Just to re-emphasize.

My one win was with Executor. I couldn't conceive of sacrificing it... I think it's one of the best items in the game. It especially becomes useful in the late game even for...

I've always liked horror myself. my favorite all time author is Brian Lumley, who wrote the 'Necroscope' series. The first book is actually the worst of the series, and even that one is pretty good....

Happy Birthday!

Hahaha... I am blessed. I'm returning from a 3 month ADOM hiatus (a vacation after my first win) to create a character or two, and it just happens to be Creators Day. :D

I think...

My goodness... did I write something that could be responded to with that? I've been playing this game too much lately! :D

After this, I damn near lost my first ever winner as he was heading back up to the surface in a similar fashion. What saved me is that the Ooze was scared off by my unholy aura after paralyzing me.
...

What's wrong with it? Are you going for an ultra ending of some type? Because the Invisibility intrinsic is awesome!

I've only ever had it once... my PC drank from a pool and got it before he'd...

Oh, no... this one was winnable! I just got my first win with a troll who, at this stage of the game, was weaker than this. He was only level 24 when he won and left the Drakalor Chain.

I think...

I'm just glad my 'virtual manure' comment didn't fall on deaf ears... it's comic gold, baby! :cool:

Don't forget loading hay on to wagons... I've already got the commands down for that. Move, pick...

There's good alternatives to being an adventurer that don't involve shovelling virtual manure.

If you become wealthy and influential (by whatever path) you can still control a lot of goings on by...

He won without any real problem. I forgot to mention I had Executor and a speed around 165 ;)

A troll isn't my usual style of character at all, but I won't be choosy for my first win. I actually...

Never mind... I just tried now with a melee character - a level 19 Trollish Monk. I play my characters on a rotational system so a death doesn't piss me off as much :)... it's moot now because I've...

I just got to the mana temple for the first time with a level 40 Necromancer, and got *utterly* destroyed. Seriously, how do you beat that? It's harder than all of the other temples put together. I...

A quick addition to this -

You can tell if an item is cursed or not by dropping it on a co-aligned altar. It'll tell you, as long as your god isn't too mad at you.

Holy water is only created...

I play my characters in a rotational kinda system... I've never won but I've got 2 who are past the ToEF and have a real shot at winning. I used to have 3 until 15 minutes ago.

Anyway, I had this...

Well, the idea is that places near a city would always be reasonably safe, unless something earth shattering happens to that city. But if you want to try and make bigger profits by selling your...

I like all of this, especially your principle surrrounding 3... we should account for the actions of NPC adventurers and militia. And likewise, large quantities of orcs, undead, and whatever other...

Smithing can easily unbalance this game. It didn't in ADOM, because time is a bit of a factor in ADOM, and it's generally a pain in the a** to get all the necessary gear together. In JADE, you can...

You could have lots of basic goblin caves, but scumming/boredom could be solved by having the dungeon be destroyed when the last monster is killed and you exit. Kinda like the Ogre Caves in ADOM. So...

My 'current' game ended last night on D:24, when my level 19 Paladin who was a champion of balance backed a panicked mimic hivemind into a corner. I decided to finish it off with melee since I had...

I didn't like the sound of this when I first read it, but JADE could be really awesome if we have a bunch of random quests along with 50-60 unrelated specific quests designed by the community. As...

I was in the military during the first gulf war in 1991. I never left the US, nor did I even go on a ship despite the fact that I was in the Navy for 4 years. Nonetheless, I'm considered to be a...

If I read this right, it sounds a lot like an old game called Legacy of the Ancients. It had a bunch of portals, and you kind of went from episode to episode.

In fact, this type of thing doesn't...

Bah. The character died anyway. I tried taking out the Assassin Prince because I was in that awkward phase where I wasn't quite powerful enough for the ToEF, but I'd done everything else.

I'd...

What exactly do they do? I know the tract of law might remove corruption, but other than that...

I have a blessed tract of balance and I'm a N= character who isn't far away from getting crowned,...

I guess the principle is the same no matter what is used. I had suggested survival because I see it as being able to detect tracks (hence monster types and levels) and other signs of recent...
