[miles OT] new dogscoff fanfic- for another game
 

For those few of you who like reading my fanfic, I thought I'd direct you all to a very littel something I wrote on rec.games.roguelike.nethack

Nethack, for those that don't know it, is a fantastic open-source game about 4 genres and 20 years south by south-west of se4. It's a dungeon-crawler basically: swords, magic, orcs, dragons etc. I normally avoid writing fantasy-genre stuff like the plague (it all gets too samey imho) but I just had to put this into words. Only took me an hour or so this morning.

Enough talk, on with the story:

GAME & STORY SPOILER: For those who don't know nethack, it's common to cast a "create monster" spell to generate random beasties out of thin air, simply so that you can kill them and sacrifice their bodies to your heathen deities/ eat their corpses/ steal their possessions/ various other nefarious reasons.

Other than that, really good story. Liked it very much. I didn't know Nethack was open-source.....?

Thanks for pointing me on this, you made me give it a try (as the old Morrowind-Addict I am).
