I keep thinking how much fun this would be, and how suitable the Crawl engine is for it.
Race - You'd pick your basic body type: robot, mutant, alien, unpowered human, etc. This would determine the power sets you could choose from.
Class - This would be more elaborate than in Crawl, since your powers would be mostly fixed from the start. There could be a choice between rolling a random set of powers, or custom designing your hero Champions style.
Powers would work pretty much like spells do.
Sidekicks and super teams are covered by the summoned creature mechanic.
Items would be much as they are in Crawl, though rarer. If you're a tech hero, you could design new items. A Superman type would do without.
Dungeon floors and branches would be different areas you patrolled. You'd start out beating on petty criminals in an urban neighbourhood, and by the end would be fighting a global crime army at their Antarctic base, or thrashing Galactus in orbit around Alpha Centauri. Space, undersea, desert, alien worlds.
Instead of Temple you'd discover a cool cave/mansion and build your secret hideout. Stashing would thus be more elaborate than in Crawl.
The gods system might be done away with, or restricted to certain hero types - Thor, Green Lantern etc.
Co-operative online play.
Et cetera.

Posted: Saturday, 29th October 2011, 11:49Zombies always leave corpses and revive after some time.
If your character is damaged by a zombie(even if the attack deals zero damage and is blocked by AC) you get the *INFECTED* status. Once infected, your character dies after a random amount of turns and revives as a zombie. Undead players are immune to infection and will gain a permanent ROT status instead.
You can play with a new character and meet your old zombified character instead of a ghost.
Additionally, zombies attack other monsters. Living monsters are also infected and turn into zombies themselves.
Good luck in surviving the Zot Zombie Apocalypse!
Oh, it's already Walking Dead season 2, gotta watch! See you folks!

Just like all the other statues, except instead of being shaped like a minotaur or floating eye or whatever, it's shaped like a choko!
And if you play as a Kenku Hunter, you can find powerups in them, like the Mice Beam (a wand which fires an endless stream of mice to assault the enemy), or the Scrooge Attack (a sling which uses your gold as ammunition)!

It prevents spellcasting (in a very elegant way).
It prevents eating and drinking (look above).
It protects you from unholy pain and torment (it's not that you don't feel it, more like not being able to scream in agony).
It is red. (No shit!?)
Lola approves the use of this item.

Scroll of Destroy Item -- Sucks when you mistake it for Enchant Armour. Great when you need to get rid of wielded distortion.
Scroll of Petrification -- Has the same effect of calcifying dust.
Scroll of Ineptitude -- Lose 1d4 levels off your highest skill.
Scroll of Nonsense -- Suffer a random miscast.
Scroll of Wrath -- Suffer a random divine retribution.
Scroll of Banishment -- Extremely rare. Either the ultimate escape item or the ultimate game ruiner.
Scroll of Earthquake -- Creates 5-10 rock walls in your LoS.
