Dungeon Crawl has fountains also.  they're harmless as fars i know. 

heres something i once did in ADOM to my immense chagrin.  rather high level character returning to one of the starter dungeons, couldnt say why.  i stepped on an evil shrine with some pansy level-one orc in my LoS:  "the orc raises his arms and invokes [evil god]! you are consumed by flames!"  didnt know they could do that.  orc mustv gotten one serious piety boost.

I did that also, lost a pretty good char!!!!!
But they managed to sacrifice me just once, now I dodge every altar i see, even if its marble white... you never know

it is a sad day indeed to know it will never be given new life.

 If ADOM went open source then I would imagine a lot of interest would be generated in the RL world.

For that to happen the source code is not needed, one could easily get all the 'adom world' and make a new adventure, maybe somewhere in ancardia, using all the elements TB introduced and some new, but keeping the same world, the same signs ( maybe something new yeah, but keeping all the adom essence ). This could be coded from the ground up, no old source needed. Only adom's manual and some tips from TB, if he approves it of course.

=)

That's just what I think... if the source code would be released maybe we'd get some nasty ADOM distortions, made by sick people =\
(include in that war tanks, modern weapons, pornography, foul language and all that)
Such a thing shouldn't happen to the game.. at least is what I think

ADOM is TB's work and TB only.

Thats his work, if he wants it that way everyone should respect.
The man already made a heck of a roguelike, which is among the best.

Even as a programmer I wouldn't want to look the code. . . that would take away all the magic that the game has, and even if someone continued TB's work wouldn't be the same, ADOM has a high roguelike level and would be difficult to continue that way being a opensource project.

Opensource isn't the answer to everything!

I really think he DOESN'T work on adom anymore.

I am in the group and TB seems to be working on Jade... i would really like to see some new features in adom, but what can i do? no source code =(
