| A Heavier Coat Of Pain, posted on Sat Nov 8 13:43:40 2025 | | Posted by: Kadath | | Category: Guilds | | I have updated the coat command to allow coatings to be applied to heavy swords that are capable of the "beheading" style of inhumation. This should help to make coatings accessible to those hashishim characters who opted to specialise in this way. Unfortunately, it is very unlikely that the functionality will be extended to unarmed aids despite the unarmed skill being a primary for ninjas. This is entirely due to technical reasons and not an arbitrary restriction based on "realism" or anythin... Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Lighting The Way, posted on Fri Nov 7 05:42:22 2025 | | Posted by: Fran | | Category: Guilds | I've fixed a bug in the magical fireflies witches can summon so you can now refer to them as swarms of fireflies.
While I was there I also added some adjectives so you can easily refer to your own, as follows:
> look my swarms of fireflies
> shoo Fran's swarms of fireflies
> shoo Fran swarms of fireflies
Or you can combine the new adjectives with the existing names:
> look my swarms
> shoo every Fran's swarm
> shoo Fran swarms

| There's Always A Catch., posted on Wed Oct 29 15:10:59 2025 | | Posted by: Fran | | Category: Special | Both door and furniture latches had a bug that prevented them from working correctly. The door latches are now fixed but furniture latches have been removed temporarily for further bugfixing.
If you used a latch on a door, you can buy a new latch and install it, or ask a liaison to fix it for you.
If you used a latch on a piece of furniture, you can buy a new furniture lock and install it, or ask a liaison to fix it for you.

| My Door Is Aways Unlocked, posted on Sun Oct 26 16:10:13 2025 | | Posted by: Fran | | Category: Special | Locksmiths the Disc over have started stocking new items for those who don't feel the need to lock up their property and possessions.
You may now buy latches without locks for your player house doors and furniture.
To install them, use the syntax:
change [lock in] <door or furniture> for <latch>

| A Case Of Scope Creep, posted on Wed Oct 22 08:40:34 2025 | | Posted by: Kadath | | Category: Guilds | The case and scope commands have been reworked with a view to making them a bit more useful overall.
The case command will now let you specify a particular item you want to target and will allow you to assess your chances of acquiring it by either snatching or stealing (where "stealing" encompasses both the steal and filch commands). Information will only be given for valid commands, so you will not get a result for the "snatch" command when casing a worn item of clothing, for example.

| Sheathing And A Peek Ahead, posted on Wed Oct 22 06:15:07 2025 | | Posted by: Presto | | Category: Special | A few small things (that's what this blog is for, right?):
1. I made a small change to the sheathe command a few weeks ago so that if you don't give it a specific scabbard, it will try your worn scabbards before unworn ones.
2. I also updated the sheathe help file, because there was a feature from 2009 about using 'identify' that I suspect few people, if any, knew about. (I wasn't aware of it!)
3. At some point in the near future I'll be removing the restriction that you can only get one handfu...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Another Coat Of Pain, posted on Sat Oct 18 16:15:18 2025 | | Posted by: Kadath | | Category: Guilds | I've made a few adjustments relating to blade coatings in response to player feedback and my own monitoring and testing.
- All coatings will now last significantly longer than they previously did. The exact duration is determined by the coating's bonus (which has always been the case), but the increase across the board should be quite noticeable.
- The reduction in duration when bloat coating or [redacted] coating trigger their effect has been reduced, meaning the coating will last longer ...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Bodhisattva, posted on Tue Sep 30 12:17:07 2025 | | Posted by: Kake | | Category: General | Priests' passage rooms now have (spoiler-free) helpfiles.
A few of the messages in the sailing mission have been changed to make it clear that adjustments to the XP reward are affected by the speed at which you do the mission rather than by how you treat the engine. The only change is in the messages - everything else is as it was before. |
| Maisey Goes To Therapy, posted on Mon Sep 29 08:44:34 2025 | | Posted by: Evensong | | Category: General | It has been discovered that Maisey Bent has a rather more squeamish nature than she let on and was viewing any act of murder near her as a personal attack against her.
She has now undergone therapy and has been made to accept that this world can be rather harsh at times and she just needs to Deal With It. She has made good progress and has promised the guild to differentiate between attacks on her and attacks on those around her.
She has also agreed to drop any old grievances as she was unable t...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
