Awsome! So awsome!

So, will the new dungeons be incorporated into official releases, or will they work as a plug-in? As in, we post our dungeons here and everyone can pick what they like and add it into their game, or we post and playtest, then put it into new release for everyone?

About the hand surgery part - wouldn't it be possible to equip your pet with two shields? They should only kick you, then.

Wolf packs would be very interesting addition, indeed. I was also thinking about Angband, reading this.

I really really like the way monsters use wands against you in CLIVAN. Especially the goblin warlocks, with their wands of door creation, acid rain and teleportation are deliciously aggravating.

Is there a predetermined number of secret roons? ie 1 obvious 1 not so obvious amd 1 super secret?

Also can they only appear in the GC or cam there be secret rooms in the UT?

Yes, as of now, all special rooms are predetermined and always exist in each game, only their location is randomized.

I'd be all for having chance-based generation of special rooms, because that would allow for hundreds of hand-made rooms with special contents, only a handful chosen for each game. Much more variety, much more fun.

World wrapping unto itself? That souds great!

It would be awsome to then add some towns (Mondedr and such) rather far apart, as to allow and promote actual exploration of the overworld.

Yes! Please, let's make Valpurium green.

Golden Valpurium is weird and indistiguishable from gold. I find the green one much nicer and more fitting.

This sounds very cool, I can't wait to try it.

The first timer grants you gifts/allies/stats passively?

Dress code sounds very nice, as does the change to the prayer books. But why change the way they work now? You could have two possible benefits from a book: either read it until it disappears for a piety boost, or let it sit in your inventory and empower your prayers. Or would the piety boost be too powerful under the new system?

The only thing that might disturb the balance of the game if the shops were to restock, as far as I can imagine, would be infinite enchant scrolls from the library. However, I say let that be, as it would require truckload of grinding and patience to buy enough of them to encahnt all your gear beyond reason.

I always thought it's much better to squash all easy to exploit bugs than to try to stop hevay grind player - they will always find a way and many of these changes are just killing some fun for the majority, who will never grind or farm too much simply because it's boring.

If anyone was determined to follow Mellis by becoming the world's greatest trader, I say let them mine whole dungeon levels and sell the rocks and stuff to burn through hundreds of enchant scrolls chasing utter overpoweredness - they earn it if they can keep doing this for as long as it may take. It's already possible to enchant your gear to very high levels with a wand of cloning/mirroring, so adding more scrolls will not change this much, as they tend to work extremely rarely when you reach higher enchantments.

But if enchanting is still concern, items could be made to explode from overenchanting - until +9 you're safe, but then every successful enchanting may break or outright destroy the item. No, it does not prevent eternal grinding, because I hate preventing options. But it makes it much less worthwile.

It would be interesting if shopkeepers restocked their shops. Let's say that every day when you're not on the map/floor, all items in the shop are restocked (as when first generated) and the shopkeepers' gold restored.
