Kult Revival
Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2016 3:05 pm
Honestly, this belongs on more of a "Roleplaying News That Makes You Etc" thread, but I don't think we have one of those. Anyway, Kult is a... fuck it, it was made in the nineties but that doesn't make it a classic. It's a shitty old dark gritty weird cult horror game.
But it's getting a reboot via Kickstarter. Which mostly means it will be all the more sad if it fails, because if you can't even get a Kickstarter re-release, where does that leave you?
But it gets better, because they decided it needs a new system for this new age, not tied down by the bullshit of the old thinking - and hey, that is very good thinking. The last thing you want to do is ignore ideas from the last twenty years and just reprint the old garbage with stupid tables.
But for this new system, they decided to use Bear World.
I can't wait for this to be awful. A friend who specialises in reviewing those trashy cult games has a special place for hating Kult, and I will make him review this if it comes out.
