Poschengband 7.1.1?

Dang. I'm quite sad to see that it has changed so much from previous incarnations given how much I loved this variant.

I loved this variant too and was sad when I heard it stopped. I changed to FrogComposBand. But after a while I got a little tired of it. The map makes exploring too easy, the quests became repetitive as well as the rewards. Although I still think FrogComposBand is a real great variant. I just needed something else.

Now I have the feeling of playing a real different flavour again. It takes a lot longer before I know the world without the map. That's good.

I really think this update is a good start for another variant with a different feel. Monsters coming through the stairs is great. The removal of recall scrolls and devices is also good, imo. The need to find a recall point makes the game more challenging and fun.

After this big step, I think there might be a lot of finetuning possibilities for PosChengBand, but I really like the step that was taken a lot.
Especially because the old PosChengBand and FrogComposBand really were too similar to exist next too each other.

There's now a 7.2.1 on the site which adds an Amber campaign and a new version of blue mage.

There is a world map, at least in 7.2.1

But the command to get to it is different. When you are in the wilderness, hit M and then M again

I am also liking this new take on PosCheng.
But have already lost a couple of chars to lack of "overland travel". Takes so long to trek to new dungeon/town I get stupid and hold down shift+D (running west).
Usually too late by the time I realise something is hitting me

I can't begin to tell you how many times that has happened in various games. Autorun! ...dead. In one PvP MMO: It should be safe to rest here, no one comes up this way. ...dead.

It'd be OK if the distances weren't so ridiculously long. It's just boring to walk across so many indistinguishable grids.

Found an option that helps a bit.
"Disturb whenever map screen changes".
Changed to true.
