Z-Angband 0.6 Machete Edition

Born from the depths of Angband's pits. The latest member of the ZAngband Family Tree, this is Z-Angband 0.6 Machete Edition. 

This is a traditional roguelike. Needs no introduction. So what's the difference, you might wonder? The extensively reforged database, going mostly behind the curtains, is done to bring the environment of this fork under a D&D classical, first Red Box, ruleset. 

As a long-time, avid traditional roguelikes player, I have always wanted a ruleset not based on 3.5e or 5e, but based on the first edition of D&D. For example, HP rolls for monsters done with 8 sided dice, and stats applying those monsters, linked to their 'level', which is something the old ttrpg players will remember. 

Therefore, things like experience points awarded when killing creatures, their AC, and their appearance and morale, now is recalculated based on their 'level', which corresponds on how many d8 their HP is.

As a simple example, a Goblin is a 1d8 creature. It is first level. Awards first level creature XP and has treasure on the same criteria.  Easy, right? Therefore the WHOLE bestiary in this Fork follows the same standardized d8 rule.

With a freshly revamped visual work focused alone on inmersing the player in the game. No more plain white walls. Featuring coloured walls, scattered objects around, and many little flavouring details and wink-wink moments in the descriptions. 

*IMPORTANT * Current version: 0.6c ME *

This project is in stable state. There might be, nonetheless,  some bugs that are being located and terminated. I'm still working on it. Gameplay is unaffected. They will be solved eventually.  

This project is in constant progress. On a regular basis, I will be uploading new releases with more added monsters, objects, artifacts, vaults, features... et cetera.
