Hey guys, I am challenging anyone who likes to play old school rougelikes to a competition of a game of ADOM. This is one of the most difficult rougelikes I have ever played but it is extremly fun. I will post the rules below.

The game will start 1 week from now so that new players can get the hang of it.
Also, if you are a beginner as soon as you get in game type (shift+?) and than go to key bindings.

Be sure to check out this as well http://www.adomgb.info/adomgb-toc.html
The game works for both windows and mac and is only a 1.7mb download

----------------------------------------------------Example-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Morath
Class: Paladin
Race: Human
Level: 1

The highest level I have gotten to was 8 on a dwarf pally.

By the way if you are just starting pally is probably the best way to go.

Please post if you are interested in joining because I want to know how many people are going to join.

I'm still mulling over the idea - I've known of ADOM for a long time and it hasn't called out to me. What's the end of game objective in it?

Survivng the longest. most people wont last more than 15 mins so it should be quick and fun.

And it starts next Wednesday? Okay, I'll see if I get pumped enough to download and give it a whirl. Remember that you've already been playing it, so your already pumped up by it

That's true once you get into it your addicted lol.

Two things - how do you heal? It doesn't seem to be over time, like in nethack? Also, how to you put armour on, that you've found? I squinted at the instructions for awhile, but I was more keen to look through instructions years back.

To heal you must either do the quest in terinyo or you must choose a class that starts with healing. Here take a look at this guide http://www.adomgb.info/adomgb-0-1.html
and this after http://www.adomgb.info

EDIT

For armor just type "I" and it brings up inventory.

Remember guys we will start next Wednesday.
