MAngband - Your typical Roguelike with death defying stunts

[Im_AFK]

What is MAngband?
_____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ _______

MAngband is a multiplayer online real-time roguelike styled game derived from the original roguelike, Angband (which is also based off of the Lord of the Rings series).

While still maintaining the main features from the singleplayer game (along with other new things), MAngband combines real-time alongside random generations to create a perfectly impossible game of strategy and heart pacing action. along with quitting like an itsy bitsy baby little girl

Character creation

Races

Human - Think of your all-rounder stereotypical hero, well there's your human. These guys are pretty much jack of all trades, they don't suck at anything, but aren't amazing at anything either, but they do however level the fastest due to short life spans. jk you dont age in game unless its from some ability

Half-elf - The beautiful orphan of a human and a half elf, too bad they were mommy's little boys since they suck at anything dealing with kicking ass with swords and praying to their athiest god, good thing he doesn't believe in himself. Otherwise, these guys outdue the human with slightly better stats and their dexterity can not be lowered, but at the cost of more xp to level.

Elf - You may have thought the half-elf was bad at close combat, but get a load of this guy he can barely even handle a sword and prays more to his athiest god, but if it's one thing these Elves are good at, they just shoot the hell out of anything with a bow, and are amazing spellcasters that can just reign hell down on your enemies, they are also resistant to attacks involving bright light, and like the half-elf brothereren, their dexterity can not be lowered.

Hobbit - Think of a quirky midget with a big ego towards sneaking and has untrimmed disgustingly hairy feet compensating with their size, well that's your average hobbit, don't even bother playing a female because their feet are still hairy, not to mention they have peach fuzz, eughh. These guys are pretty good at throwing weapons and bows, and can literally hide in plain sight when it comes to their legendary sneaking ability, they also can resist life stealing attacks (which drains your xp).

Gnome - Think of a Hobbit, cut his size in half and then get rid of the hairy feet, well that's a gnome for you, these pip sqeak bastards isolate themselves pretty damn well, luckily they have been practicing magic for the past billion years so they can reign so much more hell than the Elf can, at the drawback of having an extremely huge ego. These guys can also resist paralysis and slow effects naturally, since there's so many giant spiders in their mancaves.

Dwarf - Yeah, not like they're meant to dig holes or anything, these guys actually LIVE in the dungeons AND have PET SPIDERS, which explains the gnomes caseanario. These guys are like the exact opposite of the Elf's religion, hell they don't even believe in that word, they are just so holyish in justice that they will strike down anything to their god otherwise, did I mention their outer skin layer is about 13ft deep, yeah they can take a lot of hits. Since these guys are pretty pro at navigating dungeons they can never be blind, at the price of having to yell out to every monster that you're going to murder it while sneaking, way to go dwarf you sure showed em'.

Half-orc - Think of an alter ego to the Half-elf, well this is your ticket to a slow stupid amazing destroyer life of a half-orc, while they aren't the prettiest piece of pie to look at, scratch that, these guys are absolutely hideous, think of a terd on a stick, but green, even for a female half-orc, despite their "amazing" features they just didn't put on enough make-up.

Half-troll - Alright so you may have thought the Half-orc was this amazing death machine, well thing again; this guy right here is the eater of worlds and dreams. You could say this guy has been slaying dragons since he was a lee little baby, but that's just an insult; he really just slays them whenever he wants dragon burgers, because this guy has one hell of a huge pit to fill, nearly twice as much as everyone else needs. To make up for his lingering hunger this guy also regenerates twice as fast so he can kick some more ass, but falls short to only being able to cast BASIC tiny spells that don't do jack.

Kobold - No you can most certainly not be the doge, unless you play this guy. These doges have been so perfectly attuned to this deep dwellful darkness around them that they don't even need to see the light of day anymore, hell it does me wonders why the Dwarves just didn't even bother having them as pets. Since these guys are kick ass at being batmen, suck terribly at swords, even the Elf outdues them!

High-Elf - Alright so you may have thought Elf was a pretty cool guy that could just reign hell on anything he sees like a bad ass, along with the Half-elf which wasn't too bad for himself either, and may even be better than this guy. WRONG this guy is the definition of bad ass and casts petty little reigning meteours like no 1s business, since these guys WERE AND FOREVER WILL BE the first creatures on the planet, they just have to be errogant pricks about everything and everyone and will stop at nothing to become the high king. So what's the catch you say, can these guys not even bother to look at a sword? WELL motherforgeter you're completely wrong, these guys kick more ass with a sword than Samurai Jack, and they are no longer athiest noobs. Did I mention they resist light based attacks AND can see ghosts and other spirits such as wraiths? Since these guys are so loving old they take about 2x the xp of a human to level up, so hah.

Dunadan - As of right now you may believe that the Human is the most absolutely disgraceful forget since all these races (especially the High-elf) can beat the stuff out of him at anything, well sirs and wosirs you must have never met the Dunadan. I was joking about badass definition on the High Elf, THIS GUY IS THE MANLIEST AND MOST BADASS thing you will ever lay your eyes upon, if they don't shrivel away in sheer amounts of fear. These guys may have not been the first on the planet, but they have certainly seen the forget out of anything and everything responsible to these great abominations of races. Hell you may even know of a Dunadan, you know Bruce Lee? Dunadan. Jack Sparrow? Dunadan. Duke Nukem'? Dunadan. Master chief? Dunadan. I can not even express any futher how much these guys can kick the can with bows and swords, they're almost like children toys to these guys. Not to mention that they have amazing health ratings, and can not have it reduced.

Classes

Warrior - Stereotypical sword guy who loves to bash people's heads in at an amazing rate, but can't even spell his own name, so he sucks at reading books.

Mage - Stereotypical arrogant prick who will go head over heals to date anyone who has a book on them, what a loony disgrace, and a good one too! Luckily he can beat up anyone that calls him a noob by pitting them against his huge collection of nerd spells.

Priest - Stereotypical religious chump who spends all of his days praying and sleeping at the church, dear god what a goon, good thing he speaks to him everyday and can have anyone beriddled by lightning that even argue with his religious purpose.

Rogue - Stereotypical black man that robs banks and people blindly without even a trace, he's also pretty good at finding the batcave, due to his amazing feel ability (including women too!), if you need a quick con artist this is your man for earning big bucks.

Ranger - Stereotypical smokey the bear that pretends not to catch things on fire, but really does with his smoking cigars of doom, which in this situation are arrows. He's a pretty spiffy stalker too, and is just as much as a bookworm as the mage is, scrolling through his Ranger's handbook like a pathetic noob.

Paladin - When the priest decided to flip the table one day, he became a paladin, some elaborate stud (just like the warrior) that can pulverize anyone and anything with his holy book of eat this noob, he really wasn't a good sport or eye with bows and arrows, so he really drops the soap  there.

"pretty pictures"

All I see is ASCII. I can't believe anybody still makes text games, it's so much harder than just using images. Is it like super ultra fun or something to make up for fighting N's on a black background?

[Im_AFK]

you can give the game a try for yourself if you want, title mentions typical roguelike, which for the time of creation used ASCII in place for graphics, yeah, its a huge drawback since you can't get very much out of letters, but the gameplay and replayability make up for it
