If I can manage to single out an acid mound, I just remove my weapon and armor, punching the acid to keep from wrecking equipment.

Right now I have a +10 axe of speed. Axes can hit all enemies next to you at the same time, and with the speed enchantment, I get another turn 75% of the time I hit something. The two combined means I frequently clear a room of enemies without taking a scratch. Also have an allied troll + staff of healing. Better not let this run go to waste.

Well, first off you need some wrestling experience, which is very easy to get. Find a groundhog or something equally non threatening, and play around with grabbing body parts with your hands. Yes, hands, you'll have to put your weapon or shield away to wrestle properly.

With some experience under your belt, you can grab enemy limbs with your hands, which will give options based on what part you grab. Grabbing the head allows for the gouging out of their eyes, grabbing a hand will let you lock and break a wrist, and so on. Just experiment a little. Oh, and have FUN

Sounds like a plan! Anyone have anything they suggest as a personality/restriction?

Unarmed only!

Recommended, it's a blast.

The iPhone also has RogueTerm, an app for playing roguelikes over the net
Connecting to crawl.akrasiac.org with it works well enough that Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup can be considered mobile

That sounds like its either from an anime, or an old cartoon. Either way the mod itself is quite cool looking from ze video.

It's Hokuto no Ken, or Fist of the North Star. A great anime out of the 80's that's worth checking out.

I'm waiting for a clear picture of this year's chaos to emerge.  Doesn't look like anyone died this time.  I'm impressed.

Maybe nobody died, but a few people did get maced in the face in the name of "competitive shopping."
Yes, it happened in a Wal-Mart, where else?

While playing tonight, I knocked down a wall holding up a portion of the ocean.

The result was a cascade of water flowing like a river through the desert. What shocked me is what ended up chasing me halfway across that rather large desert, before I found a pit and could take a screenshot.

Try Shiren the Wanderer for DS before you write off the Mystery Dungeon games entirely, as it brings proper roguelike difficulty to the table.
If you want to just try it out, you could always emulate the SNES version.
