Kult: Difference between revisions

'''''Kult''''' is a Swedish [[Dark Fantasy]]/Splatterpunk (self-description) [[Role-Playing Game]] by authors Gunilla Jonsson and Michael Petersén. (Who are, despite the very dark topic, two nice people working in a bookstore.) It takes place here and now, in the reality of today. But reality is not what we think. Around us the world is dark and dangerous and nothing is what it seems to be. Our reality is {{spoiler|an illusion, created to keep us captive. We are imprisoned since the ages past by a dictatorial creator.}} The true world, invisible to us, is ruled by creatures who dominate the false facades, our prison wardens and torturers. And if your characters happen to steep too far into Evil, they might actually {{spoiler|turn into monsters physically}}.

What can you do in ''Kult''? You can fight evil... or become evil yourself... or simply go mad. {{spoiler|Or outgrow such childish things as Good, Evil, Madness and FourdimensionalFour-dimensional spacetime. But don't expect that to be easy.}}

* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]:* In a sense. While it's rather difficult to see {{spoiler|the Demiurge/Archons}} as the good guys, truth is, the {{spoiler|divine, pre-Illusion humans}} were completely amoral bastards that destroyed millions of lives and caused untold suffering to members of weaker species. Perhaps the setting's deepest, most interesting question would be {{spoiler|"Do we ''deserve'' to AwakeAwaken?"}}
