Thanks for the feedback, I cannot claim much personal credit for introducing the Kangband material though. Gwarl, the developer of Composband, is a big fan of your variant and drew a lot of inspiration from it And the thieves quest is an oldie-but-goodie that's been included in FrogComposband's ancestors for probably decades in some form or another.

I did play and like Kangband too, though; and know your variant introduced a lot of interesting ideas taken up by others since.

Hi, this is Ken Wigle. I made kangband a very long time ago, then real life took over. I just recently checked on what angband variants were up to nowadays. I was so pleasantly surprised to see that your variant included some of the stuff from kangband and just so happy to see them included. I chuckled when I saw the thieve's quest was still there. Thanks for making my day and the variant looks good. Will be playing it.
