The setting

«Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Imperium Maledictum» is a d100 based system for roleplaying in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium.

Players take on the role of citizens of the Imperium in service to a powerful patron, with games focused on investigation and social encounters rather than combat. The Imperium is a deadly place, and the players must tread carefully if they hope to survive. Your service to your patron allows you to move through Imperial society where others can’t. The Influence you and your patron have with the many factions of the Imperium will determine how your investigations proceed, where you can go, and what resources you have access to.

Core rulebook of Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Imperium Maledictum

The adventure

You have been assigned by your patron, Inquisitor Halikarn, to investigate the site of a purported miracle on Hive Rokarth. Your mission is to determine whether the incident is a sign of a true saint of the Imperium. If so, you must bring them back safely and eliminate any potential heretics you encounter.

System of the Month August: Breakfast Cult

The setting

«Breakfast Cult» is a tabletop roleplaying game about mystery, high school drama, and cosmic horror. It takes inspiration from weird fiction, mystery games, and supernatural anime to create a bright, macabre setting where pain and horror lurk just beneath the surface of a dysfunctional high school. If you’re looking for cosmic horror with an original twist, give it a try!

The adventure

Welcome to Occultar Academy, the top occult high school in the world, where high school drama meets eldritch horrors. Things are never quiet here: ancient rituals are used to summon forgotten elders of the past, things get stolen from Forbidden Sections, prom might get ruined, there are rumours of spies and vampires. It’s up to our heroes to figure out exactly what’s going on in this week’s episode, solve the mystery, and ideally not get into detention.

KuL news May ’26

TAGS:

It was as if we’d invited disaster upon ourselves: whilst in our March news post we were joking about the fact that we weren’t moving house or undertaking any major renovations, our association’s premises ended up looking like a building site for a while following water damage in the rooms above. But all is well: the worst is over and soon everything will look as we – and you – are used to.

What else has been happening:

  • Room hire revenue remains above budget, which we’re very pleased about. Equally encouraging: donations at free events have increased. We’re delighted by this show of appreciation!
  • The Pathfinder Society and the Starfinder Society have been discontinued. There is a separate post explaining the reasons. However, Starfinder adventures will continue at KuL, and the replacement for the Pathfinder Society is expected to launch in the autumn.
  • The new KuL campaign world and the successor to Arcanor is scheduled to launch in June or July.
  • Demand for the Paint&Prep event has been very low recently. Therefore, the format is being suspended for the time being. However, we are open to ideas so that we can continue to provide a space for GMs in the future, much like the GM-Talk used to be.
  • Dogs are awesome and therefore welcome at KuL. We ask owners to clean and dry their four-legged friends’ paws. Additionally, please give the room a quick tidy after playing to prevent dog hair from accumulating. Thank you very much!

KuL Play: Nemesis
12., 21. & 27.05. English Board game
Nemesis is a semi-cooperative board game that throws you and your crew right into a nightmare scenario on a crippled spaceship. You wake up from hibernation only to find: one of your crewmates is dead, the ship has sustained critical damage, and you are definitely not alone. Your goal? Survive and complete a secret mission. The catch? Every player has their own agenda, and it doesn’t always align with the survival of the entire group…

It all started with an idea: to run the Pathfinder Society in Bern. The Pathfinder Society is the official campaign for the Pathfinder system – similar to the Adventure League in Dungeons & Dragons. One-shot adventures, so you can try out the system and have a great evening, but also a series of one-shots, so players can experience a great story over several evenings and encounter familiar NPCs in a later adventure.

To make the Society’s international concept work, quite a bit of bookkeeping and administrative effort was required. You could collect points and use them to unlock bonuses. The flip side of the coin, however, was that you had to open an additional account on a website that was entirely in English (an issue for sessions played in German). And then there were some spells that were banned, some lineages that were banned, restricted under certain circumstances and/or had to be unlocked… Yet all you really wanted was to just give a different system a go.

The longer it went on, the more the drawbacks of the Society became apparent, accentuated by adjustments made to the Society adventures at the start of the current season. And that’s when the decision was made to stop running the Society adventures.

This also applies to the Starfinder Society, which has been running adventures in the KuL rooms for a few weeks now. The criticism concerns exactly the same points that are also perceived as cumbersome in the Pathfinder Society.

  • An additional account (and an Organised Play ID) is required
  • Some options must first be unlocked
  • The objective-based, multi-stage reporting of the adventure restricts the GM’s ability to improvise

And generally speaking, the overarching concept of the Finder campaign is not seen as an advantage by the vast majority of players. The main thing is to play; the chance of ever participating in a Finder Society with your character somewhere else is slim.

Therefore, both the Pathfinder Society and the Starfinder Society are being discontinued, and the two current game masters will no longer be offering sessions.

What now?

Pathfinder Society

The Pathfinder Society is taking an early summer break and will return by October at the latest. It will no longer operate as a Society, but will continue with one-shot series. Planning is still at an early stage, but if the game master’s ideas are anything to go by, there will also be annual seasons with their own interconnected stories, as is familiar from the Pathfinder Society. Just without the administrative burden and the level-up rules for higher-level characters.

Starfinder Society

The Starfinder Society is not taking a break. Anyone wishing to explore the infinite expanses will still find what they’re looking for at KuL. No longer under the umbrella of the Starfinder Society, but completely separate from it. That means: no Organised Play ID, no Society restrictions, and a little more freedom for the game master and the players.
