Not funny, but promising something good. It had better be good.

It looks like an interesting set-up.

Huh? But they all could easily get a job in the park! IzchakThe shopkeeper of the lighting shop in the town level of the
gnomish mines is a tribute to Izchak Miller, a founding member
of the NetHack development team and a personal friend of a large
number of us. Izchak contributed greatly to the game, coding a
large amount of the shopkeep logic (hence the nature of the tribute)
as well as a good part of the alignment system, the prayer code and
the rewrite of "hell" in the 3.1 release. Izchak was a professor
of Philosophy, who taught at many respected institutions, including
MIT and Stanford, and who also worked, for a period of time, at
Xerox PARC. Izchak was the first "librarian" of the NetHack project,
and was a founding member of the DevTeam, joining in 1986 while he
was working at the University of Pennsylvania (hence our former
mailing list address). Until the 3.1.3 release, Izchak carefully
kept all of the code synchronized and arbitrated disputes between
members of the development teams. Izchak Miller passed away at the
age of 58, in the early morning hours of April 1, 1994 from
complications due to cancer. We then dedicated NetHack 3.2 in his
memory.

said to possess powers which mere mortals can scarcely

altar on the Astral Plane.

Why so little Es? This is a great concept.

This sounds amusing...

Even though there's no real punchline, I like how the last two rows are laid out. Fresh storylines are also exciting. A good cliffhanger, I say, or something like that. Definitely makes me want more.

There is a message for a demolished dungeon.... usually only happens when there's a fatal error (not often).... but kinda appropriate here.
