ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hello everyone,

I'm a 29 year old gamer from Finland. I have enjoyed few roguelikes in the past (Nethack/ADOM/Dwarf fortress) and I also enjoy playing playstation 3 games as well as Triple-AAA titles like Skyrim/Borderlands 2 etc. I like to play my roguelikes with tileset if possible.

Few days ago I checked one of my favorite Youtube lets play -maker 51ppycup and he had uploaded Tome 4 "lets play" with a dwarven berserker. I started watching those videos and also downloaded the game myself and fired it up.

Ever since I have loved every second I have spend with my dwarven berserker. Most roguelikes hit the players in the beginning like a truck but this one seems to hold perfect balance without being too easy or too hard. Maybe I also have the positive psychological effect from the Old RPG -tileset which makes the game look like a SNES-game and more welcoming to a new player. Anyway I have already made donation to the game developer, because his game sucked me in so efficiently

I have spoiled many roguelikes for myself by reading spoiler, manuals and beginners guides. I would like to try to avoid that with this one.

People I like to thank:

Nicolas, the guy who have made Tome.

51ppycup, my favorite Youtube lets play -guy;

Daftigod, maker of the old RPG -tileset. Without him I might have not played the game at all. http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=31310

Things I like about the game:

+ Not too hard in the beginning
+ Adventure-mode
+ In-game online chat
+ CTRL+compare items.
+ achievements
+ detailed tooltips

I also noticed that Tome is now a Steam greenlight game so I went immoderately to vote it;

good luck then

Welcome to the forums, urpokarhu!

Not to discourage these sort of threads, but maybe a forum mod/administrator should start and sticky a thread for newcomers? Call it Point Zero. :)

I quite like these separate threads myself! Newcomers are more motivated to make long posts with lots of interesting details if they get their own thread. If we get a lot of "new here" posts in future such that it becomes a nuisance then we can change it.
