For those who never played B.O.B. on the T-Engine 3, it is relatively simple module where there is no quests and only a single dungeon. So the goal is simply to try to reach the deepest level possible (which happens to be 30).

Quick primer:
The commands are the same as with ToME: 'c' to see your character, 'm' to use abilities, 'G' to learn new skills and arrows to bump (attacks) monsters. The only new key is 'F' which activates forges (represented by the underscore "_" character).
As there is no race or class, the only choice at birth is which skill you start with. This has almost no long-term consequence, however it influences your starting stats and inventory. For beginners, I would suggest either Weapon-mastery (very good defense), Thaumaturgy (good ranged abilities) or Magical strikes - Cold (cheap extra damage on melee). Mutation and None should be avoided by beginners.

Note that the online character sheet feature is functional in B.O.B., so if your profile is active, your character will be published on the te4.org website.

And that should be it, so enjoy! (and please pardon the lack of polish, and of a bunch of important features, as this is more an alpha than a beta)
