I don't know what Nethack does, but I know Angband - I used to
maintain my own variant (never got as far as publishing, though).
Levels are generated completely fresh on first entry; if you go down
to level 2, then down to level 3, then up to level 2, it'll be a
*different* level 2. No seeds get saved.
