Revision as of 13:55, 17 September 2013

I've been playing DCSS since around the last days of version 0.8, and I've had a couple of wins since. I've played some other Roguelikes such as Rogue, Adom and Zangband, but Crawl is the only one I've really dived into because of its superiour sophistication and "logicalness". I hail from South Africa, and so I play Crawl offline only; the lag to overseas servers is absolute killage.

Also, I believe in the text terminal interface. Graphical tiles is for wussies! :P

Though I've dabbled extensively with a bunch of different backgrounds, I've only had great success with Naga venom magi so far, and I can proudly say that I got 5 runes on my very first win over a year ago. So at the moment I'm focusing on only one thing: perfecting my NaVm of Chei hybrid building technique. Besides the fact that I like to tackle challenges systematically, the simplicity of focusing on one build for a long time helps me retain some of my sanity in this... wonderfully complicated game. (also, it's hilariously difficult to get past early venom mage ghosts if your character lacks innate poison resistance)

I intend to write a thorough beginner/intermediate Naga Venom Mage guide. Once I have a better grasp on it, that is. In the meantime, I think I'll make some smaller improvements to the wiki whenever and comment on stuff. Here's hoping I make some worthwhile contributions.
