I like roguelikes and I'm sure some other imps do, so let's play them. What I was thinking was we'd pick a game and then give everyone a week to learn it and see who can put up the highest score. I'd like to do some older/obscure games that people haven't played before to keep the playing field even and get us all trying new stuff but that doesn't mean we can't do the classics as well. Only criteria is it needs to be an actual straight up roguelike, not a "[BLANK] with roguelike elements". Also there's a million free roguelikes so I'm not planning to pick any commercial games. (but I may reward winners with steam codes to lovely indie games!) Let me know if this sounds like fun or if you have suggestions for challenge format or games to play. Also let me know if you have really strong preferences regarding ASCII vs. tiles and that can guide game selection. Discuss below and let's have fun!

To clarify I'm talking tile based RPG stuff, without making any judgments on whether or not randomized twinstick shooters count as roguelikes or not. doomRL is great cause if you played doom you know what all the weapons and enemies do right off the bat, so it would be good if we have roguelike noobs who want to get on board

IVAN owns but it (or at least the version I played years ago) has an awful system where monster generation scales with your character strength, including equipment, so it basically punishes you for finding loot.

Sounds like there's some votes for DCSS, so I'll probably kick it off with that come Monday. I'm not too familiar with it personally so i'm looking forward to it. Any thoughts on reporting scores? Save it all until the end, or post em as you go to so you can try to one up your fellow gamer?
