# Item (NetHack: The Next Generation)
NetHack: The Next Generation, a variant of NetHack 3.1.3, added a large number of items; many of these have been incorporated into SlashTHEM. One item, the "ring of health", later appeared in mainstream NetHack (starting in 3.3.0) as the ring of gain constitution.
