Yeah, I had an overexposure to Crawl, lost one one my long-running characters through a stupid mistake, and had to play other things for a while.
Funny thing is, I still continued to keep video-game masochism in my diet with the wonderful Dark Souls; and then me and my mates suddenly had a conversation about the potential real-life benefits of Alistair's Intoxication the other day, and suddenly I'm booting up Crawl again yesterday.
I've skipped over 0.9 and will wait to 0.10 before updating, still playing 0.8 myself. (Well, saves me having to update the tiles again with Drakahn to replace Draconians!)
Laughed a bit reading over all the comments about Dwarves leaving. I too feel the better approach would be to modify rather than remove; alot of the similar races could be made different if melee was made more feature-loaded, since Crawl is very magic focused, but... as long as these Forge Dwarves or whatnot make their way in instead I've no problems in the end. I certainly can see the need to distance from Tolkien; but not the abject hate of it; what's wrong with just going 'Our Dwarves are different?'.
Anyway, off-topic, ho! It's nice to be back. I've probably posted this one before somewhere, but to stay on topic I have no other funnies right now:
Dragons are orcs too!
