Hey everyone! I'm looking to get into C# and Monogame!
There is also this GitHub https://github.com/simondarksidej/XNAGameStudio/wiki/RiemersArchiveOverview
- Are there any common practices/conventions that I should know about?
- Some tutorials for monogame

docs
I agree with you, the wealth of XNA documentation that's out there will be largely compatible with MonoGame, if not fully. In fact, I think MS still hosts XNA documentation. There's also http://rbwhitaker.wikidot.com/xna-tutorials and https://github.com/simondarksidej/XNAGameStudio/wiki/RiemersArchiveOverview for some tutorial approaches with lots of examples.

Current state of 2D game code-first frameworks?

Game engine for a 2D, top down, rogue like, pixel art game?
Fair warning, base Monogame leaves a lot to you to create yourself. It's technically a framework and not an engine (difference explained here). However, there are several extensions that add specific things you might want.

Tired of current language but scared to switch (sunken cost fallacy evaluation)
And as for replacing libraries, I obviously don't know what you've got going on, but there are a bunch of extensions to Monogame that add all sorts of stuff. Maybe there's something in the you can use to help you?
