OMG this awesome dude. I hate you for introducing me to this! I didnt read your victory post, whats your favorite character type?

Minotaur Monks are my favorite--that's the character I won with. I also like Hill Dwarf or Mountain Dwarf Gladiators.
For a spellcaster, Deep Elf Ice Elementalist or Fire Elementalist.
When you're just starting out, the one thing you need to know is that you have to 'D'isect corpses and carry around the chunks. 'e'at the chunks when hungry. Everything else you can learn as you go.
Once you've got into the game more, I recommend you read some beginner strategy/tactics posts by Erik Piper:
"a" the Human Fighter
b the Deep Elf Conjurer Part 1
b the Deep Elf Conjurer Part 2
Good luck!
