I know its not "pen&paper" but it has the distinct feel of it anyways.
Sooo anyone played it? heard of it?

I've heard of it, what is it though?

Moved

I just read up on NetHack and it doesn't really fit in PnP, so I'll have to move it.

Ah... I knew it fit somewhere..
Its basically something to do thats fun while your procrastinating doing real work. It can be put on PDA, phone, comp, just about any mobile device.

Is it turn-based so I don't have to watch it all the time?

Whoa, I just read through the manual and it looks pretty complicated.

Hey hey, Nethack is coooool!

I first discovered Rogue-like games back in the '80s, at high school, when I got my first computer. Fantastic stuff. Much more in-depth than any of the Action RPGs around today.

Certainly worth installing on a work machine for those slow Friday arvos.

If you liked nethack, then you should try ADOM (Advanced Domain Of Mystery, IIRC). Much like nethack, but with ASCII -graphics. But it has deeper story.

I have also played Nethack, and IMO it was okay. The only thing I hated on it was that it was too hard at the beginning, especially if compared to ADOM. But it's still worth of trying.

I've played all the rogue-likes. Including ADOM. My favourite is Zangband, although I am waiting for the new version (which is extremely late).

Check out: http://www.thangorodrim.net/ or http://www.roguelikedevelopment.org/ for more information.
