An RP descended from Roleplay/IfBayForumWereAMountainHall, the game follows the adventures of Website/Bay12 Forumites dumped inside a vaguely roguelike RPG world, wondering how they got there and armed with only their everyday clothes, the most weaponizable object in their homes, and class abilities granted by mysterious wrist computers. Every time a door is opened, the dungeon expands, and a new, often bizarre challenge awaits within the next room. Recently rebooted.

* LimitBreak: [=HugoLuman=] performed one upon Zanzetkuken's death. The concept has since been dropped.
* LevelGrinding: ''Propman denies doing this in order to get ahead of the rest of the group.'' In reality however, doing such a thing is rather difficult, as dungeon rooms get harder the further they are from the base spawn room, while overworld encounters, which remain fairly manageable so long as you don't stray near the edges of the map, only produce low amounts of experience and are generally inefficient.
