A wiki would be useful, with an organized bug list and and readouts of all the mutations and such.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

Btw, small annoying bugs:

Your friendly beguiled pets get angry at fire. They don't complain about any powers, but if you have spontaneous combustion or catches on fire accidentally, they get pissy and start hitting you.

Has there been a wiki created for this yet?
I don't think so.

Well, it's not the type of wiki you all are talking about, but I wrote up the beginings of a Caves Of Qud TvTropes page.

'kay. Added Roguelike as trope and am thinking for some others. Unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable enough about the game D:


Does it still count as an obvious Beta?

Some tropes that should be on there:
Monsters Everywhere.
Trial And Error Gameplay.
Random Number God.
Yet Another Stupid Death.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

You may have wanted to ask the dev if he wanted a page on tvtropes. There is a significant difference between posting the game on some tech savvy forums for bug busting, and making a TvTropes page for it. I'll grant that it IS an open beta, but it's his choice, especially since its a beta.

It'll gain popularity from being on TvTropes. What possible harm could come from that? If unormal doesn't want it there, I'll delete all trace it ever was on the site, but I don't see how there could be a problem.

Moving back to the game itself, I believe I found a sweet spot for grinding, provided you can make it there. The rivers south of the ruins are home to extremely nasty monsters call madpoles. They love to swarm, hit hard, and disembowelg you pretty fast. My first encounter consisted of me entering a water tile via world map, only to find myself surrounded by the little bastards and becoming dismembered in seconds.

There's a wonderful catch though; madpoles can not walk on land; so all you need to do is run the range with a decent ranged weapon, wandering near the shore to draw the madpoles near, stepping back when they close in, and then fill them full of holes; they are amazingly weak and go down in a few shots. I'm currently level 20 and earning 270 XP per madpole, so just imagine the XP you would get on lower levels.

The author of the game has no say over whether someone posts a page about his game on any other website unless they are including copyrighted information or somehow infringing his legal rights. This is neither, so even if he doesn't want it he cannot do anything about it beyond writing tvtropes and asking them to remove it which I seriously doubt would happen without a better reason than "I don't like it".

I never said he had a right to force TvTropes to pull the page. What I said was that, since this is a CLEAR beta game, perhaps the author would appreciate not getting massive hype for it and having people play and judge it before its ready, or perhaps he does. I don't know. I just thought it might be nice to ask him first, since he is letting us play it and test it for him.

There is no such thing as notability.


Also, DF itself is only Alpha and also has a page so...
