>there are people here that don't think that ToME is the only good roguelike left

Is slex worth playing without experience in nethack?

how do i play chexmixbang?

Is he the most hated man in roguelikes?

Nethack is not even worth playing without experience in nethack
t.nethack player

Slex isn't worth playing period

tome wont be a good roguelike until the ability to kill town npcs without aggroing them in order to get freexp is removed

slex is worth playing while intoxicated to laugh at
it's barely even a game

Like any other roguelike, but you need to carry a stack of teleport scrolls at all time or you are faulting

turn on the "roguelike-keys" option so you can use hjklyubn

pick a random race/class, pcb has a ton of different interesting ones
monster mode lets you be nonhumanoid shit like dragons/beholders/centipedes

>Is he the most hated man in roguelikes?
Barely anyone knows or cares about ADOM even in the roguelike community so probably not.

sweet seemes exactly like the type of game somebody on this general would enjoy

/RLG/ BTFO

i'm done

Claimed muh birthright. Alas, telepathy is an absolute necessity, so thranduil it is for now.

In other news, aura of domination is cool since it has a nonzero chance to stun/paralyze/confuse, and summon ancient dragons brings 4 thick combatants onto the field.

congrats now die to a saber-toothed tiger in the starting town

>telepathy nerfed
>still just as necessary, just more annoying to use
thanks chris

Reminder that if it has tiles, it's not a roguelike. youtu.be/W0Xc_XRyH48

>not playing in the way Chris intended pcb to be played
Wow

why is one scroll of id superior to the other

tome won't be a good roguelike until it has only-keyboard controls and gets rid of cooldown-ability

because you forgot to turn on the *BAD* birth option, easy_id

a normal scroll of ID will tell you "this unid artifact is the legendary buttplug of gandalf"
a scroll of *ID* will tell you "the legendary buttplug of gandalf gives resistance to bile damage and +3 to penetration resistance"

>he actually pumped int
enjoy the [amber] 80 bug while it lasts at lasts.

you should see the summons at that level, it's madness, practically a guaranteed unique every single summon

>tome should pander to shitters like (You) who can't understand combat more complex than otab bumping

ok

you're learning

>sdawert45ry7u
anyways you should probably scrollofteleport next time

I won't hold down one direction again I guess.

yea thats part of what makes poschengband fucking trash
there is a "run" command though

That's a great tip for all roguelikes, friend. Also the reason why they added shift-direction to nearly every game.

I wasn't expecting to get a beat down in the hub area of the game.

you haven't even found a tiger or a raven, AKA "lmao you wasted a tele scroll dude"

>Cultist of Entropy
>Drem

Is this like a meme or

any more games like CataclysmDDA?

doesn't have to be post-apocalyptic or have zombies

>I prefer rightclick->equip

unreal world is comfy

You can fast travel in towns, even if enemies are around.
...Or maybe its in another *band, I forgot

>Cultist of Entropy

What did you mean by that?

that's another game you're thinking of
in PCB if you wanna go to the world map while enemies are around you just spam tele scrolls until you land somewhere far enough away from them to press

> "spawn_item" : { "type": "Milk_2", "message": "You knead the breasts of your trusty steed. She flashes you a shy smile as you start working." },

>check ebin guides for ToME out of curiosity
>'lol just use tinkers' on every single one

wew lads

Should I use the simplified nutrition mod?

i wander aimlessly

almost like it's not a balanced game
im sure most of them also say "lol just use cornac/ogre/shalore"

Pretty much. Half the time they don't even bother with the trees the class, like a Wyrmic guide going 'lol get mindstar tree instead because objectively superior here's autismal numbers'

wander in the > direction
angband is most fun when you dive to the deepest point you can survive at
(note however that doing this makes you a *BAD* person)

double-shortstaff reavers too

All this murdering is turning me into a loser.

Well, that worked. I can go to sleep now.

Dont forget to put this on the github when you wake up

>D:

>Degenerate behavior : -100

I've never felt so proud.

You have 10 seconds to name a roguelike with better combat than Maidensnow.

Tangledeep.

i couldn't get past maidensnow's weird-ass gamepad-focused control scheme
i had no idea what the fuck i was doing in that game

>no popcorn swarms because the dev made anything weaker than you scale out of EXP range
>every enemy opens the fight with an attack skill, and attack skills are all inherently guaranteed to hit, making defenses worthless
>no natural healing makes the whole game revolve around attrition
>watered down as fuck skill system
Tangledeep's combat is extremely mediocre.

Dwarf Fort Adventure Mode

What difficulty are you talking about? I assume you are talking about Nightmare+, because Oozemancer is basically god-tier on Normal (since it literally cannot die), and Summoner is so straightforwardly OP that a child could beat Normal on it.

Tome 4 as a Chronomancer or Archmage

Please respond.

No. This way you will realize that you have been eating only meat for the last season and need to do something

Yes, because there are no actual effects coded for nutritional deficiencies.

Oh ok.

What about the No NPC needs mod? I've heard NPC needs can be really annoying but I fear removing them might make things too easy.

The game's explanation makes it a lot more complicated than it needs to be. At the end of the day the only keys that matter are the one you hold to turn your character without moving/do backflips/double tap to search for traps, the attack key, any one of the keys that open a page in the inventory, how to change tabs in the inventory, and the hotbar/ring controls.

if they get annoying just kill them and eat them

It's kinda annoying but they like you more when you feed them, and they feel less like robots with shitty AI

Hm, so you can't feed them if you have the mod on?

I don't know, on one hand it does make sense for them to have needs, on the other hand I can see it getting really annoying, especially if you have a whole group.

>Hm, so you can't feed them if you have the mod on?
Actually no idea, never tried it.

I think I'll use it, challenge is nice but I feel like this will only be annoying. To balance things out I will remove survivir armor.

What the fuck is the Cultist of Entropy? I see it on the list in ToME stats but a google search comes up with only that and some threads.

might be some mod class

You did it, user. You are finally a beautiful futa horse.

>To balance things out I will remove survivir armor.
What are you, a casual? You should never ever play with survivor armor.

I assumed so, but then I figured there'd at least be some results for what mod it is using a search. But nope.

You know I've always played with survivor armor on but I never used it.

...

can someone link me the latest release of ellipseudoposchengbandfdsfsg+ or whatever is called? I dont want to play bare poschengband 7.0

github.com/GenericPseudonym/pseudoelliposchengband/releases
latest release is only 6.1.0

oh i see. Anything worthwhile in 7.0, or not worth playing over pseudoelliposchengband 6.1.0?

still no auto explore or auto fight
