Okay, I've had time to play with it. First real impressions: it seems less tough than the old one. I find a lot of food comparatively. Starving is difficult I've run into a fun challenge: quaffed a potion of polymorph. Not used to playing as an Ogrel King, so it might be an adventure. Pretty sure the lua stuff works just fine, as I've run into a few special levels already (sokoban for instance). So, with no extra user, I would say it's good to import :)
