I wonder if the comp 216 winners will break 10K turns this time around.
I tried this, but I just find it unplayable with "run" currently broken. I'll wait until Nick has time to fix that. -

As Nick's said use an older version to avoid the run bug. I'm pretty sure all recent game play changes were necromancy or shield bash e.g. nothing that effects the druid.Comment

Gwarl, since you have specified the character, the lack of a savefile looks like a bug on the competition page. As Ingwe mentioned in #216:
"Maybe make a notation on the Competition description that there is no starting save file even though the page has a download starting save file link."Comment

Okay I changed the version on .live to what I deduce was the last build before the running bug was introduced. (Notably, it seems to not have been Nick's fault).Comment

4.1.3-212-g09fdd8c25 is the pre-bug version, which is the one I linked in post 3 of this thread.
The running bug is confusing because- it's a coding error found by someone else
- it's clearly an error
- but fixing the error creates the running bug.
Further complicated by the fact that I'm spending all my (regrettably little) Angband time on feature/monster.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Hmmmmm.
There must be a better way.
You queue up HT Warrior and enjoy your life.
I get that foxform needs a penalty of some kind, given how powerful it is, but I wonder if not being able to pick things up is the best one? I probably can get on board with not being able to use spell books or magical devices or shoot missiles, but not being able to pick up objects or quaff I think is too much (and not much logical). What about an even bigger dex bonus and a constitution penalty?Beginner's Guide to Angband 4.2.3 Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9c9e2wMngM
