I would not touch Awoo in heat. I would not give her my dungeon meat.

I would not touch Awoo in bed. I would not pat Awoo on the head.

I would not touch Awoo with a bee. I would not touch Awoo as a tree.

I could not,
would not,
In the lair.

I could not,
would not,
ANYWHERE.

NOT IN A VAULT
SHE WON'T MAKE ME FAULT
NOT INSIDE ZOT
NO I WILL NOT
TOUCH THAT AWOO
LEAVE ME ALONE, SHOO SHOO

I don't know Awoo, but I'm saying to you
that she might be a girl or a cat.
You say 50/50, but I say it's risky,
to say that you want to hit that.

SHOW US YOUR OC, NIGGER.

There any new flavors of the month? Even just new noteworthy titles.

Sleep tight /rlg/, the best way to avoid splatting is to avoid playing!

Shadow of the Wyrm got an update. It's fun, but very obviously a work in progress. It does have a win condition at least.

slashem ex

My OC is in the OP.
Demon

OH you got me.

7/10 good at first but bad meter, especially in the last stanza

there were a few anons posting demon and brogue in the last thread

Also Quest for the Unicorn. It works by very different rules than most roguelikes, and is fairly grindy if you don't progress to more dangerous dungeons once you've cleared the previous one, but I've had some fun with it. The worst part about it is that it's very obscure, so there's little documentation about it. I can probably answer any questions about it in ~9 hours, since that's when I'll wake up. Just queue them up and I'll get to them in the morning.

Guide to an ez start:
>pick up any ranged weapon and 'u'se it for ez kills
Ranged weapons in QftU are something like DCSS' wands. They don't need any ammo, they must be "evoked" to attack at range, and you don't even need to hold them to use them. They're also ludicrously powerful at the very beginning, especially if you get one that has okay damage in addition to attacking at range. If necessary, sell your starting healing potions at the pawn shop in the beginning town so you can purchase a spear of spruce. Mages don't need to since they start with a wand of pine.
>for picking enchantments to wear, haste>HP>literally everything
Since monsters can attack and move at the same time, being able to create a gap between you and the monster is very important. Second in importance is being able to withstand the attacks while you run back to the stairs. The stats don't do much until significantly past 20, so don't bother with them.
>"b"lobs are the devil
Seriously, if you see a "b", run away. They are immune to any kind of missile, are highly resistant to melee, and they inflict a DoT effect that is dangerous enough at first, but also stacks, both in duration and damage. I'm convinced that they're a spawn-bug since they give ~600 XP to a level ~8 character in a dungeon meant for level 1s, where the average XP per kill at that level is less than 30.

I like how the imps are doing absolutely nothing while the frog viciously beats me to death

book acquirement is shit
i've wasted 3 scrolls and got 0 spells i haven't had already

you're supposed to use meme cloud

Book acquirement is shit, use this chart

Needs to be updated for the misc and staff/ammo acq changes.

...

Tru tho.

i pretty much went according to that chart anyways, lol

I got a book of annihilations from acquirement once.

It came 10 levels and 3 branches later than it should have.

I see now that you're actually a wizard, whoops.

aaw

aawoo

you don't know what you're talking about

Way to prove him wrong!

I agree with you, but your evidence is as shite as user's reasoning for thinking book acq is bad is.

red imps only exist as a fuck you to people who cast summon imp at low spellpower

>savescummer acquiring a shit book after 10 realoads somehow proves that book acq is good

I got what I wanted (Spectral weapon, regeneration) in a single try though. If your RNG is bad, you'll get it in a 2nd try.

most people only get a single try because they don't savescum

Awoo is from 2hu.
Awoo no ambiguous.

Awoo is dog.
Awoo is4 awoos.

book aqu always gives me awesome manuals on melee dudes

Yes user, and anecdotal evidence is shit.
Pointing out the ability to get manuals with 0 spell skills/trog, and the code's chance to drop a good book/unseen spell is a better way of arguing for an acquirement type.

Most Blobs take damage only from bare-handed fighting (unequip your weapon). I found out when trying desperately to kill one

Do you ever get a randomly-generated name that sticks with you?

not really

I bet you use a mouse.

no, O-TAB-C-5 and repeat

>pressing c
>he doesn't know about autobutcher

...

...

The hell is this? A new trunk commit or something?

could be a new generic pan rune vault

Holy shit im dying

>atheist
>faith

I hope youre only pretending to be retarded

>can't even disint a 1x1 elbow corridor because the cacos know dig

That's truly terrifying.

>not roleplaying in crawl
>not hurling that shit directly into lava
MEDIOCRE

>you can savescum online

I made this the other day when one user inspired me with a little story

That's no rune vault, that's Gloorx's territory in the first place and these things should never appear there.

WHAT HAPPENED user
TELL US

Got a nice loot. So they were guarding the legendary ?ID

Most excellent, user.

Good thing Malign Gateway can still attack out of player's LOS.

every type of summons can do that

Don't player summons stop attacking and start following you if they are outside your LOS?

Yes

Really? I always wielded wands and poked them to death, since it always did a static 1 damage as opposed to the 0 damage most other things did.

If you find some reliable way to crash the game, you can always restart from the moment you entered that floor.

VinniePaz did it

>If you find some reliable way to crash the game,
If you find a reliable way to do this online, the devil's team will see the crash reports spamming their IRC channel and investigate. I'd be surprised if any such bug lasted for more than an hour.

Teach me your secrets, user.

inb4 read the options guide, it's not there.

What the fuck

git.develz.org/?p=crawl.git;a=commitdiff;h=7e858c24e4ba85a9c12a47e5d7b5ecd3eb305732

(the git.develz.org search box is very useful)

So, anybody have a download link to Vanilla Bagel?

And looking at that commit, it is in the trunk options guide.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

Literally no idea what that is.

>start a new random game for the hell of it

ALL OR NOTHING NOW
16 CONDUCTS
ATHEIST TOO
WE'RE DOING THIS MOTHERFUCKERS

Thanks user. I didn't notice I wasn't using the latest trunk.

>inb4 play online

>inb4 you find a polytrap
I'm rooting for you Sunhorse!
Don't get the "Yev-Ruu" thing though.

A paid russian roguelike. From what I gather is similar to Adom.

Why bother to change your name, we all know there's only one person here who has such a hardon for running every conduct with those terminal colors.

>inb4 you find a polytrap
I'm searching the traps every two steps, but I don't wanna starve. A good rule of thumb is that in the quest level, EVERYTHING is polytraps.
Worst case scenario I can still do a 15 conduct.
And Yev-ruu is a very obscure reference to CelestiaQuest, a quest that ran on mlpg back in 2013.

First because I have a different account instead of the old "dynahack" and second because it's an obscure horsereference.

because it's an obscure horsereference
welp, I shouldn't have asked~

Good luck user

whoa you made it
that was very very terrible luck user.
have you been cursed?

because dragons are out of depth?

Because he lost like 6 or 7 good runs to polytraps there

First the hungry ghosts, now a pack of gargoyles. Thank RNG for penetrating bolts and a long, narrow corridor.

S-sorry, that was a reply to his comments ingame. I'm watching him at ascension.run/hterm/, but the on-server message system doesn't work with Dynahack so I have to use this thread.

Were there any must have skills in infra arcana besides observant?

Also, what's with all the enemies that can't be shot or meleed?

>But the on-server message system doesn't work with Dynahack
Oh yeah I asked some of the dank ninja dudes about it like a year ago. Apparently it never made it into dyna's code.

try throwing knives at them

YEAH WELL
POLYSELFLESS IS A SHITTY CONDUCT ANYWAY

You did your best!
I'm sorry, user.

15 conducts is still in tune with /rlg/'s 15 runes anyway
I'll keep going

There are like 3 more enemies that do this and I doubt knives work on them

When I tried to play older versions, the minimap colors were one of the things I couldn't get used to the most. I can't see anything meaningful there except for corridor outlines.

stop while you're ahead
that silver saber is max scary

Have the colors even changed at all?

quite a lot

So the gameplay of Summoners is basically to get haste+raise your survivability/get more escape spells?

Dunno. Probably not.

To the thread at large: do cockatrice corpses count as wielded weapons in Dynahack?

night

wow I lurk in Trump general threads almost every day since a little bit after the first debate and I've never seen that one

Anything relatively neat and new in Cata DDA besides Scurvy Simulator 2000?

No

Yes, it is entirely possible for book acquirement to be nice and give you something useful. That doesn't mean it's good
