Make them all play druids. Problem solved. ;) :p

Energizer batteries, for the most part.

That's why you have to play it in Soviet Russia, so it cancels out.

Nethack is mostly single player. There's no DM involved, except for an extremely talented dev team. (which puts up a new version every now and then, taking into account player input. Of course, the game is open source, so anyone can mod it if they like. ) All the contingencies and special...
