Nightmare! Tips

UltimateChaos:
Farming for ammo early is something I hadn't thought of, but makes a lot of sense.  One of my most likely causes of death is running out of ammo because I'm too damn careful/fast/scared to go pick up extra.

Farming ammo is something you do if you get lucky (or if you like spending 5 minutes on level 1 EVERY TIME YOU START A NEW RUN). If you're doing Ammochain runs, the chained court should have all the ammo you need. Shotgun runs have to wait a bit longer, but they're more ammo-efficient so you should be able to get to the halls of carnage just before you run out. If you're running out of ammo, it's probably because your kill rate is on the wrong side of 50%.

My Nightmare! success rate shot up like a rocket (From 1% to 10%!) when I started taking only the traits that make you faster. My usual N! AoSh build goes Fin->Fin->Rel->Rel->HR->HR->Whatever so take that as you will, Nightmare! runners.

Oh, another thing: Every time you get to be in a room by yourself with all the doors closed, savour the moment. Slowly map the surrounding area, closing the doors every time a monster shows up. Never underestimate how completely awesome it can be to get free exploration (and hence more chances to find useful items without an imp breathing down your neck) in Nightmare!.
