The Tavern

i don't know what this means but i'm pretty sure twelwe will have some shit to say

It'll be the game's first foray into item crafting I suspect. For example, your dough has "sockets", into which you place a +3 bellpepper, a distressingly furry pepperoni, and a glowing AND embroidered pinapple slice. Fire it up in the Spriggan baker's oven for 750 units of nutrition, guaranteed lactose intolerance and several malmutations from the pepperoni fur.

Btw why don't crawl have craft? Or item sockets?
Crawl feels like turn-based Diablo 2 now where branded stuff = d2 magicals, randarts = d2 rares and unrands = d2 uniques. We should introduce craft, synergies and (!!!) Runewords!

Except usually good branded stuff is better than most artefacts.

Because in crawl most effects are boring. Just imagine "5% chance to cast irradiate when struck"!

that sounds boring as hell

"+1 to LOS radius"

1% chance when struck to revert latest commit in Trunk and recompile your game. If you end up in 0.9, automatically turn into a mountain dwarf.

Also add crushing blow to the game.
