I <3 the crap out of brogue; I'm currently playing through some roguelikes that I've never looked at before [0], and I keep coming back to brogue.

In particular, brogue's food clock is excellent in that if I forget about it too long and go back to my natural "explore everywhere, kill everything" tendency, the food clock _will_ kill me.

[0] something that jumped out at me is just how much modern roguelike development is windows-first (or even windows-only), and how much of it is distributed primarily as runnable binaries vs source. I had to bend way over backwards to get PrincessRL running: I ended up installing a 32-bit ubuntu userspace virtualbox instance so that mono could run the prepackaged binary.
