1.10 - It's been a while!

Hey there!

Can you believe it's been more than a year since the last update for this mod came out? A lot has changed since then, including the addition of a full DLC campaign for Dicey Dungeons called Reunion. An item from this mod actually makes a guest appearance in one of the Reunion episodes, so go check it out if you somehow haven't yet!

Now let's talk about the update. This one has been developed off and on for the past year. The biggest addition this time is the inclusion of a whole ton of items made for compatibility with other mods. If you play The Grab Bag with ncrmod or Yet More Episodes installed, there are now a ton of new versions of this mod's items that can be found when you encounter certain remix rules. Some of them have even been added to the generators for regular Grab Bag runs! Big thanks to the creators of these mods for contributing many of these!

Aside from that, this update is mostly a bunch of under-the-hood changes to make this mod's scripts easier to work with. I originally planned to include modded equipment for the Bear character as well, but that proved to be a bit too janky and tough to do. Maybe some day?

All said and done, this will probably end up being the last major content update I make for The Grab Bag. It's been more than three years since I started working on this mod, and I've honestly grown past this game in that time. I feel like I no longer have the passion or big ideas to take this mod any further. Any further updates from me will probably just be bug fixes.

Regardless, thanks for the support over the years, and have fun playing!
