Hi Hayden, No, you weren't suppose to. Although, once and a while some items would get reset in rooms you visited. Not cool, or maybe it is cool. Depending on your perspective. Either way it was an annoying bug that is going to be no more. On 1/29/11, Hayden Presley wrote: > Hi, > Wait...wait...

Hi Charles, Yes. One of my complaints with the random generation of things is that it was too easy to cheat. You could save a game enter a room, find a centaur or something in there, load your saved game, and get a different monster to fight. You could do this any number of times to litterally che
