"*I'm* Cherokee Jack!"

A casual gamer, I like NetHack for the creativity of its fan base, in generating and sharing so many patches and forks. I have little experience in coding (except in BASIC) but some experience as a writer. My goal in starting an account on this wiki is to get some practice writing for the web while contributing to good article quality for other NetHack players (and perhaps sharing YANI or two of my own).

About the user name: No, I am not really Cherokee. My user name is a reference to the character "Cherokee Jack" in the 1966 cult film Red Zone Cuba aka Night Train to Mundo Fine, immortalized by movie-riffing show Mystery Science Theater 3000, of which I am also a fan.

Current Projects

My current editing priorities include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Filling gaps in coverage of variants on the wiki
My current focus is on UnNetHack 5.1.0, as I think it's especially overdue for a more thorough treatment on the wiki, but I am also open to writing content about dNetHack, Slash'EM Extended, SLASHTHEM, etc. I've already done some work on pages for the Convict and Noble roles and Chris's implementation of the Pirate role.
  • Completing broken links
Using the list of Wanted Pages as a guide.
  • General proofreading of content
Not restricted to variants.


If you have any other projects to recommend, feel free to suggest them on my talk page.
