Dear Kultists

We are moving out of the Initial Launch phase of KULT: Divinity Lost, and it is time to look ahead, into the future. So here is an update about what’s going on in the studio.

SUBLICENSING
We are in the process of finishing negotiations with several publishers for translations of KULT: Divinity Lost and sourcebooks to their local language. What publishers and languages will be announced as final arrangements are made.

REMAINING KICKSTARTER EDITIONS
We have a small quantity of Kickstarter Edition’ core rule books left, following the now completed Kickstarter fulfilment. These are being rerouted from the distribution center in the UK to our storage in Sweden. We intend to put them up in our webshop later this year and will of course give a shout out here when we do so. This will be the chance to complete your collection, or if you did miss the original Kickstarter - lay your hands on the uncensored rulebook.

UPCOMING PRODUCTS
We are working on a number of books for KULT: Divinity Lost. We will not announce any release dates just yet, but we are currently aiming to have our first new product on Kickstarter during Q2 2019.

So, what are the books that we are working on?

The first book has the working title ‘Beyond Darkness and Madness’ and is a grand toolbox for the Gamemaster when creating scenarios and campaigns. It is meant to be a resource that you can use during the downtime phase and is an asset both for world building in creating Places, Characters, Objects and building Atmosphere. The book also has several chapters devoted to Horror and how to explore disturbing themes, trauma and body horror in a safe and responsible way. This is a book that will push the boundaries for those that wish to explore what horror can be in a Role-playing Game. From the uttermost grotesque to the vulnerable and very personal.

The second book will be a companion to ‘Beyond Darkness and Madness’ and will be a collection of short scenarios that are tightly tied to the different themes of horror presented in the book. Just like in Taroticum & Other Tales, the scenarios will be very different from each other, exploring different aspects of the Kult mythos.

The third book we are working on will be a collection of rituals and a description of magic and how it works in the mythos of KULT: Divinity Lost. This book is primarily aimed for Aware and Sleeper characters that explores the occult. It will contain a large number of rituals for the five different magic arts.

The fourth book is a Player’s Companion that introduce the world of Kult from the player’ perspective and is a guide to deepen characters, explore dark secrets and, there might also be a few new archetypes. The book will contain all information needed for a player to create characters so that they will not need flip through the core rulebook.

Beyond these books (looking into 2020 and beyond) there will be a ‘City X Sourcebook’ that will detail a city in the US and make it available as a stage for campaigns, stories, and exploration. It has a dark history and is locked in a struggle between the Archons and the Death Angels. We are also developing a book about playing Enlightened characters. Another ‘City Y sourcebook’ with a whole different theme and set in a very different location and an accompanying grand campaign, is being prepared as well.

And finally we are creating a book that may add a new “game mode” to KULT: Divinity Lost. It will focus on an organization that the players may either serve or have as their enemies (or maybe both!). Using this book adds the option of to exploring the mythos from more of a classical Mission Based horror where investigators and problems solvers encounters the horror that exist beyond the veil, rather than the personal horror exploration that is the main angle in the Core Rulebook.

So, a lot of different things are being developed in the grand machinery!

Note that everything above is subject to change. The production plan may change in respect of in which order books are published, new items might appear, others might be removed. But we will keep you updated from time to time and are of course keen to hear what you’d like to see.

Also, in February we aim to have a digital release of a previously unreleased Quick Play Scenario that deals with high level politics and manipulation, backstabbing and unholy alliances tied to lictors of Yesod and Netzach.

Take care, and may your game scenarios be dark and wonderful.

We sent a big shipments of KULT: Divinity Lost books to the US and they were inspected by the customs office. They classified the material as: “Bibles, Testaments and Prayer Books.”

For some reason it feels very fitting.

Fellow Kultists!
Here is an interview with Robin Liljenberg, Lead Game Designer, for KULT: Divinity Lost.

Also, now you can get hold of the Quick Play Scenarios via RPG-Drivethrough. Feel free to drop by, download them and give them a review! (And the core book as well of course)

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/…/KULT-Free-Quickplay-Scenario…

You can also download the scenarios from our homepage of course: https://kultdivinitylost.com/resources/

Otherwise things are moving along in quite a good pace. We have ordered some covers to the upcoming books from Bastien Lecouffe Deharme. There is an internal deadline on the 17/2 for a first draft of the book Beyond Darkness and Madness.

We have also received artworks for the Quick Play Scenario that we are planning to release this month so Dan Algstrand is doing the final parts of the layout.

Do you need more Kult in your life? Well, if you can't play it or read it right now perhaps you might be interested in a podcast where they play KULT: Divinity Lost.

Helmgast is back on Sweden's biggest roleplaying convention GothCon 19-21 April.

This year, the game designers Robin Liljenberg and Petter Nallo are leading you down in the dark depths of Stockholm’s underground system in the scenario “The 26th Hour” (Tjugosjätte Timmen).

Explore the forgotten subway tunnels, dugout shelters and service tunnels beneath Stockholm, as one of four subway technicians. We welcome you on a journey into the depths of your minds and the border between Elysium and the Underworld.

We are in need of gamemasters with a familiarity of KULT: Divinity Lost. A group of chosen ones which will receive the scenario a month before the convention and prepare themself in order to spread fear to those few brave enough to wander the tunnels and stairwells of the underground at the 26th hour. As most groups will be Swedish it’s good if you can speak Swedish, however if any English speaking Kultist is visiting Gothenburg for the convention we could probably find some group willing to play in English too. A reward will be given to the gamemasters that help us spread KULT’s gospel at GothCon and you will also have the opportunity to have interesting and weird discussions with Robin Liljenberg and Petter Nallo before and after the scenario.

We have planned the following play sessions:
Friday 22:00 - 03:00
Saturday 16:00 - 21:00 / 22:00 - 03:00

You can find information about GothCon here: http://www.gothcon.se/xliii/information?lang=en

And apply to be a gamemaster for the scenario Tjugosjätte Timmen here: https://secure.gothcon.se/webbanmalning/

Here is a link to the description of the scenario at GothCons webpage: http://www.gothcon.se/xliii/innehall/arrangemang…

Fellow Kultists

We in the KULT-team seeks your advice and suggestions.

We are right now working with Beyond Darkness & Madness. A book aiming to be a grand toolbox for the Gamemaster when creating scenarios and campaigns. Both when giving life to characters and locations but also in crafting stories that explore disturbing themes, trauma and body horror in a safe and responsible way. This is a book that will push the boundaries for those that wish to explore what horror can be in a Role-playing Game.

So, now we want to know from you: What do you want to see in a book that should be a tool for a Gamemaster in crafting stories and give advice how to explore different kinds of horror and sublime experiences?

Please, share your thoughts and insights with us.

Nachdem ich jetzt ganz in Ruhe durch alle Bücher durch bin, muss ich sagen das das Internetz Recht hat:
Ich bin auch sehr für ein Sourcebook oder Spin-Off RPG über die Children of the Underworld. Da steckt so viel Potenzial in diesem Setting im Setting, das mich sehr (positiv) an Clive Barker's Nightbreed erinnert hat. Scheint aber wohl nichts in Planung zu sein.

[tartex]

Frosty hat übrigens ein 12teiliges, deutschsprachiges Kult-Audio-Let's-Play bei YouTube online. Zumindest die ersten vier Teile mit jeweils so 30 Minuten Länge sind schon verfügbar. Der Rest wird wohl erst im Laufe der Zeit freigeschalten.

Oh, cool!
Danke für den Hinweis!

Der erste Übersetzungslizenz von Kult: Divinity Lost wurde gerade bekanntgegeben: K:DL wird von Nosolorol auf Spanisch veröffentlicht:

via FB:

KULT: DIVINITY LOST to be released in Spanish

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN (May 16, 2019) – Acclaimed RPG Publisher Helmgast AB today announces that Nosolorol has acquired the licensing rights to manage the worldwide translation, production, and distribution of the critically acclaimed horror pen-and-paper role-playing game KULT: DIVINITY LOST, 4th Edition, in Spanish. This includes all current and upcoming official products for the game line in said language.

“Helmgast is ecstatic to be able to show KULT: DIVINITY LOST to the myriad of Spanish-speaking KULT-fans around the globe. We believe that Nosolorol is a perfect partner for us in this endeavour, with their experience and commitment”, Marco Behrmann, KULT: Divinity Lost Brand Manager, said. “They will surely bring in old and new role-players into the gory, fantastic, grotesque, and horrific experience that only KULT can give.”

Nosolorol commented: “We are excited to be part of Kult history, working together with Helmgast to make the Spanish Kult edition possible. As Marco and the team know well, we have been looking persistently through the Illusion to achieve what we announce today: the translation of the excellent new edition of our beloved game.”

KULT: DIVINITY LOST was released in 2018 and is the 4th edition of the classic Kult. The game was developed using crowdfunding and broke the funding record for a Swedish developed RPG at the time, with the game funded within 20 minutes and reaching 27x its original goal.

The new game, KULT: DIVINITY LOST, features a completely new rule-set, and setting updated to present day. Escape your nightmares, strike bargains with demons, and try to stay alive in a world full of pain, torture, and death.

In KULT: DIVINITY LOST, the world around us is a lie. Mankind is trapped in an Illusion. We do not see the great citadels of Metropolis towering over our highest skyscrapers. We do not hear the screams from the forgotten cellar where hidden stairs take us to Inferno. We do not smell the blood and burnt flesh from those sacrificed to long forgotten Gods. But some of us see glimpses from beyond the veil. We have this strange feeling that something is not right—the ramblings of a madman in the subway seems to carry a hidden message, and, when thinking about it, our reclusive neighbor doesn’t appear to be completely human when we pass in the hallway. By slowly discovering the truth about our prison, our captors, and our hidden pasts, we can finally awaken from our induced sleep and take control of our destiny.

Kann jemand etwas zum Mehrwert der Bücher und addons jenseits des Core Rulebooks sagen?

[achlys]

Kurz:
Taroticum aber Other Tales- Verschiedene Szenarios mit unterschiedlichen Gewichtungen, sehr empfehlenswert. Taroticum ist eine Neuauflage des bereits 1990 erschienenen Szenarios gleichen Namens, mit den Regeln der 4. Edition. Es ist für seine Zeit typisch eher Railroadig, aber durchaus spaßig. Es spielt größtenteils in London. Die anderen Szenarios sind alle deutlich kürzer, jedes nimmt eine ganz eigene Herangehensweise zum Thema Horror. Vom Kammerspiel über Geisterhaus, Lost Island bis hin zu Battle Royal ist alles drin. Einige der Szenarios kann man kostenlos bei Helmgast auf der Kult: Divinity lost Seite herunterladen.

Black Madonna - Eine Kampagne, die schon zur ersten Edition auf schwedisch veröffentlicht wurde, jetzt zum ersten mal auf Englisch. Old School, aber sehr interessant. Sie beginnt in Deutschland in den 90ern, bringt die SCs nach Leningrad während des 2. WKs und endet schließlich in Moskau.

SL-Schirm - hier findet man die Agenda für den SL, sowie SL Moves für die verschiedenen 'Welten', NSCs usw. Meiner Meinung nach einer der besten Schirme, und besonders für das improvisierte Spiel von Nutzen.  - Schnell mal eine Begegnung mit einem NSC im Inferno aus den Hut zaubern? Kein Problem! Besonders in Verbindung mit dem ...

Tarot Deck - sehr brauchbar für die Erstellung von Szenarios und Kampagnen, schneller Ideengeber im Spiel usw. Die Anleitung gibt es frei zum Download, sowie ein praktisches Beispiel.

Reference Deck - Das Kartenset mit Regeln: Basismoves und Ausrüstung (Waffen) auf Karten. Nett, aber nicht notwendig. (Ich war davon etwas enttäuscht, hatte ich mir mehr von erhofft.)

Player's Guide Compamion: Buch I der Core Rules, gut um den Spielern die Regeln vorzulegen.

Archetype Bundle - Umfasst alle Archetypen zum schnellen Erstellen der SCs. Die für den Archetyp vorgeschlagenen Advantages und Disadvantages werden mit aufgeführt. Ähnlich wie die Playbooks, aber nicht so vollständig wie diese. Praktisch.

Würfel - genau das, mit schicken Sephiroth-Baum anstelle der 10

Gamer Fan Pack - Tasche und Pin sind zum Strunzen hervorragend geeignet.

The Original Game Soundtrack -  sehr stimmungsvolle Ambient Music, auf die verschiedenen 'Welten' abgestimmt. Zwei Stücke sind aber dabei, die ich nicht im Hintergrund laufen lassen kann, da sie zu hektisch bzw verstörend sind. (Zahnarztbohrer!) Den Rest kann ich empfehlen. Für 10 EUR kann man da nicht viel falsch machen.

Hab ich was vergessen?

Ja, das T-Shirt:
- Merchandising, Merchandising!



[Edit:]Post überarbeitet, Bilder eingepflegt.

[achlys]

Vorherigen Post stark überarbeitet.


Es läuft übrigens der Spanische Kickstarter. Hier mal die geplanten Editionen:


Die Edition Unica (mit Metall Sephiroth Baum und Metall Verschluss und anderem Schnickschnack) für 1000 EUR ist schon weg. 

[Crimson King]

Danke! Black Madonna werde ich im Original sicher niemals spielen. Taugt die Kampagne was als Ideensteinbruch, wenn man in der Postmoderne bleiben will, oder fokussiert sie doch zu stark auf das WK 2-Thema?

Taroticum und das Tarot Deck werde ich mir wohl mittelfristig zulegen.

[CiNeMaNcEr]

Danke! Black Madonna werde ich im Original sicher niemals spielen. Taugt die Kampagne was als Ideensteinbruch, wenn man in der Postmoderne bleiben will, oder fokussiert sie doch zu stark auf das WK 2-Thema?

Den Eindruck von achlys zu Black Madonna und Taroticum  and other Tales kann ich nur bestätigen.
Und ja die Kampange taugt als Ideensteinbruch für die Postmoderne (wobei sie eher 90er Fokusiert ist). WW2 Thema kommt nur wenig vor und kann noch mehr reduziert werden, kenne 2 Gruppen die das Chapter entfallen lassen haben, nicht unbedingt wegen der Thematik sondern weil sie es weder für nötig hielten noch dieses Kapitel besonders gut ausgearbeitet wurde.

Einen für das beste Cover, einen für die beste Schreibe. http://www.ennie-awards.com/blog/2019-ennie-winners/ (Nebenbemerkung: Ich frage mich echt, wie Mothership als bestes RPG gewinnen konnte. Scheinbar hat keiner dieses bugverseuchte System je gespielt; das bin ich sonst nur von Computerspielen gewöhnt... Auch Black Hack auf dem zweiten Platz für bestes Layout lässt mich bas erstaunt zurück.)

2. Eine nette Einführung zu Kult: The Beginner's Guide to Kult: Divinity Lost I Introduction and Setting

3. Ein Podcast von Sweden Rolls

4. Ein Interview mit Peter Nallo bei +1Forward über Kult einschließlich eines kleinen Spielausschnittes.

5. Helmgast wird ein neues Crowdfunding für eine Reihe Bücher starten. Dabei soll u.a. ein Kampangen und SL-band entstehen. Da sie diesmal nicht wieder über ein Jahr brauchen wollen, möchten Sie die Bücher in trockenen Tüchern haben. Ich bin gespannt...

[LushWoods]

Bei den Ennies, wie auch bei vermutlich fast allen anderen Preisen auch, stehen da Agendas und Verbindungen dahinter die wir nicht mitbekommen. Is halt so.
Das muß nicht unbedingt mit der Qualität der Teilnehmer in Zusammenhang stehen.
Ein neuer Kickstarter mit vernünftigem Zeitrahmen? Count me in.

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN (November 21, 2019) – Acclaimed RPG Publisher Helmgast AB today announces that German publisher Truant Spiele has acquired the licensing rights to manage the worldwide translation, production, and distribution of the critically acclaimed, ENnies Award winning horror pen-and-paper role-playing game KULT: DIVINITY LOST, 4th Edition, in German.

“KULT has been available in German since the first edition launched almost 30 years ago. To see it in Truant’s capable and knowledgeable hands is great, and brings the game full circle. Truant is an amazing partner for us to bring KULT: Divinity Lost to old and new fans of gruesome gnostic horror” Marco Behrmann, KULT: Divinity Lost Brand Manager, said. “We are really looking forward to see how the German fans will react to the new edition.”

Mario Truant, Publisher: “Me and my team, we are really looking forward to work on a German edition of this beautiful game and to make it available to the German players.

Mario Truant, Verleger: “Mein Team und ich freuen uns sehr darauf, an einer deutschen Version dieser wunderschönen Ausgabe von KULT zu arbeiten und sie den Spielern zu präsentieren.”

Schon ein paar Tage her, trotzdem hier die Infos von Helmgast über Facebook:

KULT: Divinity Lost
2. März um 13:22 ·

RPG Publisher Helmgast AB announces NILS HINTZE as the author of an upcoming campaign book for KULT: DIVINITY LOST.

Nils is the designer and primary author of Free League's Tales from the Loop, Things from the Flood, and most recently Vaesen: Nordic Horror Roleplaying. He is also a prolific scenario writer and playwright with over a decade of experience and is a big fan of KULT.

"I played the Swedish first edition of the game as a teenager and what fascinated me was that it was about real life people", says Nils. "My kind-of hopeless Swedish painter Ralf had been pulled into his own nightmares. It was so scary, after that first session of Kult I had a hard time walking home in the dark. That wasn't something that happened with other roleplaying games. I have always felt that the core of Kult is ordinary people not knowing what is going on, but experiencing a world as scary as real life would be if we made the choice to see all of the pains, worries, and horrors that people all around the world face every day. What monster could be as scary as oceans filled with plastic? This is not about hobbits — this is the real shit."

"I drew inspiration from three things when I wrote this campaign: from my work as a psychologist trying to help people who have experienced war and torture, my interest in history, and my own and others' experiences with the sadness, anxiety, and crippling feelings of meaninglessness that I think most people struggle with. These are themes that I think can be handled well by Kult, without having to censor it or turn it into fairy tales. Statistically most people - even those with jobs and a decent place to live - will experience episodes of mental illness during their lifetime, like depression and anxiety. Almost all of us have episodes where life feels so meaningless or frightening that we cannot even function in our ordinary life. We don’t know what is going on, who we are, or what the point of it all is. These are central questions in Kult, and this campaign tackles them head-on."

Petter Nallo is KULT: DIVINITY LOST's Creative Director: "Nils have proved himself again and again with an assortment of games that he is a great writer. But I think that his personal experiences, his job and his insights into the depths of the human psyche makes him an ideal person to write for KULT. What he has created is something that I would call unique. The campaign will explore a new decade, portray a new setting seldom used in game worlds, and ask profound questions.
