Is there something like a short beginner's guide on Crawl that covers things like "these classes should wear this type of armour, avoid wearing that sort of gear, focus on these skills, this is how you enable/disable them, lala"? Unfortunately common sense doesn't really work when item descriptions don't mention nasty side effects like shields making mages useless, or whether or not dodge is more useful to class X than extra armour.

Have you tried the ingame help files? They're pretty much a full game manual and surprisingly useful.
Just pressing enter at the character select screen should load your most recently used character. Or use the arrow keys to highlight the one you want to play.
If you save and exit in Stone Soup, the next time you launch it you're given the option to either create a new character or resume your old one. Not sure why you're having trouble with it o.O
You know what's awesome? Finding a caravan with Boots of Levitation and then finding a jewelry shop with an Amulet of Controlled Flight right before I decide to explore the Shoals for the first time.
Welp. Messed up in the Elven Halls but that was a good run. Got tons of spellbooks including the Nerconomicon. Cleared out Snake Pits and The Swamp for their runes. Probably the best part of this run was finding a Staff of Conjurations pretty early. Poison Arrow is so good.
Character Dump for those interested.

Most people leave the elven halls for after Vault 1-7, I think. I usually leave them until I've cleared Vaults and the main dungeon, and maybe the Slime Pits. End up breezing through the first floors but the last one can still be nuts.
Is there a way to see your "Notes" before you die? I'm pretty sure I avoided Sigmund several floors back, and I want to find out where so I can go back and kill him.

What's the shortcut for Notes anyway? Because I can't find it in the help files and I have to resort to good'ol pen&paper.

I'm getting more and more terrified as I go with this character. Still playing the same spriggan venom mage. I actually have 3 runes and Geryon's horn. I am quite terrified the later levels of the Dungeon and Zot are going to destroy me somehow, as I am sorely lacking various resistances. And yet I am slaughtering most every place I find so far with careful strategery.
Vaults 8 had to be one of my roughest times. I constantly need to regen my mana, and it's REALLY hard to do so when you have stone giants, dragons, guards, yaktaurs, etc. respawning and chasing you around the map. However, with the aid of the BEST SPELL EVER I was able to do it.
And that best spell is summon butterflies. You'd think summoning a bunch of butterflies would be absolute pointlessness, but when it summons about 6-10 at once, and costs 1 mana, you can spam them like crazy and the silly monsters will swat at them/try to fire through them and fail miserably. It's even better than spammals!
And the other best spell is Orb of Destruction. Especially being a spriggan and even more so while hasted. Since they are a slowish homing orb, you can fire off a couple and then run around the corner. Or just fire them off rapid-fire and giggle as things literally explode. Just be careful you don't fire them off too fast as they do collide in mid-air and explode (ask me how I know!).
Here's my character dump if anyone's curious or has any tips. I am absolutely drowning in spellbooks, I might have every spell in the game somewhere at least. Sif Muna sure is great for that.

Welcome back, Raveena the Spriggan Venom Mage.
Sif Muna whispers: I know many secrets...
Press ? for a list of commands and other information.
Edit: And finally she died on Zot:2. Holy crap there is no way that character should have lived as long as it did. The complete lack of equipment just really made things a lot harder than they should have been, I think. And it's really hard to get mutations as a spriggan when you can't eat meat and there aren't many potions of mutation. On the other hand, boy have I learned a heck of a lot that should make the next character much easier.
Would it be worth it to play a race that can actually eat meat for mutations and such, and can wear decent armor? Or would the speed and such of the spriggan be better than that really? Maybe I just need to hope I get lucky with gear, cuz spriggan speed is just sick.
So usually in Crawl, it's safe to drink the potions you have the most of, as they're one of the two healing potions. However, not always: somehow, before dungeon level six, I apparently managed to pick up five degeneration potions. Imagine my surprise when I, wounded, used it amidst a pack of berserk gnolls...
Crawl question - does anyone know why I can't find my Morgue directory? It's supposed to be in the crawl base directory right? Except it's not. And I'm still getting ghosts so it's obviously somewhere...
I started my first game tonight, wizard. Got to the mines with -7 AC and skilled in daggers and just about everything except a regular gnome kicks my ass. I had to drop 2-3 heals after every other fight and abuse Elbereth like never before. I just barely escaped from elves twice. I ended up getting killed by faster things than me in minetown while blind
It seems substantially harder to kill anything and everything hits much harder, not getting force bolt didn't help either.
Crawl question - does anyone know why I can't find my Morgue directory? It's supposed to be in the crawl base directory right? Except it's not. And I'm still getting ghosts so it's obviously somewhere...
I believe you need to delete the "bones" files in your saves directory. They will be called "bones.04a" and "bones.12a" and so on.
Mutations that you get from meat are almost always bad ones.
Only if the meat is rotten. Otherwise, it's random (which I think is weighted towards good, because there are more good mutations). To get around not being able to eat mutagenic chunks, grab Fulsome Distillation, which will let you make a potion of mutation out of the corpses.

There's clearly something wonky with my install, because I can't find a "saves" directory either. But of course I can save and load my characters just fine so... very confused.
I had a great little army going. Thenl one of those floating fungus bomb things collided with my orc crew, they all got confused, beat eachother up a bit (Making me lose piety.) then my most powerful Orc Knight two shotted me with his Morningstar of Freezing.

Oh man, thank you so much for pointing that out. Wouldn't have figured that out as I haven't played a transmuter much and probably wouldn't have thought of that. That character even had a book with that spell in it. Something to definitely utilize for the next caster I play.
Has anyone ever won with an orc priest army setup? It's fun, but seems fundamentally flawed.
Heh, if I'm reading this right, the highest-scoring hill orc priest worshipped TSO.
Somebody has won 231 times...
I'm imaging you have to probably ditch the Orc Deity for someone else later, because the whole Orc army shtick probably can't last that long since they aren't THAT strong. That is unless they don't actually max out.
Which spells can break undiggable walls. I know about Shatter and I think Lee's rapid deconstruction does, but what else?

Have you tried the ingame help files? They're pretty much a full game manual and surprisingly useful.
But it's true.
What are in-game hints these days?
"Press 'A' to jump over obstacles!"
Except you're hour 50 into the game.
Fuck me
I forgot that crawl is accuracy then damage, things should go smoother now

Bookish Stickers - Mrs. Rius' Etsy shop with bumper stickers and vinyl decals.
Vaults 8 had to be one of my roughest times. I constantly need to regen my mana, and it's REALLY hard to do so when you have stone giants, dragons, guards, yaktaurs, etc. respawning and chasing you around the map. However, with the aid of the BEST SPELL EVER I was able to do it.
And that best spell is summon butterflies. You'd think summoning a bunch of butterflies would be absolute pointlessness, but when it summons about 6-10 at once, and costs 1 mana, you can spam them like crazy and the silly monsters will swat at them/try to fire through them and fail miserably. It's even better than spammals!
And the other best spell is Orb of Destruction. Especially being a spriggan and even more so while hasted. Since they are a slowish homing orb, you can fire off a couple and then run around the corner. Or just fire them off rapid-fire and giggle as things literally explode. Just be careful you don't fire them off too fast as they do collide in mid-air and explode (ask me how I know!).
Here's my character dump if anyone's curious or has any tips. I am absolutely drowning in spellbooks, I might have every spell in the game somewhere at least. Sif Muna sure is great for that.

There are no monsters in sight!
Edit: And finally she died on Zot:2. Holy crap there is no way that character should have lived as long as it did. The complete lack of equipment just really made things a lot harder than they should have been, I think. And it's really hard to get mutations as a spriggan when you can't eat meat and there aren't many potions of mutation. On the other hand, boy have I learned a heck of a lot that should make the next character much easier.
Would it be worth it to play a race that can actually eat meat for mutations and such, and can wear decent armor? Or would the speed and such of the spriggan be better than that really? Maybe I just need to hope I get lucky with gear, cuz spriggan speed is just sick.
I thought i hit edit.
I started my first game tonight, wizard. Got to the mines with -7 AC and skilled in daggers and just about everything except a regular gnome kicks my ass. I had to drop 2-3 heals after every other fight and abuse Elbereth like never before. I just barely escaped from elves twice. I ended up getting killed by faster things than me in minetown while blind
It seems substantially harder to kill anything and everything hits much harder, not getting force bolt didn't help either.
I believe you need to delete the "bones" files in your saves directory. They will be called "bones.04a" and "bones.12a" and so on.
Only if the meat is rotten. Otherwise, it's random (which I think is weighted towards good, because there are more good mutations). To get around not being able to eat mutagenic chunks, grab Fulsome Distillation, which will let you make a potion of mutation out of the corpses.
There's clearly something wonky with my install, because I can't find a "saves" directory either. But of course I can save and load my characters just fine so... very confused.
I had a great little army going. Thenl one of those floating fungus bomb things collided with my orc crew, they all got confused, beat eachother up a bit (Making me lose piety.) then my most powerful Orc Knight two shotted me with his Morningstar of Freezing.
Heh, if I'm reading this right, the highest-scoring hill orc priest worshipped TSO.
Somebody has won 231 times...
Oh man, thank you so much for pointing that out. Wouldn't have figured that out as I haven't played a transmuter much and probably wouldn't have thought of that. That character even had a book with that spell in it. Something to definitely utilize for the next caster I play.
I'm imaging you have to probably ditch the Orc Deity for someone else later, because the whole Orc army shtick probably can't last that long since they aren't THAT strong. That is unless they don't actually max out.
Priest - Crypt - Start adjacent to Glowing Guardian shrine. Took down my first boss at level 5.
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.
I'm interested in seeing these records you're looking at. I'd like a class/race that's statistically likely to survive
Mountain Dwarf Fighter is meant to be the best I think. There's a flowchart and everything.
