If I ever get it done, you can be sure I'll make it available! Isn't that the only reason people do pet projects? Fame and fortune?

Oh, wait. It's a turn-based ASCII game. Okay, so maybe there's a third, obsessive reason.

And my nerd avater is from Adom, probably the most accessible (if any can be) of the traditional fantasy Roguelikes. It's my favorite, anyway.
