How to Make a Fair Roguelike

I didn't really mash up those two genres on purpose it was an accident whereas earlier in my career I also made a mashup game called fizzball. If you ever have an idea where you're like oh I can solve this problem in this genre by taking a lesson from a different genre I think that is a really good thing to explore. So far for me it's two for two in terms of generating good gameplay and and hooky game ideas yeah.
