The November Nethack Tournament


2018 ARCHIVE

Do you love to play NetHack?

Want to show everyone your personal prowess?

Join a clan and team up to accomplish feats too hard for one player?

Or just mess around and see how many different ways you can get yourself killed?

Then come join us in November for a month of NetHacking fun.

How to Play

You will need an SSH client to connect to the game servers. Linux and Mac OS typically come with this installed; Windows users can use either a free client like PuTTY or Windows Subsystem for Linux.

TNNT is hosted by hardfought.org. Connect to "nethack@hardfought.org" via SSH, and register an account. Then, you can choose any of three servers to play on:

Connect to your preferred server the same way via SSH and select the TNNT game option. That's all there is to it!

To create, join, or manage clans, go here. Clan membership (creating and joining) will be frozen after November 10th!
