Hey All!
My ToME Based YouTube Channel has been silent for about 6 months, but today, today I Have Returned!!!

All is explained here: https://youtu.be/imlfBC9NAVo

and Here's the link to my new ToME twitch Channel!

It's Good To Be Back! :D

Enjoy!

When I upgraded Bone Shields on my Corruptor to level 5 I got 6 flying around skull effects but it seems they don't regenerate well. Ability description says every 5 turns (for maxed out) 1 piece will regenerate so from 0 to max it should take 30 turns. In my case I don't know why but this shield regenerates after about 140 turns. I tested this also on Reaver and it happens again. Is it bug? Or is it working as intended but BS's description mislead?

... sometimes makes want to die. On the inside, you know?

I was playing tales and i finally got to the final boss after beating all the orc prides and i was fighting them for about 2-4 turns when they vanished along with the sun paladin. I got a portal back to the world map and i went and closed all of the spawners but i cant beat the game with this character anymore because the bosses are gone. please help. thank you.

So, what was intended to be a ~2 week break turned into a two month one. Unfortunately a lot of things happened and are going on in my personal life and that's kept me away from the community and save fixing. There has been some pretty serious financial strain due to all this and at least for a little while this will keep me from being able to give 100% to the community.

The help desk is not forgotten, although it will still be a bit longer before I can start getting to the backlog of tickets. If you're waiting for a save to be fixed I apologize and thank you for your patience; it might be a bit but I'll still fix everything that I can!

I've started to play ToME and I've got no idea what I'm doing. I'm using experience from other RPG's to build characters. I notice I need to run away more often. I don't understand everything that is going on. Or how to build a character for the long run.

I am playing on normal difficulty. Have died plenty of times.
Some areas (despite being lvl 1 ' friendly') are hard for me to finish (especially final boss). Sometimes feels I'm missing part of my build to do it.
And what if I run, where can I go level instead... That's a question I'd like the answer to.

Hey everyone!

I'll be out of town for a couple of weeks and won't be as able to fix saves. I'll attempt to get to existing tickets but new ones will likely have to wait until I return.

My minions,

Less than a month ago I have told you have an old ToME dev creating his own game, https://oafmatch.com/; well it happened again!

I am very happy to say that Purequestion (the creator of a good many artifacts for ToME) and his graphical friend have made their own game: Monolith. It is a retro-looking roguelite shmup and it is FUN!

While I'm not involved in the dev I've had the pleasure of playtesting it and it is very neat (as should be expected from ToME-taught people ! :> ).

If you like roguelites, shoot'em'ups and bullet hells with a retro vibe you'll feel right at home there. In Pure's own words "Smooth, gracious, fast action gameplay, tailored to feel good to play." and I'll gladly agree with him. But words don't matter, just go check it out on Steam for yourself: http://store.steampowered.com/app/603960/Monolith/ or watch the trailer below:

Have fun!
