I like the concept of the black market. I like that it offsets when you get really bad luck like I did with never being able to find certain item types. Unfortunately I had spent all of my money so I wasn't able to take advantage of it

It's actually an active action on part of the mushroom to spawn a new now, so with all of them dead, no new will spawn. However, it can be pretty tricky to get all of them when some can be currently invisible, teleported, etc.

Wow. No, never have seen mushrooms get quite so bad.
In 0.58, there is a config to stop mushrooms from multiplying while far away from you, for performance reasons. That would at least stem the tide of new mushrooms while you tried to kill them.

I like that you like it. 
That is exactly what it is supposed to do. Plus drain your excess cash, in those games where you would otherwise have thousands and no way to use them.

And the wands being mirrored was a nice touch!

Heh heh. Yeah, in CLIVAN, I would end with several chests of wands, just from the mages. That didn't seem right.
Is the dwarves mine field always in GC2? And I believe mines only appear in that room in that level.
If so then yeah it might be nice to prevent them from appearing in GC1. That way newbies aren’t taken totally off guard and experienced players have more time to find fire resistance.

Can be either GC2 or GC3, I think.
I tentatively like that, I think.
Yeah I think mustard gas traps are still invisible.
Invisible how? They should be invisible only until you trigger them the first time, then seen normally as an active trap (with the little exclamation mark). Or is that still bugged?
I don't think mustard gas is that bad. You can't stand in it, but it there are multiple ways to counter it: sipping healing, regeneration, gas immunity. And to prevent it, you still have searching (with the ring, manually it's way too tedious) and levitation.
Speaking of levitation, it is kinda OP. Currently, it's only balanced by being really rare and hard to get.

does having a powerful pet affect your danger level?
AFAIK no, only the player's danger level is taken into account when spawning enemies.

I'm really looking forward to this!

Congrats on the challenge.
Were you using the mantle without telecontrol?

Planning for Release
in forum IVAN Development
To continue the reign of free software, we will return to gcc for our next build, ironically in the heart of Microsoft's infra.
And there was much cursing and wailing in the streets of Attnam, for it is said in the holy book of Valpurus: "Windows is Evil."

I like to keep Kenny with me. He will soak some hits from a hedgehog or two, and when he gets killed I can eat him.

I was never able to keep a permanent pet (they always get lost, or instagibbed by something), but having a lyre of charm is an absolute blessing. Just charm a bunch of meat shields, and you will have a much easier time.

Levitation
in forum Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
A "drawback" of levitation is its rarity. You can only get it from two items, both of which need to be wished for (or you do the Sumo quest).
I don't think the unability to pick things up would work in IVAN. In NetHack, levitation items are often cursed, which makes that inability an interesting problem. In IVAN, you would just take off the belt over each and every item, and be very annoyed.
I kinda like the increased knockback. That could be fun.
BTW, levitation is even better that you'd think. It also gives you a sizeable bonus to dodge chance.
