And here I was hoping for the "DoD II: Eating Shards of Broken Glass" subtitle :(
Radiant Aura isn't a bad idea. It will stun foes that do manage to reach you (if you're being careless or what have you), plus it makes ALL your...
Reminds me of the Artifact I found that was "studded with cracked, frozen sunlight". ...wut?
I had to look that one up. Ruching noun 1. material for making a ruche. Ok, great. What's a ruche? Ruche noun a strip of pleated lace, net,...
Yeah, having a whole tree that relies on the idea of "beating" the RNG which will, without fail, burn out your best wand when you fire it with 2...
Another option might to be widen the gap a bit: make your starter spells a bit cheaper so a low-level mage with 40 mana can cast more than 3...
As much as I hate to say it, mana regen - particularly from "dual-wielding" orbs, is probably the biggest issue. Ease off on Orb Regen across the...
I swear I could listen to these guys talk about nothing for hours at a time and it would still be entertaining. Great listen, keep up the great...
He sums up my arguments so much more eloquently than I do. :( But the point still stands: you win with Bolts and Spells, or not at all....
The game should have an auto-save dating back to the last time to went up (or down) a flight of stairs to a new Dungeon Floor. If it's not there,...

Depends on what stats they put on items that go in the new slots. Personally I can't see Pants and Belts having much in the way of Absorb or...
http://www.gaslampgames.com/blog/2011/10/25/dredmor-1-0-7-preview-screenshot/ So, let's see... Little red borders on various parts of the...
Even if there was a new active ability in each of the weapon trees that would cause a decently powerful Bleed effect, coupled with a short Stun or...
A Murder of One by the Counting Crows just popped up. :) I love this band in general and their August and Everything After album in particular,...
1) Didn't realize that, but it (sorta) makes sense, since pretty much every damn thing in the game that isn't a direct Melee attack scales with...
A blink that he uses reliably when you're more than a few squares away would be a huge step in the right direction. Right now any character can...
Yeah, I didn't look up the specific numbers for Walk It Off, and I was getting the Level Up and On Proc numbers mixed up in my head. But really,...
Separate names with a comma.
