ok, so on3/30/12, another new version Random Realms is released.

random realms is a roguelike with an extensive magic system, huge
variety of weapons,
and a list of monsters that changes completely with every new
playthrough.
and for accessibility, you can choose how many dungeon levels you want
to traverse
(from 5-30) , four levels of monster difficulty (weak-legendary),
and whether perma-death is on or off (chosen when you start a new
game.)

overall.
- gave higher level monsters more 'points' to use during bestiary
creation.
- gave monsters random 'sizes' that effect their starting HP.
- added command [A] - adjust map size. if your computer slows down
with large
  amounts of the map displayed, try this. it limits the display
somewhat.

reduce
  incoming damage. still degrades over time.
- fortification slows you down.
- now see details of the king if you use [m] in the throne room.

(FISLDG) will 'stack'
- Mana Crystals must be "prepared" [P] (this is like equipping them).

- added "demons" . very powerful magical creatures that are
  guaranteed to drop an item. use caution.

- added playthroughs of 5 and 10 levels. tried to scale king
accordingly.
- added 2 new good potions.
- added random chance of a mysterious force that can block a spell
school on a level.

- added different colors to the walls occasionally. why didn't i think
of that before?
- now you can [T] throw potions. they explode violently, but be
careful, throwing a potion
  of healing will make the monster even stronger!

- got high score pages for the 5 and 10 level playthroughs.
- going to release!

further discussion, suggestion, etc. is very welcome!
