Greetings everyone. I'm aware that there's bazillion similar threads in here, but I just have to post this, it being my first one and so on.
I've played Angband on and off (mostly off) for ~20 years, and downloaded it again maybe a month ago. It has been a few years since my last binge of keyboard-pummeling, and I gotta say, the game has changed quite a lot in the meantime, and I'm completely in favor of the changes. So kudos to the Devs.
This was also the first time that I used randarts, noselling or even the keymaps to any extent, so the whole experience was quite new. After reading the forums and trying out all of the classes with meagre success, I started my dwarven paladin and veerrry slowly descended to the bowels of A. (Yeah, I know, the turn count is ridiculous, but I really wasn't taking any chances
.)
The journey was eventful and delightful and Morgy was a bit of an anticlimax, although I *was* a bit overprepared. All in all, it was a hell of a ride.
So, what next? I'm thinking either kobbo rogue or troll mage.
