    And my first death in Shiren came at the hands of a Death Reaper fittingly enough in the Old Mine. On my 4th or so attempt to explore the mine after running from all the damned Spike Bombs that almost killed me my first time fighting them, where I survived the explosion with 1hp...

    Just got the game yesterday afternoon and have been enjoying it immensely so far. I've never really played any roguelikes before Shiren and man is Shiren full of WIN! As punishing is Shiren's perma-death system is, I love it. Nothing more is accelerating then the fear of loosing your level progress and buffed up items. Honestly the last time I had this much fun was trying to achieve the survivor title in Lord of the Rings Online, the perma-death just adds a ton to the enjoyment of the game (and not having to redo small story segments in Shiren is a big plus)..

    I'll try and work on a something with a short FAQ so that lowlylowlycook can slap on the 1st post. Hopefully others whom are more familiar with Shiren are able to help too...

    Hopefully more people here will pick this up, I can't wait for the rescue request to ramp up :lol:

    Rescue your fellow Wanderers!

    hey, when you guys request a rescue, please leave what level you died on and the circumstances that lead to your death (e.g. monster house, super-mamel)

    edit: oh, and post a rescue code instead of a friend code, so anyone can take a crack at rescuing you, not just your friends.

    Powder has one of the most interesting control schemes I've ever seen - and it works perfectly for a roguelike on a non-computer platform.

    Right, don't be an idiot like me. I left the friend code for friend code purposes though. No longer needing the rescue now.

    Yeah, actually I was the one who rescued you. Found your request on the wifi list, and also sent ya a polearm I had lying around. Seems all the rescues I do involve monster houses. Your rescue wasn't as tough, since I just had to use a scroll of sleep. But the first one, I had to pull every trick out of the bag for that one.


    At least I got an armband and mastersword for my troubles.

    I think I should also add my friend code to the pile: 2578-2734-2707.

    I'm also awaiting a rescue, WFC code 0000-0000-0560. I'm on the lower levels of Table Mountain, if you can help a guy out.

    And just ran into my first Monster House, now I see why they get a bad reputation...Ouch. Could use a rescue again... 0000-0000-1449

    Thanks for rescuing me earlier Deswa, unfortunately I had nothing in my warehouse yet to thank you with. I wish the warehouse and storage centers were connected, as not having a way back to the 1st town to drop things in the warehouse, I'm finding it kinda useless.

    Hey guys, I could use a rescue too. I got a Monster House, first one, rescue code 0000-0000-1464. There's a crapload of items in there, and some REALLY weak monsters. Curse girls and Tiger Uhos, really nothing I couldn't handle until I got hit with a Spike Bomb explosion.

    I actually love getting in monster houses. I have yet to die in one, woo. Also, I dont mind the lack of item. I got an awesome shield, armband, and a mastersword out of it.

    On my way Varega.

    Speaking of the puzzles, when I beat them all, Fay said something like "oh, I guess I'll have to build some harder puzzles". Does he ever actually do that? It's been a while since then, and he still just has the same 50 puzzles.

    i dont understand this... do they look at the box art and say "well its okay i guess" "lets make it gayer for the americans"

    Or perhaps they show it to a "target audience" of soccer moms and inbred rednecks.

    You should really always use a herb/scroll of site on a monster house, saves a lot of trouble.

    I'm really enjoying Shiren - just not when your inept NPCs all get killed by the same tank, then (now leveled up twice) paints the walls with Shiren chunks (accented with Mastersword +33 and Iron Shield +22 fragments).

    On that note, can someone save my past 2 days of play? I'm on the 12th or 13th floor.

    i have a question.... is it possible to take a bag of money off the ground... and place it in a pot?

    I'd rather like to have "pots of wealth" laying about in my store rooms.

    p.s. if a level looks kinda small... use a sight scroll... i just found a room full of moneybags because an ant soldier dug his way out of it.
