I'm fairly certain that chart was always speculative. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.
No, you were lucky, actually, as if you accidentally convert the altar, which is very easily possible when attempting to change your own alignment, it would have made the Priest and then the entire...
I'm assuming you dropped your stuff so you could sacrifice gold at the altar without risking having your equipment turned to dust?
It's risky to attempt to change your alignment by sacrificing at...
And only minutes ago, what a coincidence that I happened to check right when it hit $48,001! It's now over $48,100.
I'd like to say to everyone who donated that I'm grateful. I didn't, as I've...
The realistic answer is that there it a really ardently dedicated crowd of ADOM fans but it's just not that big of a group. Particularly after all this time without development -- but mostly due to...
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.
If you don't mind being spoiled a bit, any time you do alchemy without following a 'R'ecipe, you'll create a fireball. These can be used offensively, but of course they affect you too. You can...
I don't know if anyone's really tested this enough to be sure, but my experience suggests that the Winbetas are buggier than the other versions -- things seemed to go much better when I switched to...
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.
Indeed you did. Good that you got him before his brethren became intractable.
And luckily, you'll find that the slot machines tend to pay out way more than you put in on average.
You can read a blessed scroll of identify right before you inform Thrundarr you've finished his first quest -- and he doesn't get a clue and give you a better prize instead. Also, if you have...
If you're literate, he doesn't give it to you. He identifies all your items instead. I suppose someone may have gotten it, eaten a dark sage corpse, and then drunk it just to see what happens but...
Yeah, hang out in the Big Room for a bit and see if one gets generated there. It seems like summoners are particularly common there, it shouldn't take long. Dark elven priestesses are common enough...
You have to do it early in the game, so do it with whatever alignment is most convenient then. There's no particular reason why you would want to get your precrowns from the deity you get crowned by....
With a spellcaster, you may as well always kill any jellies you see from a distance (and, of course, while using coward tactics.) Green slimes aren't really dangerous but most of the others either...
With spellcasters on D50, I have something of a superstition about not picking anything up or even looking at the item piles. If I'm on D50, I better have all the stuff I need already, so now I'm...
Yeah, I'm familiar with Dosbox (I already have it installed for a couple old DOS games) but I'd really like to get the whole thing set up properly using the Linux executable since, like, Thomas wrote...
Okay, I wrote a long-ass post and then I discovered what the problem was, but that just leads me to a new question:
How do I get Sage to work when not run with sudo? It seems I can either mark the...
She's killed more of my characters than any other NPC in the game.
Okay, so, it's apparently a term that is used in this sort of game. I find that a source of vague but definite relief. I don't play many video games and it's nice to have my weird itchy discomfort...
Wait, Soirana is a he? I always assumed she was a she, due to her name ending with an A.
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"?...
