history

bcrawl is a fork of DCSS. It started in 2018 as a continuation of the X-Crawl fork.

---

notable differences from DCSS

bcrawl has:

• different monsters, player species, and backgrounds
• different spells and more magic schools
• many reworked deities
• an extra branch (the Spriggan Forest)
• no attacks of opportunity when monsters chase the player
• food, and no Zot clock
• a mode (Adventure Mode) where the player has 3 lives

bcrawl has no trap effects on exploration. Instead, taking stairs can sometimes teleport the player. (There’s a special message when this could have happened.)

Here’s a changelog.
