    I should have opened your link before replying; there's a lot of
    information there to study. (But if you have some highlights to
    emphasize I'd still be interested in a view from your personal
    perspective.)

    Ah, shame, but hey, if you're not enjoying it...

    Exploration of a new variant is fine. And curiosity is what kept me
    playing. But, frankly, there's only a few (new) things I like, but
    a lot that I very much dislike. So it will stay an episode for me.

    I have played a lot
    of evilhack, but currently I'm mainly playing a new variant called
    Hack'EM which is an interesting mix of Slash'EM, Evilhack and
    Splicehack (https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Hack%27EM)

    I don't know Splicehack. And I have to see how much EvilHack is in
    it. ;-) But I will certainly give it a try. - Thanks for the tip!

    On the Hardfought servers I see that it has a rather low version
    number, and there are variants that existed longer - assuming the
    version number is meaningful -, and that are [maybe] more mature.
    Are there any experiences with those variants, Gnoll, xNH, UnNH[*]?

    [*] I played UnNethack in an early release and I had to abandon a
    game where I reached the Sanctum, but couldn't finish it after the
    release change, IIRC. But I don't know its evolution/current state.

    Interesting! - I skimmed over the first chapters; some bad (not
    well designed) things in EvilHack and Slashem have been omitted
    for Hack'EM (but, IMO, not everything that would have been worth
    a reconsideration). - But certainly worth a closer look and a try.
