This one comes from the "if you have to ask..." department.I'm a long time fan of the game Nethack. Even before it was Nethack, I was busily souring my first stab at higher education playing its predecessor hack. It took me something like 17 years to win it for the first time. Yes, I kept coming back for that long, and I'm still coming back.
Currently, I have a very unlikely game going... a tourist in Gehennom with basically a full ascension kit in hand. I don't have the Book yet, but the Bell and the Candelabra are mine. As you can see from the screenshot, I have nearly every intrinsic. Currently, I am on a very low level (or high, depending on how you think of it) in a locked room doing the "cursed scroll of genocide" with nurses thing to gain max hit points. I still have two wands of wishing (wow didn't always mean World of Warcraft, kids!) that can be charged again with the Platinum Yendorian Express Card. I can hardly believe I'm saying this, but I may just ascend a tourist.
And for the uninitiated, GDSM is "gray dragon scale mail" and Magicbane is a unique artifact athame.
"I'm sure to ascend." - Ancient curse
ReplyDeleteAlways remember, one can never ever have too many wands of death, scrolls of tele, and other ruh-roh goodies on hand.
Best of luck!
Bill has already spoken the curse unto me. Since then I have genocided V's and R's(who have gone to join h's and L's), have increased max hit points to 220 and am back down around level 40.
