What kind of turn based Adventure mechanics are we going to see in the next release? I know we can use multi-move for most of it, but from what I've seen there are moves we can make, like actually moving to another tile, that can set off a turn. Will we get a way to hold off a turn until every member of our party has set their actions?

I plan on forming a D&D style party of my friends after I get comfortable with making parties in Adventure mode later on.
Lime green is the convention.

Adventurer Mode isn't turn based. Everything takes a specific amount of time to happen. If your speed is higher than normal then moving takes less time. You can see this in action by moving through a crowd of talking NPCs. If you crawl then they talk more during a single movement - if you sprint then they talk less per move.

Some pieces of armor provide coverage for the face and if you're using Grimlocke's that changes which ones do.

As for the charge - are you sure you didn't do something that took a long time and just made it look instantaneous?

Dwarves can see farthest in the dark.

Any steel armor you find will be dwarf sized - unless you make some in fort mode. And I forget which other races can wear dwarf sized stuff.

Is there snow? You can fill a waterskin with that and melt it at a campfire. I think drinking blood might slake thirst.

We should clone Neanderthals, impregnate them, and send them back in time to become our own ancestors
Your plan sounds suspiciously like a thinly veiled attempt to create your own sex slaves.

Totally not! I would never fuck a relative.
So you only do it with inanimate objects? Every living thing on the planet might very well have a common ancestor.

Oh, and: if we all have a common ancestor then our parents did and were however distant cousins - and half your DNA is from and one and the other half from the other - then half your DNA is cousin to the other half. So we are each our own cousin.

I wondered though if there was an alternative? From what i've read water pressure will push the water back to the level in which it entered the fort; does this mean I could push it up to the level of the brook and feed it back into it?
No. The brook would fill all the tunnels but there would be no flow under the wheels.

There were no NA releases of any Mystery Dungeon games until after Diablo. Even the Japan releases would've been after the development of Diablo had begun in earnest.

Meanwhile, Mystery Dungeon was also influenced by Rogue:

Ultima and Wizardry are also difficult games, but what we did with those games is, they took those games and made a more easy-to-understand version of them, which was Dragon Quest. We wanted to approach Rogue in a similar way, make a more understandable, more easy-to-play version of Rogue, which was the Mystery Dungeon series.

The English language has three words for the feeling of superiority, righteous anger can arguably be represented with zeal, but we lack a word for vindicated despair
Defeatism?

I don't get it, does anyone think that Nethack influenced Diablo, or any roguelike influenced an rpg or vice versa?

The designers of Diablo admitted in an interview that they were inspired by NetHack.

However there's no citation.

“The design morphed over the years and really was heavily influenced by a bunch of UNIX games that I was playing in college, roguelike games: like Rogue, Angband, Moria, Nethack

Because you haven't discovered HP sauce on sausage rolls I'm guessing?
Hmm, it tastes like Worcestershire (thank you, squiggly red line) sauce, right? I remember trying that years ago and... strongly disliking it.
I should probably give HP sauce a shot!
Sounds like it's closer to A1.

At least some part of it has been in some intestinal tract at some point, so it's all something else, too. 💩
