When I open Angband 4.1.3 it closes immediately (you can't even tell it opened except the application bar at the top of the screen displays very briefly). Strange. And Angband 4.2.4 constantly asks for permission to write my HD (everytime I enter a level for example). Is Ventura handling Angband differently than it used to? This is a relatively new mac I am using.

For 4.1.3, you could try starting it from a Terminal. What's below assumes 4.1.3 is /Applications/Angband.app ; replace that with what it is on your system.
- Open a Terminal: Go->Utilities->Terminal in the Finder.
- In the Terminal, change directories to where the executable is located by entering "cd /Applications/Angband.app/Contents/MacOS".
- Then run Angband by entering "./angband".
That will likely still fail, but diagnostics about the failure should get printed to the terminal.
As for the warnings about accessing the disk, that's been reported as an issue, https://github.com/angband/angband/issues/5194 . I only see the prompt rarely (this is on macOS 12, usually once after recompiling or reinstalling a new version). There's a workaround mentioned in that issue using tccutil, but that doesn't seem to work for many. Compiling from source is another way to avoid it.
