I'M BORED AND I WANT TO MOD A ROGUELIKE.

Can someone recommend me one other than Dungeons of Dredmor?

...Dwarf fortress?

How do you deliberately crutch a dwarf who seems to have no urge to go to the hospital and be diagnosed with "walklessness?"

I actually just returned to this thread to edit my OP to say "Also other than Dwarf Fortress" because I knew that would be the first suggestion otherwise

also mainly because I've modded DF half to death already.

What kind of modding are you looking for? Something with instructions, like DF or DoD, or an open-source one that you can do whatever you want with (if you know how to code)?

If the latter, then you could make your own. Or, Cataclysm is pretty cool.

Cataclysm is that zombie roguelike, eh?
I'll give it a try, but personally I was looking for something a bit more aangbandish. If it's really fun then it might satiate my modding urges.

As to whether it's something with instructions or open source, I'd prefer something with either instructions or some kind of tutorials to get me started if it's open source.

also I'll look up Prospector RL after Cataclysm.

... all the *bands.

There's also the latest incarnation of ToME, which is mostly in Lua.

Both the gearheads (at least pre-lua conversion for GH2) are pretty easy to add items and mecha to. Missions and suchlike are a bit more fiddly.

Probably more I'm forgetting. Lots of RLs are open source, so... yeah.

Is there a good *Band to start from?
also have been playing cataclysm. Jolly good fun. Drank a soda and threw it at a zombie. Missed, but my point was made.
Gonna try modding it now.

Personally, I only play Sangband nowadays. It satisfies my skill-progression urges.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

Steamband was fun for a change of pace.  And yea gearheads would be cool, and ToME4 shouldn't be too hard - Lord Bucket had a pretty good start at a Bubblegum Crisis mod for ToME3...

You could also Mod FTL a bit, if you like that game.
