We are pleased to announce the release of Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup 0.25 “Magic Surges Out from Thin Air”!
DCSS 0.25 features an overhaul of many spells to make spell schools more distinct and positioning more relevant for spell users, a simplification of the miscast system for when those new spells go wrong, a new style of acquirement scroll, and numerous user interface improvements including new options designed to make crawl more accessible for visually impaired crawlers. For a full list of significant changes, please see the changelog for the 0.25 branch.
Download DCSS 0.25 here (updating momentarily) or here, or play it online on one of many servers across the world! Packages for Windows, OS X, and Linux are all available now. (Debs coming very soon.)
The tournament starts today, 20:00 UTC Friday 12 June with all online 0.25 games counting towards your score. See the tournament page for more details, including how to join or set-up a clan. Clan membership changes remain open until 20:00 UTC Friday 17 June.

It might be nice to add this post to the ‘tournament’ category. Last release notification was in there, and I was looking there and couldn’t find this.

it is always a good day when a new release of DCSS comes out. Mostly the changes have been really good and enhanced the enjoyment of the game and make me see things from a different light even if I don’t grok the changes 100% the first time around. I am eagerly looking forward to playing the new version, thank you very much for your efforts.
