Summon Monster is generally counterproductive to living.

I was getting bored and used it on L2 unknowing that it would summon stronger stuff than the average L2 monsters.

It's okay, I do it too -- on purpose. It's like a test of faith. If I can't survive the summoned monsters, then I don't deserve to live. It gets really bad when I find a staff of summon monster. Just keep using it in clear rooms until it runs out of charges. Now that's the way to play. :)

(My pally sucks at the summoner game, though. My dwarf just breaks shit, so he's good.)

Pfft, I started a new Priest, it's freaking near impossible to get past the first few levels at a comfortable speed.

Also my new mage's initial book and the book I bought had Magic Missile as illegible. :?

Yes, it's being carried over to that forum I made for those who make it that far. I think I'll put up some challenges tonight and see if anyone can complete them.

What IS this game? Do tell.

Edit: Oh, Angband. Disregard previous post, I suck cocks. *downloads*

Epic threadomancy.

Though this thread is in need of reviving. Unless I'm missing one of the sub-forums that are active. I gave up on Angband, but still have a char around level 25. I'm spending my ASCII game time playing NetHack, and some DF. I still haven't even gotten into any of the unique areas other than Sokoban in NetHack. It's just so insanely hard compared to Angband.

I played NetHack, but it seemed really tedious with the interface and all. I play Dungeon Crawler Stone Soup, but I may likely start playing Angband instead.

NH's uncustomized interface is really tedious. But once you customize it to your needs and get used to it, it's really quite nice. What I like is the challenge of being alone. In Angband you have a town. Not in NH. Also, Hunger is much more of a problem, you can and will die of hunger all the time.
