'grats bza! i got my first streak last week, three straight. :)
i played a bit of brogue a few weeks ago, and my first impressions were quite good. it gets a lot right, specially interface-wise (with a caveat that sometimes i have a hard time parsing what i see because glyphs can be hard to discriminate; probably a palette issue). it was also my experience that the RNG is a bit wonky: there are situations early on that seem inescapable, specially since monsters follow you across levels, and there is only a staircase on every level. i've tried potions of descent and throwing myself over a chasm, but that can land you in a mess too. i guess i have some learning to do. i've put it aside for a while.
