KuL News March ’25

The first month in our new premises is already over and although we have allowed ourselves a little rest after the remodelling, a lot has already happened:

  • From now on, club members can reserve the lounge free of charge for meetings, get-togethers, board games, etc. Please note that you only reserve the table – the room will continue to be used by the other groups.
  • Instead of CoffeeB, we now have a fully automatic coffee machine and soon coffee directly from the roastery in the neighbourhood – so we hope you enjoy it! There have also been changes to the beer, and Wirt Beer is now also available directly from the neighbourhood.
  • There is storage space for regular groups in the small room next to the Fantasy Tavern! So if you would like to store game material in the room, please contact us.
  • If you would like to offer a free game in the rooms, you can now fill in the new form at KuL-Quests: kul-verein.ch/en/kul-quests-2
  • And of course lots of little things: The new flyers are here, window films have been installed in both rooms, the chairs in the fantasy room have been replaced and there are now more lights, the laptops are at your disposal and much more!

Events!

  • Hello Güterstrasse! Open day, 16.3.
    Half inauguration party, half open day for new visitors. We look forward to meeting you all on Sunday 16 March for games, drinks, snacks and conversation. No registration is necessary but if you would like to support us on site, please let us know on Discord.
  • Pathfinder Society, German, 19.3. & 9.4.
    An introduction will take place on 19 March as part of the free role-playing days. You always wanted to try Pathfinder? This is the ideal opportunity. In April we will continue with the Society.
    Registration via RPGBern
  • System of the Month März: W10+, German, 22.3.
    We are in the Regency era in our good old world, in England, but not quite as we know it from the history books. On a balmy late autumn day, the Marchioness of Ripon, Phyllis Barrington, has invited everyone of distinction in the region to an enjoyable evening of music.
    Already booked!
  • KuL Quests: Star Trek Adventures 2E, English, 25.3.
    Space, the final frontier. Join the Starfleet and travel through the universe with your crew. Explore strange new worlds, encounter fantastic alien life forms and experience dramatic adventures in an endless galaxy.
    Registration via Discord
  • System of the Month April: Wanderhome, English/German, 2., 21. 30.4.
    Completely without dice or complicated values, we immerse ourselves in a fantastic world full of animal creatures, mystical places, minor and major deities. Wanderhome promises a poetic, but often also very funny journey through the world of Haeth, which we invent, revise, discard and recreate during the game.
    Registration via Discord
  • KuL-Social, 3.4.
    In April, we meet again to chat, play games and admire the space together.

Hey! Shh… hey. Yes, you. Do you already know the KuL Quests?

A few weeks ago, we introduced you to our new event series: the KuL Quests. The goal of this series is to bring as many people as possible to the role-playing table.

Since then, two KuL Quests have already been announced and partially held. But if we have our way, there should be many more!

That’s why we’ve simplified the registration process. If you would like to offer a public role-playing session with us, you can now let us know via the form. We will ask for all the information we need. And if we still have slots available, we will make our game rooms available to you free of charge.

All further information and the registration form can be found on the KuL Quest information page.

Hello Güterstrasse! — Open Day

Save the Date: March 16th, 2025

The move is complete – and our club has found its new home! Now it’s time to properly celebrate our new space on Güterstrasse. We warmly invite you to our open house event to raise a glass together, explore the new premises, and introduce our hobby to a wider audience. Come by, discover our new meeting spot, and be part of the first stories written here. There will be games, drinks, snacks, and, of course, plenty of opportunities to connect. We’re excited to start this new chapter in our club’s history with you. Join us, bring good vibes – and bring your friends along too!

When? Sunday, March 16, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Where? Güterstrasse 48, 3008 Bern. You find the entrance to the new KuL rooms is on the side of the building.
Age Restriction: 14 and up. Our decorations are not childproof – thanks for your understanding!

KuL Quests are here!

We announced some time ago that the Arcanor campaign had ended. Since then, we have been thinking about what to do next.

Events for everyone

It is important to us that the successor to Arcanor is also open to everyone who enjoys playing tabletop role-playing games. Participation should also be free of charge – although we are of course grateful for a contribution to the collection. This is why all sessions in the KuL Quest series will be organised in this way.

More than «just» «Dungeons & Dragons»

Arcanor was a «Dungeons & Dragons« campaign. Of course, the oldest tabletop role-playing game system is also familiar to many people who have had little contact with the hobby. However, KuL Quests are not restricted to a specific set of rules. All GMs who would like to run a session can rent a KuL room free of charge – whether it’s «Dungeons & Dragons», «The Dark Eye», «Shadowrun» or the latest hot cake from the recently launched Kickstarter campaign.

And when is the new KuL campaign coming?

Unlike the previous Arcanor sessions, KuL Quest sessions are not all set in the same universe. However, we are in the process of creating a new campaign – a complete world with its own story and many new adventure possibilities for GMs and players! We are therefore calling on all GMs who would like to help with the development: Get in touch with us on Discord.

Do all KuL Quest sessions have to take place in the new campaign world?

No, they don’t have to. As a GM, you always have the freedom to decide that your session is not part of the campaign. However, sessions that are part of the campaign world will be advertised and marked accordingly. Just like the Arcanor sessions used to be advertised.

How do I offer a KuL Quest? Or take part in one?

You can find all information about KuL Quests on the KuL Quest information page.

Gathering of the KuLists ’25

Last week, 15 KuLists met in the new lounge at Güterstrasse 48 (or online in the Discord) to discuss and vote on the budget, board and planning for 2025. The most important points in brief:

  • The majority of the new Board consists of existing Board members: Alain, Cenk, Mario, Patricia and Tim. Elia is a new member – welcome!
    Merci to the former ones: Manuel and Sybille!
  • Membership fees amount to CHF 60 again this year – invoices have already been sent out (haven’t received any? Please get in touch 🙂 )
  • Due to the expenses for the remodelling of the new premises, we have to suspend the previous discounts for multiple bookings. In other words, the prices for a room booking are again fixed at Chf 40.- (for KuLists) or Chf 60.- for non-members.
  • A new game event vessel will be created, the room hire of which will be sponsored by KuL as long as the events are open to the public. This is intended as a follow-up project to Arcanor and also includes, for example, our Pathfinder Society or System of the Month games. More information will follow.

Thank you so much to everyone who took part and to everyone who supports KuL in other ways! You are awesome!
