I don't see any game group for "Rogue variants" listed on the Rogue page. Nor do I see any such group on the Nethack page. Is this an oversight, or a choice?

There are distinct groups for "DND versions" and "Wizard's Castle variants." Seems like there should be a similar group list that includes Rogue, the Nethacks, ADOM, etc.

We probably had it in the past, but it became a more bloated "roguelike" game group. Which in turn was removed in favour of a genre. So it probably makes sense to have a "Rogue variants" gamegroup brought back for games that follow the formula more to the letter.

I think the 'roguelike' term got integrated in the game genre tags instead of just as a group. (nevermind, just the same as Vedder wrote)
