This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Though to be frank this was not the one I'd seen before. Perhaps it was a thread on RPGnet with the author, can't remember now.

Thank you. Gonna read it later, at work. ;]

Quote from: Itachi;879307Anyway, I'm getting tired of *world hacks, because I think the rules possibilities are getting exhausted at this point. What I like to see is exactly these games which take just some cues from it and move on to create their own thing. That's why the new Kult got me so excited.

Yep, especially since there are cases of x-influenced games that are better than the original works. :]

However, the greatest problem I have with *.world games, meaning no dice rolling for GM seems to be present in whatever variation of the original ruleset the devs are planning to use.

Fuck, I like to roll dice in KULT...

I want to be excited about this game, but that "GM never rolls" shit kills my interest dead.

How hard would it be to just ignore that part? Would it affect anything for the GM to just take up any adversary rolls?

That's the problem - everything is a bit cryptic at this point, so there's no telling just how exactly it does look like and whether it might be bypassed without avoiding "Domino effect" and such.

I'm no stranger to "GM doesn't roll" rulesets, (or diceless for that matter, AMBER, ftw!) however in certain cases - KULT is one - I really love to be affected by the randomness, feel the tension coming from unpredictability & so on, and so forth.

Though my predictions regarding the outcome aren't exactly very bright right now, I just hope it will turn for better and everything will somehow work out, especially since @Itachi pointed out that AW-influenced games might differ considerably from typical hacks.

Finger crossed.

I would be far more interested in a straight-up reprint of the original, warts and all.

I want to see the obscure 90's cult horror movie I missed the first time around, not the big-budget CGI remake, so to say.

Damn, I'd gladly pay my monthly salary for setting-only, ruleset-less release featuring material from all editions. Ehhhhhh...

In most PbtA titles this would break the game, as the effects from opposition are subsumed in the player rolls by default.

Small update...

Hardcover version of the book is supposed to cost at least 80$.



I get the feeling that devs want to add as much alternative sources of horror to this edition as possible. :D

And they're going with the 'limited edition cover' ploy... collectible editions ala DCC.
It's like they know this is only going to sell to the hardest of the hardcore collectors, so why not go for broke and milk the cow dry.

Meanwhile, Unknown Armies is returning in a multi-volume slipcase edition.

NEXT UP: A new edition of The Whispering Vault. Now based on the card draw system from Candyland and featuring a series of collectible foil covers as well as limited edition 'Know Your Stalkers' cards and TWV recipe book.

Where did you read of this?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the Purple Pit thread via Google. Shame that the odious Cam Banks is involved.

They announced it on the Atlas Games site, of which Cam Banks is the lead creative manager these days. The game itself is designed by Greg Stolze however.

I really don't see how this basic cost for a full colour hardback book, with original art, is surprising.
