First, I would like to thank for some really inspiring podcasts (especially an episode about Diablo was mind-opening; when I played Diablo II I was killing one boss over and over again more than one hundered times only because of some certain piece of armour, so the term 'slot machine' is absolutely precise - addictiveness of Diablo is rooted in this constant waiting for better prizes). And second, I would like to suggest if it wouldn't be possible to make an episode about Angband variant named Sil (it was mentioned in an episode about winning also). It has some quite neat features and it differs from Angband quite a lot (no town, stairs to upper levels disappear for certain amount of time to reduce level scumming etc.). The game is even possible to win without killing any monsters, just by sneaking. I'm not an Angband enthusiast, but this game got my attention. And I'm not the only one, it's generally considered as a leading Angband variant nowadays. So it should probably deserve one episode on Rogulike radio.
