I've been playing Crawl on CBR2 since August 2023. The security certificate for CBR2 expired on November 24, 2023, so I switched to CKO. A recent discussion on Discord revealed that CKO is shutting down sometime in February, and the 0.31 release is planned to be in January. Here's my stats page. (technically not the official one, but it has more info than what CAO has)
Diary of a Crawler
I read some diaries before joining the wiki and found the concept interesting. The existing diaries are all from old versions though, so I've decided to write at least one of my own to document modern gameplay. Here are a few things to know about what my diary writing will be like:
- I'm not much of a roleplayer, so I expect my diaries to be more factual in nature.
- I play online, so my characters always have the same name. This means the diaries will go in my userspace. The page name will be formatted SSBB^GOD, where SS is the species code, BB is the background code, and GOD is the god my character worships. For example, my first win was with a Gargoyle Monk of Makhleb, so its format would be GrMo^Makhleb.
- Each diary I plan to write will get a subsection here as a preview before I start playing the character. Early deaths don't provide much content, so once I start playing, I'll keep trying the combo until I get to Lair, then I'll post the diary and edit it as I go. Until then, I'll keep it in a text editor so readers can see what the early game is like for the character.
Formicid Venom Mage
FoVM will be the first combo I write a diary on. I've played a few weapon-based Formicids without much success, but this will be the first time I play a caster with this species. I'm choosing Venom Mage because Formicids have good Poison Magic aptitude, and I've never played VM before. I'm hoping to get Ignite Poison to take advantage of its synergy and to branch into something that's more viable in the late game.
I've started playing this combo. The first attempt died on D:4 after being shafted from D:2, and the second attempt is about to enter D:10.
