A Torch in the Dark

THE DEAD LORDS HAVE ARISEN

A socialist revolution has overthrown the nobles of the Imperial capital of Kyneburgh. The Emperor Titan Kyne died cursing the land and all who deposed him. Now the only coin that is left lies buried with the undead Lords who forged the Empire. Cultists, demons, and undead nobles threaten the city! Delve into the dungeons and crypts beneath Kyneburgh, twice-kill the dead Lords, and secure the People's Revolution!

A SINGLE-PLAYER RPG FORGED IN THE DARK

Using a single player variation of Blades in the Dark players can quickly generate characters with unique skills and items. As you delve you use your creativity and limited resources to overcome dozens of encounters, randomly generated from 9 unique dungeon locations. When your pack is full of broken crowns and coins you return above ground to the Imperial capital for downtime where your character can recover and resupply for their next delve.

If you succumb to your wounds you die!

If you become corrupted by the diabolic magic of the dungeon you die!

If your last torch burns out in the pitch black dungeons you die!

The only way to live is to kill the ghoulish nobility in their crypts, steal back their wealth, and survive to delve again and secure the city from the demon curse corrupting it. For the realm! For the people! For the Revolution!
