-As of November 2023, TNNT is based on [[NetHack 3.6.7]]. There are few, if any, gameplay differences from the base version of NetHack. Fundamental game mechanics will stay the same - weapons and armor stats and properties, roles and races, spells and their effects and levels, monster abilities and behavior, so on and so forth. The changes that players will see and experience are in the way of ''optional'' custom content and/or branch levels added to the game, without changing the mechanics or usability of existing content.

 In 2020 and earlier years, TNNT offered very in-depth scoring. At the core, ascensions were worth 50 points each, which could be boosted by conducts, speedrunning, and streaks. Individual and clan trophies earned also contributed points to scoring.
