rec.games.roguelike.angband looking glass

As of March 31 2008, my ISP's USENET feed provider ceased to exist (buyout by another company). Since that date, I no longer have any access to the USENET. Therefore, I am forced to discontinue r.g.r.a frontend on Angband.oook.cz website.

In 2101, war was beginning and we got signal. In
rec.games.roguelike.angband, "Jonathan Ellis" <jonathan@franz-
liszt.freeserve.co.uk> set up us this post:

None of which has mentioned so far this little factoid: drain charges
attacks right now are far, far too powerful. Make them drain one item in a
stack; preferably only one *charge*; and not heal the monster, or much less
than currently. Make high AC give these hits a VERY low chance of
connecting. Or something.
