I've been playing DCSS since around the last days of version 0.8, and I've had a couple of wins since. I've played some other Roguelikes such as Rogue, Adom and Zangband, but Crawl is the only one I've really dived into because of its superiour sophistication and "logicalness". I hail from South Africa, and so I play Crawl offline only; the lag to overseas servers is absolute killage.

Also, I believe in the text terminal interface. Graphical tiles is for wussies! :P

Though I've dabbled extensively with a bunch of different backgrounds, I've only had great success with Naga venom magi so far, and I can proudly say that I got 5 runes on my very first win about a year ago. So at the moment I'm focusing on only one thing: perfecting my NaVm of Chei hybrid building technique. Besides the fact that I like to tackle challenges systematically, the simplicity of focussing on one build for a long time helps me retain some of my sanity in this... wonderfully complicated game.

I intend to write a thorough guide for beginners and intermediate players on winning the game with NaVm of Chei. Once I feel I've got something resembling a master's grasp on it, that is.
