The Variant Archive was assembled by LemmingofGlory, webmaster of The Sylvan Cliffs Diablo variant website, for the purpose of making variants more readily available to the masses. No one website hosts all variants that sprang up as a result of Diablo, and Lemming hopes that this assembly will help gamers who are interested in variants to more easily find the variant that they're looking for - or to find a new variant to try!Endless thanks to the authors of the variants within, whose actions helped to make Diablo more fun than even they know. (Unless they are SNOBs, in which case they might know. ;) And a special thanks to Blizzard, for making such great games. Some of us forgive you for D2.
Missing Variants
While I tried to get as many variants as I could, there were some I just couldn't find.
- The Elemental Wizard - I believe that's the name, by someone named Killian.
That's the only one that I can think of, but I may be forgetting some! If you have copies of these variants stashed away somewhere on your hard drive, please let me know!
Also, some variants were never completed! Will you authors get to it? :P (You know who you are. ;)

The images in the "Graphics" folder of the Archive were made by Blizzard or cobbled together by images made by Blizzard. Of the images in the "vargfx" folder (in the D1 section) of the Archive, the "Wedding.jpg" was made by Meshuggah for his Wedding Quest and the "WirtsDemise.jpg" was made by an unknown artist.
