course Xom's mutations are like 50-50 good/bad. They should tweak Jiyva to only remove your beneficial mutations if you have more than a bunch already.....

Yeah, he tends to spam paralysis on me too... If you have an amulet of stasis wear it. :P I can escape him most of the times though. Run to the nearest staircase and hopefully he might also blink away from you so you can escape easily. I find early uniques with a Wand of Fire (the big one) totally u...

My favorite arch nemesis would be Mennas, especially if I'm playing demonspawn/undead and he spawns with an Eudemon blade and a randart shield. Mennas is that kind of unique where you really have to watch what equips they have on, since when I get a Mennas carrying a large shield it's almost imposs...

I rolled a TrCK to see how far I could go, and found a bottled efreet at some point. I uncorked it, and the efreet became my ally.

It all comes down to what kind of person you are. As people have already told you in this topic, they (and I for that matter) get much more satisfaction for beating a game without saves etc. Play Diablo on hardcore mode, for example, and you'll notice that the way you act in the whole game changes. ...

D:10 is when I get my first unseen horror on almost every game and most of the times I lack the SInv to fight it effectively.

I wouldn't like you to be able to pick Jiyva as a starter god, but getting an altar for sure in the early game would be pretty cool. Sure, jellies will eat your stuff, but then, that's a thing you already knew when you worshipped the god at the first place! I don't see why it's so criminal to allow ...

Is it too similar to Oblivion? I wasn't terribly fond of it. Felt kinda boring and the monsters levelling up with you made it even more lame. It was easier to stay at lvl 1 and do stuff rather than lvl up... Dragon Age: Origins, although very lame in some aspects (no explorable sandbox universe, cha...

@OP Drama queen! Jk jk. :P Well, you should DEFINITELY use Heroism when you're about to fight something that could put quite a dent on you or even kill you if you don't use it. Coupled with Finesse later on when you face a hydra for the first time, for example. Heroism is a staple for any Oki worshi...

MOAR!!!!! O.o I lol'ed when I saw my Power Rangers post on youtube. xD And, well, chokos of choking, naturally. :mrgreen:

Would it be a bad idea to make a portal that appears in early to mid game, with jellies, amoebas, brown slimes and maybe even shapeshifters? Maybe some bigger threats too, depending on depth. A reason for making such a portal: It would give aspiring worshippers another chance to get their god of cho...

Congrats XuaXua!

It's been a month or so since my first win and haven't managed to make it again, lol.

My best run with a Xom character was a Mummy Wizard. Didn't make it through the lair, but oh well. Mephitic cloud confusing monsters and making them attack each other is a good way to keep him amused.

One of the last things you want to see when opening a door on L 2. http://i.imgur.com/VJFhx.png ...this is a minmay vault, right? It's got to be a minmay vault.

Not really a [PROTIP] imho, but... Even though you can't butcher corpses with a Spear/Trident/Demon Trident, you can with a Halberd/Glaive/Bardiche, since they inflict slashing damage instead of piercing. This also means they multiply hydrae heads too, unless flaming branded, so be careful. This als...

Thanks a lot, both of you guys! I'll see what I can do.

EDIT: I made my first artifact appear in game, cheers!

Hello! I've been playing this game for more than a year (or has it been more? hm...) and recently I got this urge to create some artifacts (for flavour's sake mostly), for my own, personal use. Problem is, I have almost no idea of how to program. Could you be so kind as to inform me where and more i...

Now, the "funny" thing about the pig form, is you can't use potions, scrolls, wands and all your armour except your necklace becomes useless. Also I don't know how long it lasts. Maybe you have to kill her to break it. But the thing is, if you're a pure melee character without a decent UC...

Don't underestimate Kirke! Just because you tend to own her fast in most games doesn't mean she can't bring you down.

How can someone add their own unrandarts and make them eligible to generate in a game?
