I know that features have been frozen, but a suggestion for the next version - battery operated fan. We have a CBM that does something similar, but just having a battery operated device that lowers your character's temperature would be very useful during the dog days of summer.

Edit: Doubly so since my character is basically running around naked and still suffering from "Very Hot!" and the associated pain.

Is it going to be made so that you could, say, fill a backpack with bricks and have it do extra damage?

For throwing yes, for normal bashing damage, I'm not sure. We might be able to have some sort of a +X bashing damage per weight thing, that seems like it would be fairly simple to add (not counting all of the work to make containers work that way or course ).

I considered making pulling the weapon free or leaving it an option, but rejected it for the reason already given.  Tons and tons of prompts would be even worse than a straight penalty.  Although... a "stab and leave in" attack might be reasonable, especially since stuck in weapons slow monsters.  Stabbing and leaving in weapons might be a viable strategy with light weapons.

Idea for weapons getting stuck. Do it like all the other "Do you want to stop" warnings, except, "do you want to pull at your stuck weapon". Yes, make one retrievial attempt, no, leave it, or pull until free.

New idea for an improvised weapon. Knife grenades. Requires a hacksaw, components would be a grenade, a combat knife or perhaps a spike, and superglue. Recipe found in Knife Fighters notes, not sure on skill req. Works in two parts. Can either activate, which would turn it into a normal grenade, excepting that it has combat knife throw damage. Or, use it as a melee weapon, if it gets stuck and you don't pull it out, letting go of it in the body would pull the pin, giving you 5 turns to run.

Make it an option? Alternatively, the first attempt to pull is free, move cost wise, so if you would just be able to pull it out, you do.

The only issue with this is that, as I said, my weapon is getting stuck every single time. That's not much of an exaggeration. With a warning, all it would mean is that blades go from useable-but-risky to completely unuseable because you have to hit 'Y' every other swing.
