Most interesting thing I've yet found in Barnabas' shop :ok:

I think I'll be coming back later on in the game, once I'm in shape to take him on.

(for those not in the know, that's Skullcrusher, a thourghly badass arifact mace that slay humanoids)

Bleh.:whistle: After ages of ADOM-abstinence, I finally started another character yesterday (randomly generated drakeling fighter), but this afternoon the game spontaneously crashed when I gave the amulet to Khelevaster. And the savegame was gone, as well, of course. Strangely enough, it wasn't the 'enter' key-bug - that one I know about and have successfully avoided ever since it once happened to me, and I've never had any problems in this part of the game.
I suppose I should take this as a sign that I should be working on my dissertation instead of mucking about with computer games.:max:

I've been playing a lot of Incursion lately; if anyone's missed it, it's an RL based on the D20 (Dungeons and Dragons, but you're not allowed to mention the trademarked bits!) system, and it crams an amazing amount of depth into what is basically a tiny fraction of the intended eventual product - great.
It's great to see work on JADE is progressing too, and the blog updates are interesting - the ambition is really inspiring, and it's dead interesting (to me at least) to see how he's tackling the coding of various things; it should be very extendable and much more stable than ADoM was.

I'm a big Incursion fan too.  It's shaping up to be truly great once it gets rounded off into anything like the finished product.

What with the JADE development progression and the new version of Dwarf Fortress being as great as it is, Roguelikes are in an extremely healthy position.

AJ, what's the enter key bug?  I've never knowingly come across it before but it could be the cause of a couple of seemingly random crashes I've had.

i could be kinda off but its something stupid like that :whistle:

No, that's exactly what it is. A very stupid way to lose a character.:max: Just as stupid as the ingot bug.

Hmm, were you about to finish the game by any chance?;) Clear out the elemental temples, get the orbs and get on with it. Better make sure you have a wand of destruction and a way of teleporting at will before you head down to the lowest level of the caverns of chaos, though, or your beastfighter will run into some trouble.

Well, I don't think so. For some reason I had removed all armor and so on, and only kept Artifacts on me. To me, that indicates that I was about to do something dangerous to equipment, but I've already done the water level, and I'm pretty sure I finished ToEF. Are there other places you can think of that are dangerous like that?

I guess I could've also just finished one of the above places...

Maybe you had just got the old barbarian to teach you courage and/or returned from the library?;) As I said, if you want more detailed advice, post your character file.
