If you haven't heard about the mod, read this stuff for some background information.
Anyways, I'm closing work on the 0.3a patch, which I will be releasing as a closed beta. I have just over a dozen people willing to test already, but the more I can get, the better. All I ask is you peruse my forum at Charsi's Forge, and if you like what you see, sign up for an account and drop me a PM. I will be sending the link via PM's on Charsi's Forge on Friday or Saturday, whenever it gets finished.
Featured in the 0.3a patch are fully-functional versions of the Amazon, Sorceress, and Necromancer. Class skills are all completely new (30 each), class identity is largely the same. Roles are expanded somewhat (Amazons can be casters, Necromancers can be tanks, Sorceresses can hide behind minions).
And that's not mentioning the hundreds of new magical affixes, the 150 (current) unique items, and the dozens of other minor tweaks to the game.
Thanks for your time, everyone. I hope DR doesn't disappoint.

[EDIT]
Okay, so I haven't done much. School has taken control of my life, and my motivation to mod has been stolen by my need to pass my exams. However, this is my last week of classes, and as such, I'll be starting up modding again in less than a week. If you're interested, I've changed around a lot of the old ideas for 0.3, so I suggest you check out the forum link I posted earlier in the thread. The Beta will now be an open one, and you are free to download and play to your heart's content without giving feedback (although it's naturally appreciated).
I'll be posting some screens soon. Somebody please post something; I hate not having something to reply to! Editing my posts makes me feel really unpopular.

Don't get down on yourself. Ask yourself why you mod - is it to please others or yourself?
I've always taken the attitude of modding to please myself first - that way, I have at least one satisfied customer.
