1480: CryptoASCband: Angband + ASCII DOS + Original tiles + Crypt of the NecroDancer OST + no death!
1No commentary. Test run of an Angband pseudo-variant I sorta accidentally concocted. ^_ ^
Starting a Dwarf Warrior.

With .prf parameters matching this pattern:
feat:open floor:*:1:250
feat:pile of rubble:*:2:178
feat:magma vein:*:2:178
feat:quartz vein:*:9:176
feat:magma vein with treasure:*:3:178
feat:quartz vein with treasure:*:3:176
feat:granite wall:*:1:177
feat:permanent wall:*:1:177
feat:lava:*:4:178
copied from lib/customize/font-ibm.prf.
Save to user.prf or whatever. Reload the .prf after picking the tileset, and ASCII will replace the tiles for the dungeon graphics, but not for (most of?) the characters, monsters, and items.
And if using SDL2 like me, copy lib/customize/font-ibm.prf to lib/user/font-sdl2.prf
The DOS-style font doesn't have accented characters, so accented characters will show up scrambled until replaced with unaccented versions in artifact.txt and monster.txt in lib/gamedata and lore.txt in lib/user--but that can only be done if starting a new run, otherwise it'll report a corrupt save--or just crash--on load. Characters to replace: ë, é, É, í, î, ó, ö, ô, û, ú, á, â

I've since bought Danny Baranowsky's Crypt of the NecroDancer soundtracks off of Steam (on sale in the Summer Sale)

so next time I'll just be playing the non-vocal ones on shuffle in Winamp. : )
Using the Original tileset was inspired by @voiceofthunder9620 's record-busting playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5WwBB4_oVA
Turning off permadeath is "=xd" (Options - Cheat options - Cheat: Allow player to avoid death: yes (cheat_live)).
