There's lots of free roguelikes and other ASCII graphics games that I like to play. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Also, fanfiction (and amateur publishing in general)
What are the rogue likes you enjoy?
Personally Brogue is my go to free roguelike, otherwise I play the English translation of Shiren the Wanderer through a PSP emulator on my phone.
Oooo I should put Shiren the Wanderer on my Vita. Thanks for the recco!
For sure! It's the best I've played in the series. I just beat the DS version of the original a couple months ago and decided to reward myself with the PSP version. It takes everything good about the original and cranks it up to 11. Enjoy ;)
My favorite traditional roguelike is definitely Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - you can play it from your browser!
Less traditional, but actually my favourite overall, would be Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - I say less traditional because it's more of a crafting game with base building elements than one where your goal is to find loot (although you can play it as a loot-finding game too - it's very flexible!). This one has to be downloaded.
And of course Dwarf Fortress isn't a roguelike at all, but I like playing with ASCII graphics so Honorable Mention.
They all have forums too.
