Christmas and New Year's Eve Challenges?

[kapak44]

Hello guys, so Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve is coming up, and I'd like to see if we can make up a good challenge to follow to celebrate this holiday, now that ADOM is available on Steam.

Any ideas, or are we going to let this one through like Creator's Day?

Drink all the booze!! Then start playing.

Drink all the booze!! Then start playing.

And every time you take a drink in game, you take a drink in real life. And you must drink all the booze you find.

Hah.

On a more serious note, I actually had a proposed challenge a few years ago where the PC must immediately drink every potion of booze that he/she finds, but that was quickly shot down as a lame challenge. Any other ideas?

Well we could take it the next step and have the drunken brawler challenge, everyone make a dwarf barbarian and win the game unarmed while drinking all booze.

Maybe dwarf druid wielding 2h staff to resemble a santa claus. (beard + staff). Must go treasure hunter, master packager to get extra presents and carry a lots of it. Maybe several goals player must do as an act of santa claus. Like give candy to children, food to beggar, seed to farmers, booze to drunk. Plant a small garden in dwarf town. Save carpenter. Save puppy from the puppy cave alive. Maybe final goal to find amulet of life saving and save Khelevaster.

Thanks for the suggestions.

So the challenges that I have in mind so far are this:

Christmas Eve:
Make a dwarf druid/wizard (or any other dwarven class that starts out with a two handed staff).
Earn seven points by doing the following challenges, each of which are one point:
Give candy to a child in Terinyo and a child to Dwarftown.
Food to a beggar.
Seed to a farmer.
Booze to Yggaz.
Plant a small garden in the High Mountain Village.
Give a corpse worth at least 100 coins in bounty to Tywat Pare.
Save carpenter and give him two hatchets.
Give Blup a potion of carrot juice.
Save puppy from the puppy cave alive. (worth two points)
Find an amulet of life saving and save Khelevaster. (worth two points)

New Year's Eve:
Make a Dwarf Barbarian and win the game. Restrictions: Drink all the booze, and fight unarmed.

Are there any other interesting challenges that you would be WILLING to pursue? Since the challenges that have been designed in the past have been of little or no interest.

Here's some miscellaneous ideas...

-Roll a random character. Dive to the bottom of all six of the random dungeons, in any order. You may also visit Terinyo, Lawentheolil and VD as far as Jharod. Wilderness encounters should be avoided. If you need a climbing set to access one of the dungeons, you can get the Pyramid one, but you can't kill Rahetep

-On New Year's Eve, roll a wand merchant. Try to win the game using only wands.

-Same as above, except roll a potion merchant and win using alchemy and/or thrown potions.

-On Christmas Eve, roll a non-drakeling character in explorer mode, wish repeatedly for and drink cursed potions of -stat- and potential -stat- until all stats are at 1. Discard all of your inventory in the wilderness. See how far you can get.

Nice Ideas! I especially like the random dungeon concept, as I personal have not had a chance to look at them yet.

What about the arena challenge or a RRC? Does any sound appealing?

Tentative idea for New Year's Eve:
Dive to the bottom of all six of the random dungeons, in any order. You may also visit Terinyo, Lawentheolil and VD as far as Jharod. Wilderness encounters should be avoided. If you need a climbing set to access one of the dungeons, you can get the Pyramid one, but you can't kill Rahetep.

For every other place that you visit (which you must announce the moment that you enter any of them), a special corruption is randomly chosen, which you must abide by for the rest of your mission. Special corruptions are randomly selected from the following pool:

So do any of these challenges have enough interest? I will only hold them if people actually want to play those challenges, as response has been lackluster in previous years.
