How I installed the Linux version of angband from the aur repository on to my steam deck.
And it worked, it downloaded and installed angband however with a font glitch that can be resolved with a command I found from ( https://github.com/angband/angband/issues/4575 )

Working on my first procedural-level generator.
Broge, Angband, C:DDA, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, are some options.

Help with pausing while traveling
Link to Angband running code, which has some of the features you're describing. It's a big chunk of C, but about halfway down there's a comment with a bunch of description which might be useful.

People To Make Games With: A Free Resource
There is a way to get many people contributing and collaborating to a single project over extended periods, even as individual people come and go. That way is called free and open-source software. See e.g. Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup, Brogue: Community Edition, Angband, Cataclysm: DDA.

[Steam] SOULCALIBUR VI, Yakuza Kiwami, My Time At Portia
Soulcalibur vi. You should check out sil-q. The dev took inspiration for Tolkien and best part is that its free! https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q

Angband variant recs?
The other current one is Sil-Q, which is a further variant of an existing variant called Sil. I don't like it (either version) so I can't comment much, but it seems popular.

Any stealth based roguelikes ( or roguelites ) out there?
Check out Sil-Q, based on Angband and set in LoTR's deep past but completely redone so that spells and skills act together to make vastly less use of throwing fire around and vastly more of hiding, sealing doorways, increasing healing speed, seeing farther and through walls, putting monsters to sleep, and so on. It's surprisingly successful at feeling like Tolkien's accounts of the great accomplishments of Middle-Earth. https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q/

Sil-Q (which you should all check out!) YASD. Did this character have a shot at getting a Silmaril?
It does have a tileset as of Sil-Q 1.5, which you can download here. I drew it myself! I’d recommend changing the font to 16x25.fon in the topbar, then turning on the tiles after starting your first game. Have fun!

Does Moria have any advantage over Angband?
I believe Sil started as a fork of Angband, and it's a favourite of mine. You might want to check that out. (I believe currently the most up-to-date version is Sil-Q https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q).

Looking for a casual game to replace FreeCell
Sil - A roguelike based on LOTR with a strong emphasis on discovery and tactical combat. I personally recommend Sil-Q over the original version as it comes with a bunch of bug fixes, balancing changes and improvements to the game.
