A good help for generating pearls is Alchemy with its transmute gem ability -- granted, it has a 20 turn cooldown, and is unpredictable. But if...
I also don't think that Burglary is OP. It's certainly an excellent utility skill to invest in but there are others that are arguably better:...
Every skill has to have at least a 'potential' reason for some unknown build for putting points into it to the very end. I have to agree that...
Logic is generally not a huge limitation on gameplay in most rogue-likes. Nethack (maybe rogue and hack as well???) had a bank vault, but it...
A more appropriate name would be destroyer of everything. I'd be really careful how to hold it -- if you accidentally dropped it, it could...
Ooh! That's the very first Larry Niven/Known Space reference I've seen in decades. People just don't read the classics anymore...:(
There are many things in life that are personally unattainable. I truly believed that my 8 year old nephew could be anything he wants to be when...
I love crafting (as my avatar will testify). That said, I often get impatient waiting for the right materials to make necessary equipment. Most...

Exactly -- some people actually WANT the extra challenge. I know that early on, people were actually asking for the option to select fewer than...
On GR, It depends on your other skills. But regardless, if you avoid actually using any necro skills until you've gained a little armor and/or a...
Hi, I'm Haldurson. I've also been playing rogue-likes on and off since I discovered Rogue on my University's mainframe over 30 years ago. I...
Amen. I am an old-timer, as computer gamers go, and have been a huge rogue-like game fan since, well, Rogue. I probably played it first on a...
This is not a unique idea, of course, but I think it would be interesting to add runes to the game. Runes could be used to add a temporary or...
As far as the poisonous potions are concerned, crafting (alchemy AND tinkering -- don't think smithing uses them at all) are the only ways of...
Well a fine steel axe or two may get you past the first 4 or 5 levels but much beyond that and you'll be hurting.
@rederick The crafting will eventually give you lots of thrown items, but not for a while, and you'll run out frequently. I have an archer build...
