    Yes, the Hidden Dragon Klan is of recent creation and so far with only one member:

    https://tnnt.org/clan/Hidden%20Dragon

    Therefore, Sir, You must be Mister Julian Corbin. Three games finished in The November Nethack Tournament of 2023, unfortunately without ascending the hero. What kind of players do You prefer in Your klan, Mister Corbin ? Experienced, beginners, any
    particular profile ? Please write COMPLETE information and answer probable questions.

    Five days without reply. Claiming that any Nethack player 'should'
    join a klan, but not providing further information, is VERY poor
    promotion of the said klan. If You were serious You would have
    replied already. You better continue alone.

    Maybe he is so busy playing that he found no time to read this
    NG? ;-)

    I'd read the OP's post that he wasn't looking for any specific
    profile, rather just inviting interested folks for company.

    BTW, re: TNNT; is that tournament to play only with that TNNT
    variant? - I saw this variant had been played also before the
    tournament started (if I observed correctly). - I recall that
    other tournaments allowed to choose the preferred variant?

    The Junethack (however that's spelled) tournament in June offers
    a bunch of variants.

    TNNT, The November NetHack Tournament, has essentially replaced
    the old /dev/null tournament which ran in November for many years.
    It only offers the most recently released version (so nethack 3.6.7
    this time) with some tournament-specific modifications. I think it
    was playable during October for beta testing purposes.

    Disclaimer: I'm not involved in any of the tournaments.

    Yes, it's basically a spiritual successor to /dev/null/nethack, and like devnull, it focuses on the current vanilla NetHack release (with some tournament-specific challenges and special content). The other major tournament that's still around, Junethack, is sort of a celebration of
    variants so allows play across whatever popular (i.e. hosted on
    supported public servers) variants you like.
