- This article is about the IRC bot. For other uses, see Rodney.
Rodney is the bot which announces deaths on the #nethack@freenode channel. He also has a simple database in which users can record useful information for each other; many good tips and advice are contained therein.
Functionality

- In NetHack 3.4.3, Rodney would also announce when a player wishes, performs the Invocation, or enters the planes.
- learndb. Any member of the channel can view/add/remove/edit items in Rodney's database. This is a useful repository of information as well as humor. In many ways it's a wiki without history.
