Whoever built this game was cruel.
Anyway, I can't do it. I can't even get my character up to level 7 without
dying of either starvation (no food, no edible monsters, most of the time
they don't leave corpses and most aren't edible <healthy> anyway) or some
freak attack by a were-beast who summons enough "brethren" to fill up the
room, or some anal probe attack from an army of fire ants. How the <BLEEP!>
do people play this game? Are you CRAZY!? Are you a masochist? Do you enjoy
suffering? Do tell ). But seriously I guess I'll keep trying. I would
appreciate some advice beyond what I've read in FAQs, however, because that
doesn't cover what's happening to me. I just have no luck... no rations to
be found, most of the time when I do get a corpse it's "Blech! Rotten food!"
and I go blind or confused and meet my demise much earlier than I would have
if I had starved instead. And how is it when I play a non-Wizard character,
I find spellbooks all over the damn place, but when I play a Wizard, I
barely find scrolls and wands, let alone spellbooks...wtf.
