Maybe you're aware of this already, but sacrificing one gold at a time is made more convenient by using the "Repeat last command" key [']. That's probably the only use I have for it, but it can...

Every now and then I return to a game called Ragnarok, a roguelike (with graphics) from 1992. It's based on Norse mythology. There is a simple bigger story with quests.There are several world planes...

It's funny that there are now so many hints about where the player should go. As a first time player I realised pretty quickly that the CoC were important. The cave is in the middle of the map and...

I didn't read any spoilers before my first win. I did use savescumming, carried the black tome of Alsophocus with me until the end, and didn't remove my corruptions before leaving the area. Still,...

Ungh thank everyone for kind communication!

I've finished the game enough times now to want to come up with something different when writing about it. I was quite lucky with the Haggar cave...

The Ballad of an Adom Fighter

A fighter I was born by trade
and when I could I laws obeyed.
Neutrality I always sought,
the thieves and raiders gladly caught.

So when I heard there was a...

By a chance or whim Ungh was born a troll. Noble parents teach Ungh deconstruction. Trolls good at smashing things. Ungh talk teachers about Derrida. Everyone confused! Ungh become a mindcrafter.

If you hover your mouse cursor over the footnotes on that page you can see that most of the features have been already implemented. In adom.cfg there's the Auto_Swap_Neutral option. Controlled...

You could go to the assassins guild level 2 and use your scroll of item detection to find the wand of teleportation. As a mindcrafter you don't even need the pick axe to get it. That should be a big...

There does seem to be something strange with the messages being displayed. For example, sometimes there are duplicates or skill rise messages in the middle of normal ones.

You could try setting...

I'm guessing you want to edit the configuration file adom.cfg. It should be located at


%USERPROFILE%\Documents\ADOM\adom_dat\adom.cfg (Windows 7)

~/.adom.data/adom.cfg (Linux)

Just add...

In the midgame I think things are pretty good except for the Minotaur Maze which still seems too much of a drag. The CoC have a decent amount of special levels to remain interesting. Maybe a little...

Ever since the negative feedback received at Ancardia Board of Tourism regarding our public amenities, there's been a constant effort to revamp the area. Indeed, in the last 3 years we've even seen a...

Actually I did find the bow (uselessness gift) and arrow (casino) but you're right, didn't have much use for archery in the game except against Emperor Liches etc. Bracers of war I missed though, as...

I usually don't play chaotic characters but now I decided to try the Chaos Knight class to see if it would give a different experience. And sure it did! At times I wasn't sure what I was going to do...

Reading a spellbook takes quite a while, so I think it contains more than a simple incantation. Maybe with each spell one has to learn unique ways to connect to the mana flow and the elements but...

Another Hitchhiker reference:


You stumble upon a statue. It resembles the trout jumping out of the river. An inscription at the bottom reads: "Thanks for all the fish".


And immediately...

I had a really promising character, a dwarven priest born in the month of Sword (pretty poor stats though). I headed first into the SMC and in the second room found

uncursed eternium halberd of...

I can't give you the solution you're looking for because whenever I have a permissions problem on Linux I usually just chmod 777 everything :D. Not the wisest move perhaps but I'm impatient. Besides,...

Ah yes, I've been there in one of the games very soon after weapon affixes were introduced. I think I was a paladin or an archer and found what I recall was an eternium two-handed sword of...

Weary Traveller! Tired of hunting in the wilderness on the brink of starvation? Fed up with Munxip's limited selection of goods? At Happy Wyrm Inn we welcome you to the first proper restaurant in...

The backward, ungrateful, parochial people of Drakalor Chain (Rant)

Ever since I came to Drakalor Chain I have had nothing but misfortune. I originally came here having heard of the beautiful...

In a recent game I was assigned ratling master thief, but luckily I found him quite quickly while doing something else. I can't remember what would be the rarest monster but I remember one time I was...

At first I was not very happy of this ending but now I can appreciate it for what it is. In a way it's nice to learn things the hard way. From my first win i can remember three things:

1. I...
