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

| | | 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?

| | 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. 
Cheers,

| | | 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.
