Latest revision as of 08:33, 28 March 2015

G Despite having played NetHack for several years, I'd still consider myself something of a newbie. I'm in love with the richness and depth of the game as well as its humor value. I'm also something of an amateur programmer, so I do occasionally like to fiddle with the source code. If on my adventures on this wiki you'd like to chat with me, feel free to check in on my talk page. - Crawldragon (talk) 08:33, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

I have an active nethack.alt.org user account: Crawldragon on NAO (stats, games, deaths, dumplogs, ttyrecs)

You may also find me in #NetHack as Crawldragon.

If I seem to you to be pedantic about grammar, it's only because I'm a bit of a bibliophile, which is largely the reason I love NetHack so much :-)

I have never ascended...
