Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup | Brinens and Things

brin-bellway:

My second Crawl win! (The first was with a Spriggan Enchanter of Okawaru back in February 2013, in version 0.11.)

(For those of you unfamiliar with Crawl*, I’m called a “Politician” because I’m very good at backstabbing. (Only in the literal sense, though.) For those of you unfamiliar with roguelikes in general, Crawl is not an easy game to win. There was a statistic on the dev-blog a little while ago that 98% of games played on the online servers end in a loss, and that’s lumping the games of uber-players in with everyone else.)

Now that I’ve finished my current Crawl game, I’m going to give Rogue a try. I’ll be using this browser emulator, which was making the rounds on Tumblr a while back. I was catching up on @Play today and found a link to this Rogue guide, but I won’t use it right away: I want to see how much of the game I can understand using only my (slightly rusty) fluency in Nethack (plus the occasional thing I remember from reading @Play).

*Which might be all of you. I know comparativelysuperlative and amaranththallium both speak a couple different dialects of Nethack, but I don’t know what else they speak.

comparativelysuperlative said: I’ve only ever played the two biggest Nethack variants, but beating a new roguelike is hard! Congratulations on Crawl.
