ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Played *bands for... how long? *counts on fingers* 19 years? Finally just got my first winner. Even if it was a rather twinkish one, I'm still rather happy about it.

*sleepy puzzled look* Why is that quote broken? (Anyway; I agree with Neil.)

Sloseri: Welcome to ToME!

Please don't reference Anne McCaffrey's world or critters here, it's a copyright issue. Thanks.

Um, has anyone else considered the fact that armor over bare skin/flesh/feathers/scales/whatever, or even over light fabric, must be quite uncomfortable?

Er my character?

*Applause*!!!

The posts so far are fine, but please be careful, folks. Thanks.

[Assorted whispered suggestions deleted (including a rather dyslexic mistake :roll:); nice fixing, Nerdanel!] Hm... I did not know about this trick, but I never really saw a real need for it. * plus directional arrows always seemed to work just fine. But I'm definitely going to try it out on my next...

It took me a week or so to get going again after Slappy's sad demise. But generally I restart again immediately, or maybe wait a day or two simply because other things in life preoccupy me. Re: Moldoux: You *could* just turn joke monsters off. Meanwhile, I will never forget my first encounter with a...

This post was prompted by a recent entry in the "What kills you?" thread. Over time, I've noticed several different playing styles. Some people, after losing a promising character to a tragic death, stop playing ToME for a while. "A while" varies from a few days to far longer. Ot...

Why not do things democratically!!!! :D So, Troubles or Tales??? Remember: Your vote counts . For all readers: Just to be clear: This is NOT an official poll to decide which word (Tales or Troubles) it is. If darkgod wishes to take it as input for his own decision, that's up to him. Having said tha...

Ask Neil Stevens, if you please; I'm not going there.

Well, I'm *still* reading and re-reading that site. I think I've got it straight, but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. It sort of sounds to me like one of those personality tests -- e.g. "What kind of ToME player are YOU?!?" But, I can also see how it has serious ramifications for pr...

I'm predominantly a Simulationist, with a bit of the others as well. What I like best is exploring new things -- places, race/class combinations, tactics, spoily secrets about all of the above, etc. I really don't care about the competition, though I really would like to win someday , if only to say...

If we were going for dyed-in-the-wool accuracy, then ill-fitting armor would have negative AC for anyone/thing it wasn't precisely made to fit. Do you really want to go there? (Anyway, I doubt the code could support such stringency.)

A standing horse is a big, easy to hit target. A mace or heavy sword could easily cripple a horse with one blow to a leg, bringing the rider to the ground. Since when does a warhorse sit still in battle? :roll: Yes, a horse might be overwhelmed by enough foot soldiers, but I believe that movies and...
