Re: Question regarding Crawl and this group.

New to this group. I notice that most here, it seems, play Crawl. Why
is that the Roguelike of choice here?

Just wondering. 

Because Crawl is where you'll land after playing all (or most of) the
other roguelikes, anyway. And when this happens you will know why...

No, it's rather a matter of seasons. DoomRL e.g. has its seasons, too.
Every once in a while a new one pops up, will be discussed here and,
after some time, vanish again. I'll leave it to your own why Crawl seems
so persistant.

But let me warn you: if you never played a roguelike, do yourself a
favour and don't let it be your first one. You will be shocked. Think of
smoking: your first cigarette better shouldn't be a cigar. ;-)
