My minions, I am happy and pround to give you Tales of Maj'Eyal 1.2.0 ! See http://te4.org/
Your launcher should automatically update your game so no need to redownload it all.
If your launcher didn't self-update correctly, just redownload it from the homepage and overwrite it.

Enjoy and have fun in Eyal!

Don't forget to help ToME by with donations ( http://te4.org/donate ) !

« on: January 29, 2014, 11:17:35 AM »
Last year module contest ended with the creation of 6 new full blown roguelikes. In the same spirit, and to vary pleasures a little, I present you the addons contest of 2014!

Always wanted to try your hand at coding stuff but didn't feel ready for a whole game? Had this great quest idea ?
Now is your chance!

Come and make new quest addons for Tales of Maj'Eyal!

Other Announcements / Re: Felicia Day endorses Tome 4
« on: January 29, 2014, 10:58:34 AM »
OMG, didn't check the temple for some days and I discover this thread.
This is true, this is an embarrassment to roguelike community. When somebody say a nice thing about you or your community you smile or say thanks you do not *bite the hand that feeds you*

Are you people out of your minds? That you like tome or not doesn't even matter, it's publicity for roguelikes; what's not to like?
As for miss Felicia Day, whether you like her or not, she is known and not for how she looks; she has made some awesome stuff online. You do not have to like what she does, but you have to respect it.

Or would you prefer we go back to the age of "roguelikes are dated and doomed, nobody plays them anymore" ? If not, you must realize that marketing, publicity and word-of-mouth is vital.

Oh and Krice, it is very rare when I get really angry at somebody but let me put it in simple words for you: your opinions about women is simply terrible, offencive and wrong; and I am not even a woman, I can hardly imagine how the ladies reading your posts must feel. Please go crawl back to your corner to develop the game you want nobody to play. Or maybe simply try to not insult half the world's population with every post.
