Yeah. Zodiac stuff. Working on what each sign does and figuring out how to make it so you can only have one sign. ...though, knowing the contradictory nature of the Dredmorian world, it may be better to allow multiple birthsigns. You could get an achievement for getting all twelve!...if you could mod achievements, that is.
This mod idea is ridiculously cool. Can't wait! Didn't think of this before (probably because I didn't know what you were up to), but if the point is to just make it spawn once... you could make this a non-mod-loader, install-it-by-overwriting-files kind of mod. In other words, attach the zodiac-choosing room to the starting room of the dungeon.
Yeah. I was kind of hoping to avoid that for ease of installation and to avoid issues with patch updates.
Heck, I'm willing to go through the extra work for this if it turns out to be as cool as it looks. XD
