Stay warm, dude.  That ice storm finally left the D/FW metroplex, but it sure overstayed its welcome

Whoooo! 50 degrees finally!

[Marvelous Miscreant]

That's up to your discretion. Maybe discuss it with your team?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Next area is my favorite....been dying to reveal it.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Oh and if anyone has some wacky monster ideas...

[Mik_Hael]

Anyone mind if I keep one of the hats to use as a weapon against some greedy douche we may or may not meet in the future?

[Zaleramancer]

This and this might be helpful to you.

Also: That is a really fun game. It's like the best bits of a roguelike with all the nice bits from an RPG.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

That's either a really good idea or a really bad one. Either way I don't object.

Also you could ask us in character

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Phi, could you use you tag on everything? I would, but I'm reading the book again.

[Philote]

@Marv: Feel free to have Willow automatically check things with his tag if people ask and you're ready to post but I have not replied yet. I'll try to make note if there is ever a time when Willow would not want to use the tag or would want to do so in secret so it will just save time if you have him automatically do it.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Duly noted.

Granted many things would be obvious for me to assume you would all do. The only times I won't automatically do it for you (starting now) is when it has some significance or you post first....or if I'm really, really.....REALLY....lazy that day.

I reordered the next few "tutorial" rooms. They should go a little more quickly than the slime one. Their point is to introduce you all to recurring elements of the Dungeon before setting into my random generation system.

So far you've covered:

Combat
Equipping
Looting Corpses
Traps
Enchanted Gear (as of my latest post)

In the Next Few Rooms we'll cover:

Puzzles
Materials
Crafting
NPCs
Room Types
Altars
Rest Areas

and a few other things

[Smackgiver]

Can you unpack "alters" for this n00b?  I'm not sure I understand.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Oh, if you assume we tag every item we come across you could just put the descriptions next to the loot when you post it.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

From now on...I probably will.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

At this point, nobody should understand altars....they haven't been introduced yet. But you soon will.

If all goes as planned.

*Edit* Noticed I spelled Altar wrong...my bad.

@Smackgiver: You may wish to include in your nest post how the dark boots make your feet feel incredibly light and agile. Your speed as now increased by roughly 20%

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I'm sure I don;t, but I feel like I have to say it. If you guys notice that something just isn't working for you or that there is a flaw in the way I'm doing things. Feel free to point it out. I'm basically making this whole thing from scratch and as with any game in development, things do not always go over smoothly the first time around.Your feedback is vital as you are the ones playing.

[Smackgiver]

Gotcha.

[Smackgiver]

Nice.  Will do.
