(a) Have one mechanism. Always additive seems better to me (increases variance; variance is good). But either one is fine. It's actually the other way around. As a simple example, compare the variance of throwing two die and summing the result, vs throwing 1 dice and mult the result by 2. More exac...

Replace him with Sieglinde and Make Crawl Great Again.
It's the only reasonable thing to do. We already have precedent with Dowan & Duvessa, after all.

I see it as more of an attempt at a joke without having really thought through the ramifications. It happens all the time. One should give the benefit of the doubt. Surely not something to get worked up about.

C'mon guys, the OP was obviously joking.

I sympathize with the OP, my fellow Behoger. I, as a Torgist, resent the way the liberal media has been portraying our religion. We are often depicted as intolerant anti-magic book-burning zealots, which couldn't be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, we accept all forms of written expressi...

**Topic:** Trunk updates, 15 January 2020

I strongly disagreed with all of those changes, so I was quite convinced it was all true.

I guess is just a matter of time anyway.

Some of those are quite fun indeed, except for MuCK which I found rather testing (and took me more than 100k turns).

Some more ideas:
1. Gh of Gozag
2. Vp of Gozag
3. Sp of Chei

I certainly agree with that, yes

Why is this not in the game already?

I know this will sound like a crazy idea, but hear me out: What IF, instead of calling for a particular game feature to be removed, YOU merely stop using that feature? This would allow others who actually enjoy that feature to continue having fun with it, instead of seeing it removed from the game a...

Thank you. I think it's very classy.

It will send an email with the form contents to the entity selected in the 1st field of the form.

I have come to despise Xom's polymorph addiction. I actually like it, but I can agree it is really dangerous at times. For instance, stay the hell away from Gastronok if you're worshiping xom. Keep it outside your LOS at all times unless you want a caustic shrike in d6 or wherever that slug spawns....

Thank you all for your very valid input.
The form has been updated and improved. Please enjoy.

I don' t know if this has been said before, but if it hasn't, then it certainly should:
A big Thank You to whoever wrote the webtiles code. It's light, fast and it just works; all in just html. You sure know your stuff, man!

In order to make life easier for everyone, I've built a tool to expedite the process of removing stuff from dcss.

No need to thank me, I feel it's my duty to help.

I am not sure why randart spellbooks are bad but in my current Transmutations game I have the Book of Transfigurations 8 times after 4 runes (did slime and tombs before v5). Sine I wanted to use dragon form the first time I found it I was like "Fuck yeah!" by the 4th I was like "Jeez...

Before they removed enslavement, you could just cast invis for the stone giant, then enslave a couple of trolls. But enslavement got removed, probably because it didn't contribute to the optimal strategy or some such inane reason.

Meh I'm not impressed. I once won a 15 rune game as a felid without front and back paws and without both eyes. I killed stuff just by biting in random directions and moved about by casting blink.
jk. It was an amazing achievement, congrats!

Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked before.
How do I macro bind a key to a combination of commands that may contain CTRL. For example, how do I bind F6 to disable autopickup (CTRL+a)?

thanks

I think I'd like to see "dungeon crawl stone" removed from "dungeon crawl stone soup".
"dungeon crawl stone" is too long, adds nothing to the general mechanics except tedium, and stands in the way of optimal gameplay.

Lol, I thought I'm the only one who feels this way, since the Tavern seems to be too invested in the "Chei is bad" meme. Whaw, is there meme like that? Koreans think Cheibrados is at top tier especially to transmuters for it offers great survive, AOE, and enormous stats. Well, to be fair,...

Is it me now? Ok, hrmm... I like spriggans. Ok, I've said it. I like spriggans a lot. I mean, who wouldn't, right? They're tiny, nimble and vivacious; what's not to like? So lately I've started playing with them. It's actually very easy, there's a website that gets you started. I've played with lots...

Enemies should just automatically rot into toadstools after a few turns as Fedhas. This seems like it would be more annoying than just hitting p though when you actually want the toadstools. It would also cause a ton of clutter on screen when you don't want the toadstools. I don't think it works we...

I really like it, and think is a lot better than Riposte since it allows for interesting strategies. For flavor, I'd only add the following change (this also should apply to Riposte in its current form): 1. Make it work only for 1-handed long blades and only if not wearing a shield. Otherwise it's t...

Good point, but the vast majority of those tp's were while in the abys, and just because I could. Overall the game gave me 7 or 8 recharge scrolls and a tp wand. Together with the tele scrolls, I could have easily tp'd more than 30 times, which would have sufficed. It helped but wasn't essential. As...

Hi, does anyone know where I can get the list of XP per each monster?
Even if it's in the git codebase, it should be more or less centralized, no?

Thanks in advance
