The Horrible Ideas Thread

Two former humans.

[raekuul]

...and a Doomguy without a BFG!

Anyhow, here's a really bad idea.

Silver Bullets
Alternate ammunition for 10mm weapons
Instantly kills humans

...did you just doomify the 12 Days of Christmas?!

[Uranium]

And I hit post before I spread my glorious ideas :P

The Hoe of Destruction
"I am the Avatar, paragon of virtue and exploding gardening implements!"
Damage - 5d7
Alt-fire allows you to hit enemies two squares away from you, but only at 4d7 damage.
Deals fire damage.
Has a one in five chance of creating a tac. rocket launcher explosion on the enemy you hit with alt-fire.

...and a Doomguy without a BFG!

Sweet!  You caught what I wanted to do.  =P

A terminal where DoomGuy can play DoomRL on it.  Time outside still passes as usual, so DoomGuy can still get hit outside...

A true demonstration of the extensible nature of DoomRL.  =O

Solar Gun - 4d5 fire-damage shotgun, self-recharging ammo.
Sunny Charge - Inventory item. Use it to go from Tired to Cautious.
Eclipse Whip - 3d3x3 plasma damage pistol.
Bright Sword - 9d3 melee weapon, fire damage.

And another thing...

Pretentiously Named Weapon
81d1 plasma damage [200/200]
Consumes 50 Power Cells/shot
I should probably say something witty here.

...did you just doomify the 12 Days of Christmas?!

On the 12th level of Deimos
DoomRL gave to me
12 berserk packs
11 cyberdemons
10 shambler's shambling
9 barons blasting
8 demons roaring
7 lost souls flying
6 imps a-firing
5 revenants
4 hell knights
3 cacodemons
2 former humans
and a doomguy without BFG

...it was just too silly to resist :D

Angel of Angels

Just like a regular Angel weapon restriction game, except you can choose which weapon or weapon class you wish to restrict yourself to (any at all). The catch is that all enemies also use the weapon you use. For example, if you choose regular shotguns, or the shotgun class as in AoSh, every single enemy uses the regular shotgun/the shotgun class (i suppose they could be randomly distributed, or distributed according to hierachy IE former humans get regular shotgun, mancubi get power-modded assault shotguns) as well. Yes, even the lost souls, barons of hell, Cyberdemons and what have you.

I vote Game Hunter record this in song (full version, so the whole counting up from first day till the twelfth) and put it on youtube for all of us to loop.  =D

That would be win. A doomrl Christmas!

On-topic: It should be possible to implement one or more of the ideas in this thread if what i've heard about modding becoming easier and more accessible is true. That would also be win.
