Links

The following list of links hopefully will be a useful help for ADOM players. Thanks to Richard Fowler for collecting a substantial amount of them (I stole quite a number of them from his mini FAQ) and thanks to everyone who created these wonderful sites and invested so much time in my small game. Here we go...

Also listed here are the important newsgroups concerning ADOM.

The ADOM FAQ - http://www.andywlms.com/adom/adomfaq.html

Seeking for answers? Out of ideas? Look at this wonderful and most comprehensive FAQ which either will directly answer all your questions or will direct you towards another source of support. Compiled and maintained by Léon Planken, the fifth ADOM FAQ Maintainer after Malte Helmert (who updated it to include a lot of useful information about the 1.x.x versions and fixed many mistakes), Steve Zhang, Richard Fowler (creator of a long series of extensive and lovingly detailed FAQ versions) and based on some early work by Erwin Mascardo (the first FAQ keeper), this document contains a wealth of information. It's hosted by Andy Williams.

The rec.games.roguelike.adom FAQ - http://www.andywlms.com/adom/rgrafaq.txt

Trying to understand what's going on in rec.games.roguelike.adom? This FAQ has all the answers to questions regarding the newsgroup. Initially created by Richard Fowler, afterwards maintained by Steve Zhang, Karkadinn and Malte Helmert and now kept up to date by Léon Planken, should be considered a must-read for every newbie to the newsgroup. It's hosted by Andy Williams.

ADOM Announcements - rec.games.roguelike.announce

Wanna know the latest stuff about roguelike games in general and ADOM in specific? This newsgroup does not have much traffic, but each and every posting (well, almost) opens a road to new adventurers and excitement.

ADOM Discussion - rec.games.roguelike.adom

Looking for other ADOM fans? Searching for hints? Lusting for stories? This newsgroup has it all and much more. The official ADOM newsgroup enjoys steady traffic by some of the most wonderful folks you can meet on Internet. Discussions most of the time are handled on a very friendly, funny and enjoyable level. You will be able to meet newbies, experienced players and some true dinosaurs all at the same time. And the designer of ADOM (yes, that's me) also lurks on that group, ready to jump into any discussion that captures his attention.

Raymond Martineau is the maintainer of the official ADOM spoiler FAQ, which can be found in it's most current incarnation at the adress above. if you are experiencing problems with some of the riddles in ADOM, you definitely want to check it out!

Richard Fowler for a long time hosted the Drakalor Chain Board of Tourism (DCBoT) with lots of spoilers and other stuff. Real life has kept Richard away from ADOM for quite some time but his site still is very interesting. Also the home of the ADOMring, a web ring for sites about ADOM (www.aleph-null.com/adom/adomring/ringhome.html). One of Richard's larger features is a "hint-through", which serves as a walkthrough of the whole game if you choose to activate all of the "spoiler traps". (You need to have JavaScript enabled in your web browser to appreciate it fully.) The hint-through has been updated to 0.9.9. Recently Richard let me know that his private wife (a lovely woman and such ;-) will demand more of his spare time in the future. I wish him all the best... and you should note that his site still is a lot of fun!

If you feel that some important or fun site is missing, please let me know about it. I'll try to get this page updated as soon as possible. If a link does not seem to work, make sure that you try again in a day or three to make sure that it's not a temporary problem. If the link still doesn't work, please let me know about it.
