10 years of not playing
After having not played for about 10 years, I went and did a few runs of my old reliable, gargoyle fighter, with a couple runs going to 5 runes before my discipline failed them. What are some fun new combos to try out? I used to enjoy high elves sword&sorcery but I see that this race is gone, anything that would fill that kind of fantasy?

Favorite race?
Recently gave Hill Orcs more of a chance and realized, they're quite cool. Any others I should be looking at?

Call Imp spell got changed
Probably since 0.30, the imp summoned by "Call Imp" now has a spear to poke enemies from behind you. The imp also doesn't blink around anymore.

Trunk Updates 11 Jan 2023
Personal highlights: > Many monsters (boulder beetles, two-headed ogres, various orcs…) do less damage.
Been surprised by how hard these hit many times. 🙃
> Bumping a foe while holding a ranged weapon now automatically shoots instead of asking if you want to hit the foe over the head with your bow.
Makes playing purely-ranged characters a lot less annoying.
> When worshipping at a faded altar, the player is given a preview of three gods the altar might belong to.
So far, it felt 'optimal' to always gamble and just throw away a character when you get a bad god. Now it feels a lot more like an actual decision.

My Spectral Electric Eels still seem to be confused about leaving the water...
They can fly, but they'd rather not do it over land. Apparently.

Starting as an Earth Elementalist after Sandblast doesn't need stones anymore...
Noticed on Trunk that Sandblast doesn't need stones anymore and figured I should do a serious run with a GrEE. Of course, now the game gives me lots of stones...

You hear the rusting of a very distant drain.
In the farthest corner and just one small corridor leading up to it...
