    It would be insane to try to turn this into yet another ADOM document at this point. The horrible format of the Guidebook -- which predates the popularity of wikis, so I'm not blaming Andy Williams...

    Holy hell, you guys hit the goal!

    And only minutes ago, what a coincidence that I happened to check right when it hit $48,001! It's now over $48,100.

    Wisdoms. I have been thinking of doing a mad alchemist character one of these days. The best part is that every useless herb you pick is actually totally useful.

    Don't hang out in the big room with low-level characters. That place can get out of hand. And the negatives on trolls really outweigh the positives.

    What does "mobs" mean?

    I'm asking entirely out of idle curiosity, but this has stuck out to me for the several years I've followed this place and brinkster.

    Why do you guys say "mobs" when you clearly mean "monsters"?...
