In an effort to get people to play TomeNet, a real time Multiplayer hack of Tome2 (current version is 4), I will offer to buy Caves of Qud for the first two Imps that complete a TomeNet dungeon with me during hell month.

I'll post more details later whwlen I'm not drinking

SPECIAL EVENT FOR MARCH



Roguelike Hell Month - Deadline 3/31/24 11:59EST

Though Beneath Apple Manor predates it, the 1980 game Rogue, which is an ASCII based game that runs in terminal or terminal emulator, is considered the forerunner and the namesake of the genre, with derivative games mirroring Rogue's character- or sprite-based graphics. These games were popularized among college students and computer programmers of the 1980s and 1990s, leading to hundreds of variants. Some of the better-known variants include Hack, NetHack, Ancient Domains of Mystery, Moria, Angband, Tales of Maj'Eyal, and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

We're all going to play a bunch of roguelikes through the month of March. Welcome to hell :twisted:

There are trophies for 6 major roguelikes, and you can choose any roguelike of your own for a couple of extras.



Roguelikes are dungeon crawls through procedurally generated levels with turn-based gameplay, grid movement, and permadeath. Roguelites are not roguelikes. remember that

e: where to get the games courtesy of Fungah

editor's side note: googling "roguelike" in 2024 is ~very depressing~

Link to the game manual:
lol. lmao

:siren:*IMPORTANT: POST YOUR NETHACK YASDs*:siren:



we've prepared a bunch of unique secret trophies for the first imp who earns specific YASDs in NetHack, so post every dumb way you die!

-----------

Trophies:





NetHack is an open source single-player roguelike video game, first released in 1987 and maintained by the NetHack DevTeam. The game is a fork of the 1982 game Hack, itself inspired by the 1980 game Rogue. The player takes the role of one of several pre-defined character classes to descend through multiple dungeon floors, fighting monsters and collecting treasure, to recover the Amulet of Yendor at the lowest floor and then escape.

: Reach Minetown
: Complete Sokoban
: Reach the Castle
: Complete your Quest
: Reach the Valley of the Dead
: Ascend

: Ascend for your first time ever (PLATINUM)
: Ascend with one or more conducts (PLATINUM)

: Ascend for your first time ever using only posts in Imp Zone and your own notes (EXTREME PSYCHO PLATINUM)

* plus some secret bonus trophies for YASDs






Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM) is a roguelike video game designed and developed by Thomas Biskup and released in 1994. The player's goal is to stop the forces of Chaos that invade the world of Ancardia.

: Rescue a puppy
: Clear either the village dungeon or the druid dungeon
: Enter the Caverns of Chaos
: Retrieve the Orb of Elemental Fire
: Reach the Casino
: Beat the game

: Beat the game for your first time ever (PLATINUM)
: Get any variant ending (PLATINUM)

: Beat the game for your first time ever using only posts in Imp Zone and your own notes (EXTREME PSYCHO PLATINUM)







DoomRL is a roguelike video game developed by ChaosForge based on the first-person shooters Doom and Doom II. It has been in development since 2002, and was released for Microsoft Windows, Linux and OS X. Following a cease and desist notice from "Doom" trademark owner ZeniMax Media, the game's name was changed to "DRL" in 2016. Lame.

: Beat the Game
: Defeat John Carmack
: Beat the game with an Angel Challenge
: Reach the Rank of 2nd Lieutenant

: Beat Archangel of 666 (EXTREME PSYCHO PLATINUM)







Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (DCSS/Crawl) is a free and open source roguelike computer game and the community-developed successor to the 1997 roguelike game Linley's Dungeon Crawl, originally programmed by Linley Henzell.

: Slay Sigmund
: Enter the Lair of the Beasts
: Get three runes
: Worship Jiyva
: Cast a level 9 spell
: Ascend

: Ascend for your first time ever (PLATINUM)
: Ascend with all 15 runes (PLATINUM)
: Ascend as a Felid, Octopode, or Mummy (PLATINUM)

: Ascend with 15 runes as a Felid, Octopode, or Mummy (EXTREME PSYCHO PLATINUM)







Tales of Maj'Eyal (ToME) is a dungeon crawl featuring a customizable graphical interface that integrates classic roguelike keyboard commands with a mouse-driven interface. In a departure from many older roguelike games, Tales of Maj'Eyal has full-color graphics, can be played almost exclusively with the mouse, and despite permadeath the player can earn extra lives through various ways and by leveling up.

: Unlock three classes or races
: Get a fortress
: Eat the sandworm queen's heart on Adventure or Permadeath mode
: Beat the Master on Adventure or Permadeath mode
: Beat the game on Adventure or Permadeath mode

: Beat the game on permadeath mode (PLATINUM)
: Beat the game on a difficulty higher than Normal (PLATINUM)
: Slay Atamathon (PLATINUM)
: Slay Linaniil (PLATINUM)







Caves of Qud is a roguelike actively developed by Freehold Games, set in an open world that is partially pre-made and partially randomly generated. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic science fantasy setting and is partially inspired by the pen-and-paper role-playing game Gamma World.

: Finish Mehmet’s first quest
: Enter Grit Gate
: Find Klanq
: Build a Golem
: Kill a Legendary Creature







Choose and play any roguelike you want, on any system.

: Die 25 Times
: Beat it

Should be a plat for killing a chrome pyramid in Qud imo, even with a really good golem that could decimate everything else the best I could do was lock one in a stalemate

Somewhere between the first person perspective, the opening without motivation or connective tissue, and the flying baby in a diaper, I found this way more unpleasant than the McDonald's game.
