Kult is a contemporary role-playing game of ultimate horror. 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. Kult is set in large cities at the end of the 20th century. It is a world where human wickedness is mingled with terrors from other parts of reality. But human darkness is not all that threatens: the evil that humans do corrodes the boundaries of reality and admits creatures from the other side. Our dreams assume physical form and pursue us into the daylight. The characters of the game can be seekers of truth, perhaps motivated by a desire to regain a forgotten past, or to have revenge, or by simple curiosity. They aren't pure-hearted crusaders against evil. Rather, we should think of them as lost souls who need to slay their own demons in order to have peace. Terrors from childhood rise up and assume physical forms. Horror is created inside us. In this game, the heroes are forced to go into darkness, perhaps into death--only to discover that there is no end. For the characters of Kult, Death is only a beginning. Kult is a complete role-playing game. It contains rules for creating player characters with abilities, dark secrets, advantages, disadvantages and skills. Ready-made archetypes will enable you to create an interesting character speedily and commence playing. There are rules for encountering terror; advanced, realistic combat rules; and a comprehensive, logical magic system.
