Out of a whim we started a poll on the IRC channel ##crawl. Lots of players already replied and it would be nice to have input from other channels as well. 12 questions, please send replies to crawlpoll@gmail.com. Evaluation will be anonymous and statistics will be posted here.
Thank you!
Stone Soup 0.5.1 has been released, fixing an abundance of bugs. The source code and Windows binaries are already available for download, but Mac and DOS might still take a while.
Like last year, the annual Stonesoup tournament will take place between August, 1 and 31. See here for a discussion on the scoring, and this page for last year’s tournament description. We are planning to release 0.5.1 before the beginning of the tournament so you’ll be able to play with a number of bugs fixed.
In other news, the DOS version has long been available for download from the Sourceforge site. And for Mac users facing problems when installing 0.5 we’ve added some documentation to hopefully help with that.

* New species and job: Deep Dwarf, Artificer.
* Removed three species: Gnome, Grey Elf, Ogre-Mage.
