In regards to row limit - that's what I was assuming. Not a lot of room to play with in the screen: there's 22 rows used for text, with 2 presumably blank rows used for formatting (one at the top, it...

I wonder if it could be souped up without making it over the top. Perhaps "hold" has a monster go through 2 states.

1. Existing turn range of held.
2. Then, a turn range of being "groggy" and in...

Is any of this in the in-game manual?

Also, the text you see as you interact with key binding and saving could benefit from a callout on the general topic.

Improvements to the Character screen's gear/attribute grid

Over the years, lots more useful stuff has shown up on the Character screen's "gear grid" (for want of a better term). However, there's a downside to this growth that I've noticed with newer players:...

I would also be on the side that says the less lines of non-important text present, the better. There's always a wealth of things that can be useful to show the player. A fluff title doesn't strike...

I did a quick visit to town, the first dlvl, and tried a couple town quests. Here's a few minor (mostly name/word/text related) comments. More broadly, however, I'm really intrigued by all the cool...

Angband now has a long history of filing down those early sharp edges so new players can find engagement and fun when shallow in the dungeon, instead of tripping over mean gotchas left and right.

Idea: Improve Scroll of Deep Descent for new players, and deep players.

Deep Descent scrolls can show up on the first dungeon level, and I've been seeing new players get an unhappy shock when reading them un-ID.

While it's good for a new player to learn that using...

The CRPG Addict has begun playing Angband. Link inside!

Ten years ago, the CRPG Addict set himself a ridiculously ambitious goal: to play, and win where possible, every computer-based RPG ever made, in order of release.

A decade on, and he is still...

Perhaps breaking it down by / organizing class would be beneficial, to ensure everyone gets some interesting benefit. That is, for example, what benefits does a rogue get from it? Priest? etc.

O dang, you're all in on getting the player up in the baddy's grill, eh? The closer you are, the burlier the ban hammer.

A 2.8.2 player returns! Some sundry thoughts and impressions as I dive.

Howdy! I haven't played angband in moons pretty much, but did play vanilla and a variant quite a good bit in pre 3.0 days (2.8.1 or 2.8.2).

Man, it's been a while, but I've found that my old...
