Hey everyone! I'm going to be attempting my first ever livestream for desktop dungeons this evening (nov 8)! Like I mentioned in the anniversary topic, I'll be doing a minimal-runs playthrough, where the goal is to beat Gaan-Telet while completing as few dungeon runs as possible. This imposes significant limits on what gets unlocked; most notably, you can't get the bank upgrades and as such can't save up enough money to unlock tier 3 classes! (or can you?) I credit Darvin for sharing this challenge idea some time ago; I think it's a really neat way to appraoch the game!
Basic rules:
-The playthrough lasts from the beginning of the game until victory in Hard Gaan-Telet
-Every dungeon run must aim to acquire a new trophy at the Taxidermist OR to unlock a dungeon which will lead to a new trophy, to progress the playthrough towards unlocking the final dungeon
-Upgrades and items can be unlocked only if they can normally be unlocked while playing according to the previous rule - no class challenges, no repeat of a dungeon to do a quest if it won't lead to a new trophy.
I've done some testing but I haven't done a full run, so this should be interesting I also don't know if I'll be able to do the full playthrough in one sitting, but I've set aside the entire evening and I expect it'll be a fun experience. So please come and join me if you like! Leave comments, ask questions, laugh at my mistakes... have fun!
Stream starts at 6pm, Eastern Standard Time!
