'''''Slash'EM (short for "Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack - Extended Magic'"), occurs as variant of the roguelike game NetHack with many additional features, monsters, & things. Many NetHack features, like a Monk class, "conduct" (voluntary challenges) & a Sokoban levels, were first developed inside ''Slash'EM then incorporated into "vanilla" NetHack (a title given to NetHack versions freed per DevTeam).

A independent dungeon in Slash'EM is much hanker than inside vanilla NetHack'', & it incorporates numerous recently favorite levels, like the Sunless Sea, in which a warranted magic lamp lies on a bottom of a vast pool, & the Guild of Disgruntled Adventurers, which is good of "player monsters" (archeologist, barbarians so forth), typically equipped by owning offensive wands.

Gehennom is shorter in ''Slash'EM than around NetHack, consisting of Xvii levels within Slash'EM & 20-2 dozen levels inside vanilla NetHack. It as well has the favorite level for each demon lord and demon prince. (Demogorgon, Yeenoghu, Dispater and Geryon do not use den around NetHack'' & just pop up whilst summoned). These factors come meant to reduce a tedium of trekking across insistent maze levels.
