Yes, it's old news by now, but I was out all weekend. :-) Varaya and Khan have definitely been busy! The new versions of Hellfire and Diablo contain some good changes, and the new Diablo mod is very, very different! Make sure you read up on the new changes before you play it, the mod has some radical changes in equipment usage for character classes. Go to the V&K homepage to grab it.

Becoming a standard event, the Blizzard forums are down again, having "crashed" on Saturday night. No posts made will be displayed until Monday, so refrain from posting "Is this working?" or "test" posts, to try to keep the forums from being spammed beyond belief.
Diablo Bugs

Although I have a policy of not "hyping up" my own posts, I can break it here because it's not "mine." It's a list of gameplay bugs in Diablo that the DSF regs put together many months ago when version 1.07 was in development. While I did assemble the list, I didn't "write" it. Nice loophole, eh? Anyway, if you've ever wondered how many bugs there are in the game and specifically what they are, check this out. I guarantee that if you've never seen this buglist before you'll learn a few things about the game. And if you know of a bug that isn't on the list, post it!

has a revealing post about one of Diablo's more buggy spells, Flash. It turns out that the damage techniques discussed by
in his famous Teleflash strategy apply to monsters who cast Flash (the mage types). Be sure to check it out for a good strategy tip in the conclusion. An interesting twist to this is that warriors who like to Telekill will always wind up in a bad spot...

If you've been following the DSF lately, you're quite aware of the latest renewal of the ancient PK debate. An old time legit PK, Wagon Dragon, has gotten into it as well. Although he's a little misinformed of some of the events of the DSF lately, he's still stirring up the pot rather well.

The Editorials section is born, and I've made a post on the DSF asking for submissions. Get up on that soapbox! As for Diablo news, well, there hasn't been much lately, sorry. There's nothing much going on. :-)
classic Teleflash strategy is now up in the Strategy Section. Thanks, Dr. D!

New V&K Hellfire!

That's right, Varaya and Khan have released their new 7/22 mod for Hellfire. They also promise a new mod version for Diablo very soon. What will be new in the next version?
We will put in a "base item disabling feature", i.e. some base items cannot be used by some classes.
...go to all of you who have sent in suggestions for the site. As some of you noticed, the more, um, "snazzy" background color was replaced with this more subdued one. Yes, it was driving me up the wall, too. As for other news, well, it's a weekend, and not much happens then. If you have something to report, please send it in to me. If you run a site and it was updated, let me know. If you see something neat going on in the scene, let me know. I can't be everywhere at once, although I try pretty hard. Thanks again!
