In addition to this, in the Roguelike thread over in Games madjackmcmad (developer of Dungeonmans) is running an altruistic feed the hungry giveaway, where, depending on how his D20 rolls you might win a copy of Darkest Dungeon:
http://dungeonmans.com/hungerclock/

The idea is you contribute $10 to alleviating hunger somehow and provide proof of it at the site above. You can say "I want game (x)" (out of the list at the site) and get a key for it, and you are entered into a pseudo-random draw (pfft like physical dice can even approach true random) that might net you one of the Darkest Dungeon keys on offer. Eh? Eh? $10 for a probably good game and a chance to win Darkest Dungeon? You guys should probably go for it.

The Sproggiewood/CoQ guys are involved too so you can ask for that key if that's what you're into.

The cause is also relevant to this lp, not because darkest dungeon, but because Highwang buys way too much drat food that he doesn't intend to eat.

So using the bonfire at the end of a dungeon is really good because you can get a lot of stress relief. HOWEVER this is only really useful if:
- you're going to use the same team in the next dungeon
- you don't have a drat JESTER TO DEAL WITH STRESS RELIEF.

Honest question, Highwang. Why aren't you using Bloodthirst Rings? I like to get 2, especially for longer missions. You can easily make it without overloading on food or wasting too many trinket slots.

Fair enough, though I'm surprised you don't have any yet. They show up as quest rewards often enough for me and I make a point of grabbing a couple early.

8 per bonfire and then enough food to handle 3 hunger events is generally my rule of thumb for long missions. It's exceptionally rare that I get more than 3 hunger events in ANY dungeon I've run and the only time I've actually suffered from them is when I tossed my food to make room for more stuff.

Usually as I was about to end the dungeon. Toss your food especially if you're about to end your dungeon.

I don't see a problem. I don't have the problem, you all have the problem!

On a more serious note, we're gonna be using this thanksgiving weekend as a small break from the LP. Been going full bore for about 16 weeks, and now Chitlin and I need time to cool down and consume copious amounts of turkey. We should continue by next monday.

4x bloodthirst/fasting seals is legit good for cash runs, though.

You can ditch a healer and get tons of free slots for extra gold/jewels since you don't have to be paranoid about food. And any food you find is free healing.

And hey, Wayne June is a pretty chill guy and I bet that if you showed him this thread and your paranoia he would do a little unofficial voice line for us to mock Highwang with. Failing that, we just need to find someone to sperg out and record their best Ancestor impersonation.


The cost of paranoia, measured now in food, later, in gold.

When I read this I had a cheap headset lying on the desk from back when I played There Came an Echo. I decided to try it but unfortunately I can't do the Ancestor's voice very well. Voice-wise I'm an androgynous tenor and he's... kinda not.

Does anyone else want to try? And if not, how bad an Ancestor impression are we willing to tolerate here?
