Don't want to date myself, but finding new sites and communities used to be fun.

Are there any cool sites anymore? Besides this one, of course?

There's lots of free roguelikes and other ASCII graphics games that I like to play. 🤷‍♀️

Also, fanfiction (and amateur publishing in general)

    Personally Brogue is my go to free roguelike, otherwise I play the English translation of Shiren the Wanderer through a PSP emulator on my phone.

    For sure! It's the best I've played in the series. I just beat the DS version of the original a couple months ago and decided to reward myself with the PSP version. It takes everything good about the original and cranks it up to 11. Enjoy ;)

    My favorite traditional roguelike is definitely Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - you can play it from your browser!

    Less traditional, but actually my favourite overall, would be Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - I say less traditional because it's more of a crafting game with base building elements than one where your goal is to find loot (although you can play it as a loot-finding game too - it's very flexible!). This one has to be downloaded.

    And of course Dwarf Fortress isn't a roguelike at all, but I like playing with ASCII graphics so Honorable Mention.

    They all have forums too.
