Thema: Solo Dungeon Crawl - Ker Nethalas - Into the Midnight Throne

[Andropinis]

Kennt das jemand, liest sich nur anhand der Beschreibung ja ganz nett?

Condemned to death. Executed. Yet somehow, you survived. Now you roam the endless tunnels of the City Below, the Midnight Throne: Ker Nethalas. Will your skills and wits save you once again, or will you join the countless restless dead?

Welcome to Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne, a single player dungeon crawler set in an endless necropolis. With the tools presented in the book you’ll tell the story of your character who, after miraculously surviving an execution, wakes up to realize that their problems have just begun, and that there are fates worse than death.

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.

So was steht und fällt leider immer mit der Detailumsetzung, d.h. von einem groben Preview lässt sich nicht viel sagen.

Ich habe den Verlag aber auch auf der Merkliste und werde da irgendwann mal einen Schwung Spiele zum Anspielen bestellen.

Nicht aus erster Hand, aber es gibt auf Youtube eine ausführliche Vorstellung mit Playthrough:

Ich packe das mal hier rein, ist vom gleichen Autor und klingt ganz interessant:

Welcome to Salvage & Sorcery: Scraphounds of Cygnus! In it, you play as a Scraphound working for the Reclamation Corps aboard the giant pile of junk known as Thanatos Station. Your home is Oblivion’s Edge, a dying star system choked by warp storms and populated by fractured spacefaring factions. Humanity, once a dominant force, clings to survival on decaying space hulks and shattered moons. Fortunately for the millions of souls living aboard Thanatos, the station orbits Cygnus, a ravaged planet where techno-barbarians and mutated creatures lurk, all vying for scraps in a broken world. Those living on the station can do little else but organize raids down to the surface in an attempt to find ancient tech and resources to survive.

As a scraphound, your job is to go out on missions and complete them as efficiently as possible, be it rescuing a captured civilian, sabotaging an enemy operation, or simply ransacking some old facility. In the process, you’ll find tons of loot, enemies to kill, and challenges to overcome!

Salvage & Sorcery: Scraphounds of Cygnus features:

- An original setting, mixing elements of grimdark science fiction, aetherpunk, and science fantasy from the 70s and 80s.
- A simple D6 dice pool ruleset, easy to grasp and fun to play!
- Squad-focused gameplay: whether you’re a solo player or a group of friends, you can play with one of the four available Careers (Tech-Knight, Warp-Weaver, Gunslinger, Scrapper) and forget about having to micro-manage NPCs!
- As you progress through the game, your character will gain new abilities, allowing you to personalize their powerset through a selection of talents. Will your Tech-Knight focus on reinforcing their control over their ancient Exoshell, or will they choose the path of the Eldritch Archblade?
- Fast, simple gameplay focused around randomly-generated missions, fighting your way through randomly-generated facilities that range from ruined cities, to decaying terra-forming stations, derelict spaceships, and more!
- Loot, loot, loot! With over 100 unique pieces of loot to find, you will always be excited to see what the next big baddie drops!
- RPG guidance: although the core experience and gameplay loop aren’t a true RPG, there are rules to run your own RPG campaign in the Oblivion’s Edge setting, with many different tables to help you plan your scraphound’s next adventure!
