==Welcome to the Brogue Community Wiki==

Brogue is a Roguelike game by Brian Walker. It is available at [https://sites.google.com/site/broguegame/ sites.google.com/site/broguegame]. It is a direct descendant of Rogue, unlike other popular modern roguelikes, and it favors simplicity over complexity, while trying to ensure that the interactions between components will be interesting and varied. It can be played on [[OS X version|Mac OS X]], [[Windows version|Windows]], or [[Linux version|Linux]], and it is possible to play entirely with the keyboard or entirely with the mouse or a combination of the two as the player chooses. Brogue can also be played on mobile devices running [https://apps.apple.com/app/id1619142059 iPad OS].

Brogue can also be played online at http://brogue.roguelikelike.com (EU) or http://brogue.telnet.games (NA).

The official Brogue forum is at http://www.reddit.com/r/brogueforum. There is a Discord channel at https://discord.com/channels/205277826788622337/205347357745872896.  There is an unofficial IRC channel at [http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=brogue QuakeNet #brogue]. All welcome non-players, new players, and veterans alike.
