ToME4 mentioned on Roguelike Radio podcast

[Grey]

For those that aren't aware I've been involved in a podcast dedicated to roguelikes lately. Most weeks are about a specific game (normally smaller roguelikes) but this week is about the more general topic of character progression systems in roguelikes, including a good deal of mention of ToME4's talent system:

Kinda' interesting. Only thing that really jumped out at me during the podcast was Incursion, re: alternate means of gaining XP. Diplomacy and thievery can both net you progression/XP in it, and it's done fairly effectively (barring some AI/hostility bug stuff in the former).

Any idea if there's plans for a transcript? And ya'll're gonna' do T4 eventually, right?

Transcript? Well, if you wanna do it then by all means go ahead... :P

ToME4 will be covered in some depth at some point, possibly over a few podcasts. And DarkGod has agreed to an interview some time too.

It seems like you are by far the best player out of all of them and definitively one of the more knowledgeable.
