to understand powder, you should first understand roguelikes."roguelike" is a term applied to a wide variety of games which share a common inspiration from the game rogue. a nonexhaustive list of such games would be: adom, nethack, crawl, diablo (i & ii), moria, and angband. my apologies to the many excellent roguelikes i didn't list. what characterizes these games? the exact specifications are a matter of debate indeed, i may receive hate mail for including diablo but i shall try to write a few:tactical play. the unit of action is based on the individual adventurer. the game is not twitch oriented (like quake, rewarding reflexes & well trained actions) nor is it strategy oriented (like civilizations or warcraft, requiring working on the large picture)based in hack and slash. a roguelike isn't primarily about plot development or telling a story. it is about killing things and acquiring treasure.random games. a roguelike is a dungeon crawler where no two games are the same. the maps are different, the items are different, there are no guaranteed win paths.permadeath. you die, that is it. no restoring a savegame. good roguelikes delete your save game after loading them. this is compensated by the replayability of the game.complex interactions of properties. while the commands for a roguelike are simple, the potential interactions are not. my favourite example is equipping a silver ring as a weapon in order to damage a creature vulnerable to silver, but not one's other weapons. [editor: this matches the hack branch of the roguelike tree, not the angband branch]steam rolling monsters. if a critter is in your way, and weak, you shouldn't even notice it is there.
