I saw a few of you playing your first game and making sense of the commands. A quick cheat sheet:

* `5` to rest until healed, status effects are gone, etc.

* `o` to autoexplore

* `i` for your inventory

* `z` to cast magic, `I` to view your known spells, `M` to learn new spells

* `a` for your (god) abilities.

* `m` to choose which skills to train

* `Tab` to attack the closest enemy or move towards it

* `<` and `>` to move up and down stairs

* `?` for the help menu

My suggestion for the first game: Minotaur Fighter or Berserker. Ignore any magic character for the time being.

The built-in tutorial is, I think, the best way to learn the game. After that, playing with hints mode on (as the tutorial suggests).
