#dungeon crawl stone soup

I am OBSESSED with the most niche character on planet Earth. Him 👇

Pargi the meek is an unusually thin and nervous troll from the game Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. DCSS is a free open source rougelike game that has been constantly updating since 1997. It's incredible and you should play it.

Anyway, back to Pargi. He is usually found in the sewers and is super weak and apparently lives in the sewers or the higher dungeon floors as a result of being bullied by other trolls.

Now, I would already just let Pargi ruin my run because of how endeared I am to him, but it gets better.

Very VERY rarely, Pargi will show up as Pargit the mighty, an unusually strong troll (I have never seen this.) And this is the in-game flavor text when you inspect Pargit. 👇

Ndkskfbdjjcbdksgs? The underdog lore??? The Mr Baseball meme????? *sobbing*

So basically Pargit will instantly fuck you up with his insanely strong claws, large rocks that he throws, and his astonishing +27 HP per turn regeneration.

I am sobbing. I love Pargi/Parghit so much. I will be making fan art of Pargi even though not a single soul on Earth loves this stupid, weak, bullied little sewer troll like I do.

I'm a grown ass adult, and something about this little troll has really done it to me. ;; Every dungeon run I do, I simply want to find Pargi. Winning is no longer the goal.

Thinking about Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup v.26

It's kind of wierd that the Dungeon Meshi comics were really taking off around that time and the dev team decided "you know what would make this game more engaging for the next revision? If we removed butchering and eating the monsters in the dungeon."

Anyway, I'm not playing it much these days, but I've got fond memories of my few times that I cleared the dungeon, and how the only build that I made it through with more than once was a Kobold Berserker who would eat absolutely everything.

gonna revisit an old game i used to play a ton! its oldschool enough to not have music, though, so music recs are open ^^

Drew the old sprite of the DCSS Cacodemon out of nostalgia for the game and in memoriam of chunky caco

Included is some interesting process for interpreting the face from the pixel art, I still think he's sticking his tongue out

hows the crawling going

First of all I love you forever for asking, second of all I got killed in the shoals by a kraken a couple days ago and am still heartbroken, so it's about average as far as dcss goes!

Fun DCSS things: encountering the ghosts of previous characters, Gay and Boys Night

Wow, I sure do love turn-based roguelikes. I just lost a character with really good equipment because I accidentally pressed attack twice instead of once when I had 5 potions of heal wounds. Cool.
