Hey do any #roguelikes exist that actually use real pen and paper #rpg mechanics? Is that a thing?
I've mainly played a little bit of Nethack and TOME decades ago. Maybe spent a day or two with Powder.
Obviously their is some cultural cross pollination between the two mediums but do any use actual pen and paper game rules?
@satchmoz While a few like Nethack use very D&D'ish rules I'm not sure you want to because the GMs in each system are so different. In a tabletop rpg the human-GM is able to handle complex scenarios by human story-reasoning that computers can't easily handle yet. In a roguelike the computer-GM is able to introduce complex scenarios by such a chaotically large amount of rules and math that no human can efficiently operate them.
@satchmoz However there are some lightweight MU*s (MUSHes, Multi User Shared Hallucination) which are just lightweight dice rolling with group fiat.
