I know the trope may need splitting, and example as a thesis is my writing process. I wasn't going to post it like that but it's late and I should probably be writing a paper right now instead. If you like literally ANY part of the page, keep that and dump the rest. I was doing that myself but shockwave crashed when I submitted and I lost my nice version. Pitch most of it, but if you don't mind taking a gamble, the trope name is actually really good. Even if you literally just have an obscure reference to Dredmor, the entire concept came from games like it. I noticed you had XCOM there. I always called those kinds of games Roguelikelikes. I found out about them through TVTropes probably a couple of years ago. That should have been my first name suggestion by the way. Whoops. Oh well. Forgot it wasn't a thing here already. Anyway, I purposefully left your paragraphs mostly unchanged. If you want me to fancy up this page a bit right now, it wouldn't be too much effort. I just can't fix grammar and style today. Which is my favorite part. All of your original paragraphs are intentionally left mostly untouched. If you'd like you can cut the rest, they're subtropes at BEST. Goblins stuff is on the chopping block, and that is more than fine, I expected it from the start, but I have a paper and I haven't slept in about a day. I will cut it poorly now though if you'd prefer. I'm gonna be gone most of tomorrow. I just am very unfamiliar with the editing style especially on these pages as it is and I got overexcited. My writing is really bad when I'm tired, so that's why I've got waaay too much exposition. I was going to create two separate articles out of the two branches. Obviously, the main trope is prioritized over the subtrope. And tiers REALLY doesn't work as a supertrope. Take it from someone who understands D&D AND Dwarf Fortress. It works, but badly. Keep the title and dredmor, and I did enough. I'll stop bothering you. I've just been looking for a trope with this name and your examples fit PERFECTLY. Call em Roguelikelikes or keep the current name. And if you'd like to help me out, I'm definitely submitting whichever one you don't choose. They are both good in subtly different ways. I love subtropes.

Edit: One thing -- If it's changing, change it soon. Doesn't have to be this week as long as we progress, but I will throw up the other one as soon as I'm not needed here.
