The RNG is messing with me...

Wah! I just met Ren the Unclean on dl10! Needless to say, this was a little too much for my level 13 ranger to cope with... RIP. *sigh*

I guess I shouldn't complain too much though; in my other game (the "during breaks *cough* at work" game) Smeagol dropped some randomized artifact boots with +12 speed at about dl15 or so. I guess it evens out...

I think I might be OK with Ren wiping me out at 500', at least you get a story to tell out of that and not a YASD.

There used to be far more potential for stories. See, for example, this post from rec.games.moria in 1993...

The RNG is messing with me, too.

1. Yay, White Dragon Scale Mail! Pick it up!
2. Yay, it's a randart!!! Identify it!
3. Uh... it is [14,+30] with basic 4 resists... and nothing else. Not even the usual DSM activation. Curses!!
