Tales of Middle Earth
T.O.M.E, formerly PernAngband, is an Angband variant based off Zangband 2.2.0, and authored by DarkGod. For more info, visit http://t-o-m-e.net/.
As it says in the game's FAQ, the main dungeon has been split into 4 separate dungeons, requiring the player to traverse the overworld map in order to reach the deeper levels. There are also many side dungeons and quests, and all of it has a strong Tolkien theme. Old Man Willow stands rooted at the bottom of The Old Forest dungeon. Glaurung's flying around in Erebor. There are masses of thieving urchins lying in wait for you at Bree--yes, they were in the book. What do you think those dirty hobbits were?
TOME has an interesting, and more importantly decent skill system. Your character is born with a set of skills determined by race and class. The set tends to be very limited. Additionally, you only get skill points when you gain a level, and there's an experience-cap to prevent endless level gain. So SP is a limited resource; there's a strategy in choosing which skills to increase, and when.
Current version is 2.1.2, released 03/03/2003.
