I know that Sangband is meant for skilled Angband players but I picked it up as a newbie and I haven't stopped playing it since a few months back when 1.0 first came out.
The fact the game is challenging (I've died hundreds of times and have never cheated once) but extremely fun. The only class I don't have trouble playing with is Duranden or Dark Elf.
In any case, it's funny how a tougher variant of Angband has serious appeal to newbies. What do you guys think about this? Does Sangband have more appeal to newbies than other variants? What does everyone think about Sangband being the very first Angband picked up by a newbie? I have a lot of trouble going below level 4 in Sangband (after a month or so of play) but have no problems in other variants. I love the challenge.
