sil-q VS frogcomposband

Soulcalibur vi. You should check out sil-q. The dev took inspiration for Tolkien and best part is that its free! https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q

The other current one is Sil-Q, which is a further variant of an existing variant called Sil. I don't like it (either version) so I can't comment much, but it seems popular.

Check out Sil-Q, based on Angband and set in LoTR's deep past but completely redone so that spells and skills act together to make vastly less use of throwing fire around and vastly more of hiding, sealing doorways, increasing healing speed, seeing farther and through walls, putting monsters to sleep, and so on. It's surprisingly successful at feeling like Tolkien's accounts of the great accomplishments of Middle-Earth. https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q/

It does have a tileset as of Sil-Q 1.5, which you can download here. I drew it myself! I’d recommend changing the font to 16x25.fon in the topbar, then turning on the tiles after starting your first game. Have fun!

I believe Sil started as a fork of Angband, and it's a favourite of mine. You might want to check that out. (I believe currently the most up-to-date version is Sil-Q https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q).

You want more? :D - The Temple of Torment Medieval fantasy world with demons, quest based gameplay, you can play with the mouse. - Under the Mad Mountain - TraumaRL - From here Numeron Reactor download Hellspace (2014), Rogue City Scavenger (2013) and Nightfall (2012) - Roguelegends: Dark Realms dark fantasy, cosmic horror - Sil-Q Tactical combat - Angband

Sil - A roguelike based on LOTR with a strong emphasis on discovery and tactical combat. I personally recommend Sil-Q over the original version as it comes with a bunch of bug fixes, balancing changes and improvements to the game.

Sil-Q, https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q, is an actively updated version of [Sil](https://nickmcconnell.github.io/AngbandPlus/sil.html), which itself is based on NPPAngband.

Frogcomposband has a huge amount of races and classes to play as. 80 various races and monsters by my count. And many classes for the more normal races that I couldn't be bothered to count. Some 51 classes, unless special races also have special classes. Sometimes with extras like picking a certain god, spell school or bias towards good/evil etc. Anything normal you might want such as a human fighter, elf mage, hobbit rogue. To pure monsters or animals of various flavours. Hydras, spiders, dragons, jellies. To very weird ones. Such as a magical ring, possessing others who find it. But can't do much more than cast spells on its own.

There aren't a lot of recent variants. FrogComposband is one of the newest ones and it's reasonably popular. It pretty much just throws loads and loads of extra stuff in. It's a lot.

Relatedly, PosCheng's spiritual successor FrogComposband (you'll need to select the Monster -> Mimic race options).

And Frogcomposband is still very much being maintained. It's just that there's one guy working on it, and so things take time. If you look at github: https://github.com/sulkasormi/frogcomposband/tree/46db75f898189beeb49d64d735cc3a39e9a843e8 then you can see that commits were last pushed about 4 months ago, which really isn't a long time when it's a lone developer.
