Could we change Veh to stop offering lvl 1 (and 2) spells? They seem like a waste of time if you're already xl 5 or 6 when you find the altar, then need to build piety for the first gift.
It works out sometimes if the spell is one of school that you know you want but haven't found any spell books for yet. Helps to get that training going.

But other than that can't say I would care to much

Virulence was added added as a player spell so Poison stays viable the whole game now instead of being an exp trap.

I wish I was just in the mood to play crawl again because of all the hard work put into gooncrawl so far. Mood will hit me eventually.

Wow struggled through 8 XL levels raising Armor as a Spriggan Archaelogist and this is my prize:


Fixedart with -20% max hit points. This would be such a cool artefact otherwise. Major cool. But no one in their right mind is ever going to use it, even on a high HP race.

edit: Actually, it takes my hits from 37 to 29. I guess they decided to make it additive just to screw -HP races even harder?
I 15 runed twice with ogres thanks to that Crown and was the main agitator to bringing it back.

It stacks in the sense that there, iirc, is only one block check using the combined shielding of the shield and necklace. If blocking was successful than reflect happens.

I might enter, but probably not. I don’t even play Gooncrawl much these days. If someone puts a team together (name suggestion: Gooncrawlers), I’ll probably hop in and get my obligatory Minotaur and Barachi wins, but that’s about it.
Yeah, I love all the gooncrawl changes and the games I played of it resparked a small flame for the game but I think I'm just burnt out on crawl in general. Can't complain though. More than a dozen full rune clears under my belt and near decade of enjoyable gameplay ain't bad.

Hello. I want to start my very first ever rogue-like crawl but I'm not sure which one to pick. Also I read Pyke/Shadow pussy wanter's crawl diary and now I am afraid.

E: I installed the Android version on my phone and this tiny hard to type on Hackers keyboard. Everything is so small. Im amazed people can do this on a phone.
The one game I played to 15 runes on the phone app took about 4 times as long as my other full runs.

It was also a conjurer of veh though and blaster casters always take longer than tab masters


Edit: while I'm reading the thread again. Has lvl 1 permaflight been added to tengus in goooncrawl?

I've done tomb about four or five times as a treeform, immolation reading, fully potion buffed monster. Treeform is the secret potion tech for dealing with torment. Just be careful for the smite.

TSO makes quick work of the mummies and the health gain on the kills keeps up with the curses usually.

Kiku (or was it the other undead god) will give a 50% chance to ignore torment.

Crown of Torment or Torment Rod are rare finds but can help mitigate most the issue if you luck into them.

Lichform is great and stoneform can help.


Tomb sucks though, I won't defend it. It does have more than one solution though

Use them as wrapping, to get a special equipment effect that other races don't have? Would be interesting. Sort of like a perma-buff, although that is really more valuable in trunk than it would be in Gooncrawl.
