In my opinion, it's a valid 'escape.' Just imagine being trapped in a corridor with high level monsters, like Unrelenting Horrors, Troll guards, Vampires, Ancient Serpents, etc...

Of the listed changes the only one that annoys me is sometimes it would be nice to have a squelch system but it is not bad. I hate leaving items on the dungeon floor so I have to pick up and destroy everything and squelch would make this easier but it's not a real big deal and more a result of my own playstyle that it is a problem.

The only other one I have any strong feelings about is the healing/escapes. I have been in a few situations where I have exhausted all my options and am unable to escape, and the only thing left to do is press a button until I get dead. Sometimes this takes a while and I am basically a "dead man walking". This is annoying but could be avoided with more careful play or saving more XP, I tend to spend mine as soon as possible.

I've said it before, and I'll happily say it again: You may very well have ruined Vanilla Angband for me with Sil (dear Vanilla Angband devteam, I still love you. It's not you, it's me...)

If it took some rule-breaking to get there, thank you.

Now what is this "Beleriand" I see talk of? Sounds...Very promising.

Here is the thread. I'm hoping to get it done some time this decade.

fascinating. i totally approve.

i occasionally fantasize about doing a tolkien game myself, but i think "sometime this decade" is perhaps a bit optimistic. alas. but i shall live vicariously through you for the time being.
