From RogueBasin
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The RogueBasin intends to be a central knowledge base for everything related to the Roguelike genre, as well as a detailed directory of Roguelikes.

Goal

Roguebasin is a communal resource to document Roguelike Games and the community that surrounds them. Our goals are similar to those of Wikipedia - to provide a neutral, centralized, and archived location to document this field. Individual roguelike sites are scattered across the 'net and also can disappear at any time. We do not use Wikipedia, however, as we have a very different standard for notability and original research than they do. Roguebasin is an appropriate location to record the most obscure roguelikes. Roguebasin is also an appropriate location to place permanent articles on roguelike theory, whether or not they are original research.

We would like to encourage a neutral point of view, however.
