About this board game

Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne is a single-player dungeon crawler for 1–2 players, set in an endless necropolis where survival is only the beginning.

Your character has miraculously survived an execution, but awakening brings no relief. In the dark world of Ker Nethalas, you soon discover that your problems have just begun—and that there are fates worse than death.

The game uses a straightforward D100 ruleset to resolve uncertain actions. Whenever the outcome is not evident or something important is at stake, roll a D100 and compare the result with the appropriate skill on your character sheet. Rolling equal to or below that skill means the check succeeds.

Combat is a major part of what makes this dungeon crawler distinctive. Victory depends not only on the dangers you face, but also on how carefully you manage your resources and choose which powers to use.

  • Explore a setting built around an endless necropolis.
  • Resolve uncertain tasks with clear D100 skill checks.
  • Make meaningful decisions about resources and powers during combat.
  • Tell the story of a character who escaped execution only to face a darker fate.

With its simple core resolution system and emphasis on resource management, Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne offers a focused dungeon-crawling experience centered on risk, survival, and the consequences of every dangerous decision.
