A good game, in my opinion, is one in which you beat your own score. You don't have to win in order to have a good game (that is a fantastic game). I myself have only reached as high as level 24 only to be swept away by an Umber Hulk. In my opinion, I think a great armor class, and a ring of stealth really make the game, but I am extremely happy when I get a two handed sword. A scroll of genocide is always nice (nice, it's GREAT) but then comes the decision of which monster to get rid of. I usually toss up about either xorns or hulks, only because if you are really having trouble with anything less, you'll never get to meet the hard-hitters. I think I know how to handle dragons and hulks, but I have always had trouble with xorns. Any ideas? Thanks............rabbit!rbc
