Each year on April Fools' Day, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup's dev team releases a mock update. Although primarily meant as a gag, these DCSS versions are still playable, and many players treat these joke updates as an opportunity for a unique challenge.
2014
On April 1, 2014, a Nostalgia update was applied to DCSS, restoring a wide variety of "classic" Crawl features, such as Zot traps appearing on any floor and hydras having speed 15, as well as the restoration of all obsolete species and backgrounds. In game text was also given more exclamation marks, and your god would make commentary on your performance.
2013
On April 1, 2013, the jester background was (briefly) added to the game. Although only playable for a short time, several players managed to win with it before its removal.
