Has anybody heard about this guy yet?

I think between the dwarves and Germans, we could really be onto something here.

that looks interesting but that's not it.

The only other info I have to identify the RL were the letters DK at the end.  That might mean nothing more than the video's creator was from Germany, though.

Thank you for the excellent advice.  I had seen forum.t-o-m-e.net but mistook the hacking problem for a lack of activity.  It's great that there's still an active community since ToME is still one of the most interesting things out there.  I haven't enjoyed playing a game this well for several years.

I was killed once in tome3 (later switched to 2) and the only message I got was:  "Some of your food has been destroyed. You die." - ever since, I've been scared to carry much food.  Kinda why I latched onto the junkart.

Sorry to start this here, but this is the only forum that I know old ToME players are still active.  I have been to the wiki and there's a lot of great stuff there, but I've got lingering questions still.

(1) Is there a better forum where ToME is currently active?

(2) Can I count on the satisfy hunger junkart to feed me?  It's been working great so far.

(3) Can a swordsdwarf win this game?  Will it be significantly more difficult?

(4) I've got a lvl 27 swordsdwarf going.  Where's a good place to read about specific serious risks?  I'm not as interested about learning things the hard way with this character.

(5) I've only been spending skill points in combat, weapon mastery, and sword-mastery.  I've got 59 points banked and I'm considering working on disarm since traps are becoming a serious obstacle.  Any recommendations?

Thanks for any advice.

I've been trying to get into this.  I've done a bunch of quests and have money, but I've wound up leveling just walking around.  Following forum advice, I've got a lvl 5 priest with a lot of money and speed gear.  I didn't manage to get farming with all the plat coins, a farm, and a large collection of rotten food.  This said, I've got a few of quick questions that I haven't been able to find answers.

Why did I work so hard to get farming going again?  It is a lot more trouble than other viable food.

I've got the proper religion and I'm almost killing my character carrying around too much rotten food.  When do the seeds come in?  Will the rotten food disappear when the seeds are given?  I've had this rotten food for weeks and pretty tired of carrying it around.

Thanks for the help.  He is really liking Pokemon.  Once he sorta starts to get equipment, exp, gold etc, we might move on to the more tricky ones.  I was so proud when he caught onto the wasd-style movement    It's probably good to get kids playing games that you lose when you're not careful or even unlucky.

I've been playing with Powder and Elona myself and like them pretty well.  Elona feels like it's filling a hole in my life that I never knew I had.  Bay12 is the perfect community for advice like this.

I'm looking for a simple fantasy RPG for my 4yo son.  Could be roguelike or maybe flash... I'm not going to be picky.  He's close to being able to handle mindless games like Fate, but that's not exactly the direction I want to take him.  Don't need great graphics, but I don't see him decrypting Angaband or ADOM ascii for a few years yet.

We've had our fill of reading, math, and Dora the Explorer games.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
