 '''SlashTHEM''' is a ''[[NetHack]]'' variant, specifically one of [[SLASH'EM]], that is currently maintained and developed by [[user:Soviet5lo|Soviet5lo]]. The GitHub page can be viewed [https://github.com/Soviet5lo/SlashTHEM/blob/develop here] - a changelog of differences between versions can be found [https://github.com/Soviet5lo/SlashTHEM/blob/develop/CHANGELOG-NG.md here], while an older changelog of differences from before version numbers were used is linked [https://github.com/Soviet5lo/SlashTHEM/blob/master/CHANGELOG-Old.md here].
-Originally, SlashTHEM was a variant of [[Slash'EM Extended]] version 75 called "Slash'EM Extended Mod"; its name was then changed to SlashTHEM (short for "Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack&mdash;The Heavily Extended Mod"). Since diverging further from Slash'EM Extended, SlashTHEM's primary goal is to balance the game back to SLASH'EM levels while remaining significantly more challenging - this included reverting several of the changes made in Slash'EM Extended or removing them out right as of early 2020, though some of its influence from early versions remains present. Another primary goal is to ensure that all of the roles and races present in the game each feel unique.

-*A large amount of new [[artifacts]] have been introduced.  Some quest artifacts for roles added in Slash'EM Extended have been changed to become more useful, and every role is guaranteed one sacrifice gift.  Some artifacts also no longer count against sacrifice gifts, such as the alignment keys and alignment level artifacts, the special level artifacts from Nethack: The Next Generation, [[Thiefbane]] and Warforger.
+==Major changes==
-*New [[SlashTHEM items|objects]] have been added from other variants and patches.  Examples of this are the gnomish armor set from Sporkhack, the Sharpened Pencil and Expensive Suit from [[NetHack--]], and the Rubber Gloves and Gauntlets of Reflection from patches by Mikael Lind.
+Below is a list of the more significant changes in SlashTHEM compared to SLASH'EM and vanilla NetHack, as well as features from other variants that were adopted both directly and through older versions of Slash'EM Extended.
-*The Forge has been fully re-implemented from Nethack--.  Players now have the option of paying large amounts of gold to get an artifact created, depending on how much has been paid.  The blacksmith has also been raised in level to compensate, and now starts with equipment similar to One-eyed Sam.
-*[[Slings]] now gain a [[strength]] bonus.  This makes slings very powerful ranged weapons for high strength characters.
+===General changes===
-*The added races and roles have been given features to make them more unique.  Gastly players no longer suffer [[cannibalism]] penalty, nor do they suffer from [[rotten food]] effects.  Locksmiths gain a high bonus when using unlocking tools.  The Lunatic role has been completely overhauled to function like the Lycanthrope role from [[SLASH 6]].
+* A large amount of new [[artifacts]] have been introduced: every role is guaranteed one [[sacrifice gift]], which heavily reduces the reliability of camping at an altar for a specific artifact. Some quest artifacts for roles added in Slash'EM Extended have been buffed changed to become more useful.
