A New DCSS Server for South America

Greetings Dungeon Crawlers! We have a new server hosted in São Paulo, Brazil at crawl-br.roguelikes.gg, known officially as CBRG. This server is owned by tarballqc, who has generously agreed to host it and thus improve ping times for crawl players throughout South America. It supports both WebTiles and SSH Terminal play on port 222 with user crawl and the CAO key. This server uses a snapshot of the CDI user database from March 21st, 2026 as its starting user database, which means users already registered on CDI at that time won’t have to re-register on CBRG. We’ve already integrated CBRG into the info bots as well as CAO scoring, and support for dcss-stats.com should happen soon. CBRG also provides ASCIIPhilia’s DWEM WebTiles extension module loaded by default.

Many thanks to tarballqc for generously hosting our newest official server! Check out his other projects at roguelikes.gg…just be sure that your system has the latest Pentium processor, at least 4MB of memory, and plug-and-play compatible peripherals! Until next time, happy crawling!
