Hi all,
Every few years I find my way back to Angband and have a glorious time with it and with variants for a while.
I know there's never been a super organized list of variants but I'm finding it extra confusing this time around. There are more variants, a lot of the recent ones are more ambitious in scope, and with a few exceptions, there seems to be less documentation (that I can find, anyway) about what has and hasn't changed compared to vanilla, what has and hasn't been borrowed from other variants, etc.
roguebasin.com at least has a less outdated list of variants and some blurbs on them, but I am still feeling pretty scattered.
Is there a good overview of the differences between major variants anywhere? (Particularly those updated in the last few years -- the changes in e.g. SAngband are a little clearer cut)
Thanks.
