This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Who's into rogue-likes?

Man, I been playing the nethack for nigh on 18 years and the best I ever done was level 50 or so... 18 years ago. These days I think level 5 is an accomplishment. Starvation and poison do me in as often as the occasional wild horse of doom(how many attacks can those fuckers DO? Sweet jeebus!).

Of course, on my trip to the depths it was the troll that wouldn't die, following me level after level after level.... fucker. I dropped him a dozen times, he would pop back up and chase me down faster than you could blink...
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

No one seems to have mentioned Linley's Dungeon Crawl, which is kind of like Slash'em but without all the bloat.

There's also IVAN, a light-hearted but damn near impossible to win Roguelike.
Obvious troll is obvious. RIP, Bill.

Nethack rocks. Coincidentally been playing it for the last week or so, while literally the city was burning around me. (Live next to those forest fires in San Diego).
The easiest class by far is valkyrie... especially when you get the hammer of mjollnir and gauntlets of strength. Based on those two items alone I've made it to Gehenna at least a dozen times as one...ascended first as a valkyrie too. The other classes are a bit harder.
Slash'Em is supposed to be like nethack "next"...but I haven't tried it out yet.

If anyone out there is still into Dwarf Fortress, the new version was released last night.  Quite an update; the game now features a Z-level so you can do 3d forts.  Lots of new stuff here that makes it a very different experience.

Very taxing on the computer, though.
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

I love roguelikes and darn it, I plan to write one... one of these days. :)

ADOM, Omega and NetHack are my favorites, but I really want to get some time to try Dwarf Fortress and GearHead.

Are there any "must plays" out there?

I'm not sure this is a rogue-like than an ASCII game...but damn it looks impressive.  A Privateer-like called ASCII Sector:
