11/5/25, 18:43 Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne — Blackoath Entertainment
When you sit down to play Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne, you, the
player, take on the role of a single character. Your PC is your avatar in the dark
tunnels of the necropolis, and your decisions (and luck!) will determine their fate.
Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne uses a simple D100 ruleset to resolve all
tasks. Whenever a PC tries to do something and the result isn't evident, or there is
something at stake, you will need to perform a check. This is done by rolling
D100, and comparing the result to the corresponding skill on the character’s
sheet. If the result is equal or lower than the skill’s score, the check is a success.
Combat is a big part of what makes Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne
unique: characters need to manage their resources while being smart about their
choice of powers used. The opposed combat check makes combat unpredictable
and will require your constant attention, as you evaluate the different options
that will open to you depending on your luck and actions.

Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne features:
• Detailed random dungeon generation, providing endless replayability and
adventures, with an easy to use D100 ruleset that makes it the ideal game
for new solo RPG players.
• Meaningful character builds with endless combinations. Want to make a
warlock that wears heavy armor and summons the dead, or a berserker that
casts cold blasts and turns invisible, or an expert at hand-to-hand combat
that can summon a shadow clone? These and many more are all possible,
thanks to 100 different abilities, spread among 20 Masteries.
• Tense survival mechanics, focused on the dungeon delving experience. Want
to take a rest? You better make sure you fortify that room, or something will
wander inside and eat your face off.
• A unique bestiary with a wide array of undead creatures and other similar
abominations.
• An original dark fantasy setting, inspired by England in the 17th Century, and
Spain at the height of the Inquisition.
• Built from the ground up to be played by a single player with a single
character. You are alone in the darkness, and nobody’s coming to rescue you.
