Someone over at Blizzard is a Dungeon Crawl fan. They're adding the Last Deck of Nemelex Xobeh to World of Warcraft.

Re: Last Deck of Nemelex Xobeh

I'd be interested in learning what that item does - the twitter account mentions at least 10 effects, and describes what two of them do.
On IRC my nick is reaverb. I play online under the name reaver, though.

No, because those who don't already know crawl won't get the reference.

I'll just wait here for the first WoW player to discover Crawl and call out DCSS for stealing the NX name / deck "concept".

Re: Last Deck of Nemelex Xobeh

According to Senior Game Designer Jeremy Feasel (Muffinus) this item spawns several distinct possible effects on use:
This one is a fun one, I think you all will enjoy it :) It does... many things...
Last Deck effect 8: Summons 10 cows to fight for you. "You have drawn: The Herd."
Effect 10: Berserkitis. Increases damage dealt AND damage taken by 50%. "You have drawn: The Barbarian."


Pretty cool.

Re: Last Deck of Nemelex Xobeh

its when you need to boil water, but dont have a metal or stone recipient, so you put the water in a any recipient and puts a very hot stone in it. it will make the water boil and solve your problem. im Brazil thats called Sopa de Pedra, or Stone Soup. :geek:

EDIT: it is also a cool portuguese legend:
Some travellers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty cooking pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the hungry travellers. Then the travellers go to a stream and fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. The travellers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the flavour, which they are missing. The villager does not mind parting with a few carrots to help them out, so that gets added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the travellers again mention their stone soup which has not reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all.
another EDIT: you can actually eat Stone Soup in portugal, it became a tipical dish based on the legend. ok, now I'm finished.

Yeah, the portuguese legend makes more sense as the origin of dcss's name, since it's the open source, community built, dungeon crawl.

I remember that story from the third grade, so I always understood it to be in reference to that.

hmmm I've always associated that story with Aesop. but apparently* it is middle European legend that changes in detail from language(country) to language. I don't recall where I read it originally but I know it was in a collection of like-minded stories.


* (according to this article on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Soup where it actually mentions DCSS.

You may be astonished, but there is a similar story in Rusian folklore. And instead of portuguese traveller, there was a man who made a porrige with the axe instead of stone.
Also checked wiki, it's ok for Northern folks to have story about AXE SOUP!

I knew the version with French soldiers during Napoleonic wars, that I see that is also mentioned in the wikipedia.

Re: Last Deck of Nemelex Xobeh

It's been a few years since I last played wow, but they now have buffs that are limited based on your location? So you can have some extreme buff but it's non-raid only?
