If we do I'm not aware of it.

Officially, it's a RL dev thread... but there's 66 pages of it.

Is Dasleah still around though? I'd much prefer that OP content than the rather tiny one here.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Last Active:  January 18, 2011, 05:04:25 am  .....  That's a no.

That thread is dev focused, and it should probably stay that way.  Roguelikes worthy of normal discussion usually get their own thread, like any other game.  *shrugs*

One of my favourites roguelikes is POWDER.
It was one of my first roguelikes and the one that introduced me to the roguelike world (and Dwarf Fortress).
Is quite simple, but I really like it.

She was also sad that her father's corpse was rotting in his bedroom, but that's a minor inconvenience.
I love this game so much.

I too have POWDER on my phone,and I greatly enjoy it despite it being so simple.

I'm not at my computer, where I have a folder of RLs, but I'll list a few notable/favorite ones:

Caves of Qud: Post-Apocalyptic, and all that entails. Food can be a bitch to get your hands on late game.

ASCII sector: Not strictly a RL, as it doesn't have permanent death. Fly a space ship, shoot stuff, land on planets, buy stuff, sell stuff, and then shoot more stuff.

Goblin camp: Manage a camp of goblins. Looks like DF, but less responsive to player input, IMO.
Wait, that's not a RL. Oops.
