They look interesting. Some of them would need to be higher level than others, but very interesting.

I'm reading the Nethack wiki.

It's interesting.

Nethack is a rougelike.



It has a certain phrase that goes with it. YSAD.

Yet Another Stupid Death.

Because you will die. Painfully. Several times.

So I'm trying this game.

I've made two elf wizards.

One was killed by an irate shopkeeper, and the other died from a falling rock.

I can only see this going well.

Nethack is like Dwarf Fortress in that the designers thought of everything and it is very hard.

Dying is nothing in that game. You want to hear a recipe for horror?

Touching a cockatrice with bare flesh causes instant petrification.
The player can polymorph briefly into a random monster, gaining all its abilities.
There are magical items that let you control your transformation, change gender or remain in a form indefinitely.
Female snakes, birds and dragons can lay eggs.

Whilst playing as a female character, polymorph into a cockatrice, lay dozens of eggs, revert to human, and throw the eggs at enemies to petrify them instantly.

My last character had a ring of polymorph.

He turned into a titan, briefly.

Then a jackal ate him after he turned back..

Sounds interesting, is it free to play?

On a different note, was playing with D&D character builder and found interesting combination.

The artificer class (At level 11 if you're not the warforged race) can take on the Self-forged paragon class, becoming robotic.
And since the artificer class is an arcane type class, at level 21 they can take on the Draconic Incarnation Epic Destiny class, allowing them to shapeshift into a dragon.

So, playing as a Minotaur at level 30, I can turn into a giant robo-minotaur-dragon.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
