Generic Brainstorming!

[Grimm]

Not so fast!

[Confidence Interval]

You beat me to it!

[chukamok]

Now that's cleared up, what about this everyone-gets-haste idea? Sounds great to me!

Won't that lead to an excessive amout of waste?

[Confidence Interval]

Waste or haste?

[yogaFLAME]

"Baddies"?

dudes

[Confidence Interval]

"Baddies"?

dudes

Bad dudes.

Now that's cleared up, what about this everyone-gets-haste idea? Sounds great to me!

Won't that lead to an excessive amout of waste?

Yeah but if you hesitate you'll lose the game. PARADOX

Not merely the game...

Yes.

new monster: maggot brain

Does it spawn with atomic dogs?

[Grimm]

No but Old Gregg makes a cameo appearance.

[Grimm]

new race: jester

[Tarp]

New Unique: Karny the Killer Klown
He;s twice as chaotic as those other Klowns.

[Grimm]

What units are used to measure chaos?

[Pereza0]

Xohms

[BlackSheep]

Is that in metric Xohms or imperial Xohms?

[prozacelf]

I'd have to think Xom would prefer non-metric units whenever possible....

[Jabberwocky]

Terence's flavor text should mention him being an ancient, long forgotten playwright who is adventuring in the dungeon to bring attention to his plays. (yes I understand only about 5 people will get the joke)

[cerebovssquire]

Ha ha ha that's hilarious

[Jabberwocky]

Vampiric carrot

[Tarp]

The bad thing is that would actually improve his flavour.

[cerebovssquire]

Well yeah early uniques in general are really bad, with a couple exceptions... all these generic melee monsters and Sigmund is basically an orc wizard. He probably still shouldn't be changed because he's so iconic, but you could for instance guarantee that Ijyb spawns with one of the "minor" wands (say slowing, confusion, magic darts, flame, frost) in order to make him at least somewhat different from a gnoll with a club. "Ijyb with wand" are pretty much the only encounters one remembers anyway.

[chukamok]

In Soviet Russia, wacky thread-derailing posts of a drily humorous tone make YOU!

[Grimm]

That makes sense.

[Tarp]

CHOKOS OF CHOK-- Oh, snap.

Branded food!

You eat the choko. It was a choko of choking! You die...
The sultana explodes! Ouch! That really hurt!
It was a banana of slipping. Sigmund cuts himself!
It was a royal jelly of degeneration...

Also Minotaurs should be berserked whenever they see a red ugly thing.

MC is truly the king of games. There must be elements of it that could be fruitfully added to Crawl.
