The other day I was fooling around with a few random Roguelikes that were listed on roguebasin, when I came across a game I had heard of but never really tried.
The game is ToME, which I think was a silly Angband variant from long ago (I really rather disliked Angband and all the nonsense that was made about it).
However this game ToME has been remade from scratch and has become something wonderful. As an ADOM player for centuries I have discovered this game ToME with a renewed love for roguelikes, and the community around this game is truly creative and interested with the development of the game. And the creator is not an all-powerful and mysterious sexy German man like Dr.T.B., giving us mere glimpses of his greatness with yearly posts. The developers of ToME are really involved and are constantly working on material to make the game better.
So I am bringing this up on the ADOM forums because I know that there are many great roguelike players around this community, and while I have been hoping for JADE for years now, or even some kind of idea for its development, I have found ToME to be something we can get involved in as roguelike players to help this game become something great.
Here is the website, its a hefty download beware!

Also, I am obviously totally oblivious to any stigma that may or may not be around this game or the people that develop it, I've been a sheltered ADOM player!
