Gauging interest in a Dominions Roguelike...

[Nagot Gick Fel]

I'd expect religion to play an important role in a Dom roguelike, just like in Crawl or even more. Blessings, etc. Eg, worship a Son of Niefel and get effects like:

<p>ray
You feel yourself speed up.

[Edit: what about worshipping a Green Dragon and getting:

A red film seems to cover your vision as you go berserk! ]

I can't code for a living , but I'm pretty good at doing algorithms, rule-systems, balancing of spells and ideas in general, as long as someone else implements them.

I wholeheartedly agree with the Dominions-type rpg, using a base value and two open-ended d6 for most rolls.

However, this means that the character has to be something tougher than human... I can't imagine a light infantrist surviving even the sight of a green dragon in the lower dungeons, no matter how much experience stars he aquired.
