A variant of NetHack: Ancient Domains of Mystery

But still, NetHack is my favourite!!

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

ADOM rocks.

This is the official Angband page.

My favorite Angband variant is Cthulhu Angband.

But I haven't tried the sCthangband variant yet.

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

I like ADOM the best.

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

omg...

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

omg what? all the roguelikes, you never knew there were this many? or are you amazed that people actually play these games where a fierce blue dragon is represented by an 8 by 16 pixel capital "D"? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

haha no, i mean the amount of 'em

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

What do you mean, that's a priest? @ is supposed to be a ranger! A ranger can't possibly hurt me way over here...*priest gestures*...What? My +4 sword with +5 to speed just turned into a -10 and -8 to speed? RRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGH!

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

i don't think i had that much trouble.

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

My favorite stupid death in a roguelike game (no, it wasn't me) :
"OK, a maulotaur... let me teleport away... what ? Get off the keyboard you stupid cat ! No ! What's that ? Grrrrrrr... killed by a stupid cat.... (sigh)"

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

Whoever brought this topic up is responsible for the fact that I've wasted my entire day playing slash'em . http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Just lost a very good character on lvl 18.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif . I have never ascended a character, but I keep trying...

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

Weren't the best features of slash'em included in newer Versions of nethack?

Nethack's open source - you could add one (as was done for Slash'em)

"killed by a gecko while helpless"
beware of floating eyes, never hit them unless you're blind (and can sense the by other means), attack them with a ranged weapon and eat theirs bodies since they have magic properties.

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

You're also fine when the floating eye is blind. Cream pies (From Keyston Kops, sometimes in food stores, rarely in general stores [throw them]), expensive cameras (From Tourists, sometimes in general stores, sometimes in tool shops), lightning (wand or spell), and wands of blindness are good for that.

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

I still find new and exciting ways to die in Nethack http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif . Not long ago I got quite deep into the dungeon for the first time, and ran into a troll. After killing it for the fifth time I finally noticed it had a tendency to rise from the dead. So I decided to eat it, to dispose of the body.

You eat a troll corpse.
The bite covered troll rises from the dead.
you hit the troll.
you hit the troll.
You kill the troll.
There is a partly eaten troll corpse here, eat it (y/n):yes
You have trouble getting it all down. continue? (y/n): yes
You choke on the troll corpse. you die.
do you want your possessions identified?

And I didn't even know you could choke on your food http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

Tinning kits work great for fixing trolls. Once they are canned, they never come back.

Also, some pets (like purple worms or trappers) eat enemies whole; this also gets rid of trolls.

Stoning also works - cockatrice eggs (throw them), wielded or thrown (with gloves! - very important!) cockatrice corpse, or a pet cockatrice do this.

Also, anything a type of pet can do, you can do if polymorphed into that form.

Most embarassing ADOM death...

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

I'm too scared to play these; I just know I'd get hopelessly addicted. And then it would cut into my SE4 time, and that is completely unacceptable!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

It could cut into your sleeping time instead. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

I have too little of that to begin with; that's my excuse for spending all this time on SE4...

Have you seen these monstruos tilesets
http://www.freewebs.com/aesthetictech/absurd.htm
they make the 48x48 one I was woking on look tiny.

Re: [OT] rogue!
 

I have gotten scores in ADOM in the negative millions (!) due to becoming too corrupted with ChAoS http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif
