So it's online, finally. My very own Angband/Zangband variant. Named, egotistically enough, "Myband" (and also because I can't think of a more interesting prefix for it).

Myband is based on the source for Zangband 2.6.0 (with bugfixes from Zang 2.7.0), and incorporates lots of cool stuff from other variants, plus a few things from my own fevered brain. Two-handed weapons, two-weaponed hands, an insanely unbalanced alchemy system, and, as they say, more.

I've recently started playing CthAngband. Because of its skill-based experience system and multitude of magical disciplines, it's a lot more addictive than either Angband or Zangband (or, sadly, Myband). But I don't expect skills to suddenly appear in Myband; they're too much of a departure from the Zangband base.

This page will be updated when I feel like it, and not before. The date at the bottom of this page may not apply to the zipfiles on this site. Look at "changes.txt" for the real date.

Enjoy.

Look at:
