I'm sure most of you are aware of "official" speedrunning efforts of streamers and members of speedrun.com D2LOD category. Well, this is not a an attempt to duplicate that project. However, it has occured to me multiple times, that this is a segment obviously missing from these forums. I have never really figured out why, maybe the timing was never right, maybe the policy of refering to other Diablo places on the internet was too strict on the old forums, for whatever reason, this idea never took hold.
This is my attempt to scout the SPF landscape again, and maybe raise an interest in a lightweight, almost casual at first, speedrunning challenge of a game I love, on the forums one never truly leaves
The proposal is as follows - create an ongoing speedrunning league within the SPF ruleset. There is an excellent starting point for this project trailblazed by @Nano - Matriarch subtwo_vii - The Sub Two Hour Sorceress . I fully expect this community to beat this time.
Personally I would start with something simple, such as "any% SP(T)F allowed mods and practices RTA /px Hell":
So ... would you be interested? My fingers are itching but there is really no fun in doing this alone

Personally I would start with something simple, such as "any% SP(T)F allowed mods and practices RTA /px Hell":
- real time attack (no fancy splitting software needed)
- time starts on character creation screen with clicking "OK"
- time ends with death of Hell Baal
- any forum accepted mod allowed (singling, RWM ...)
- any forum accepted practice allowed (preequipping in GoMule, multiplaying with yourself, hotmuling ....)
- any version, forwarding chars mid run allowed, classic allowed
- drunken HC runs allowed
- red tinted equipment to go fasta
- ...
