Exciting. Ready to install :)

Procedural world generation is pretty amazing. The game was pretty sucky when it came out, but it's aged well with updates. It really captures the lure of exploration. I'm deep into Assassins Creed Valhalla at the moment, even though it's literally just another AC game with a viking theme :)

I think having a Talisman tosser is a good idea. As you know (lol) that's where I got hung up; compiling hpt is not super well documented. It'd def. be a point of friction for new sysops. I think what makes packages like Mystic and Synchronet so accessible is that mailers/tossers are bundled. That said, hpt setup isn't an insurmountable barrier with the right docs (maybe even videos).

 ap> Kind of tired, and a little frustrated, I was hoping to just use HPT, but

Looking forward to v.06 and FSE!
