KuL-News September ’25

Once a year we move. This time to Weissensteinstrassse 16, as decided at last Sunday’s general meeting. We will now have three (!) playable rooms there, which will of course be decorated in a fantastic or scifiesque or library style. And all this starting the end of October!

Below is an overview of all the changes; you can find more details in the minutes:

Finances

So that we can afford the new (more expensive) rooms, the following changes were decided:

  • Price for KuL membership increased to 100 from 2026. (If this poses a financial problem, please do not hesitate to get in touch)
  • New room rental fee for KuLists after relocation 50.-
  • New room rental fee for non-KuLists after relocation 70.-

However, we are also dependent on additional support so that we can furnish the rooms in the way we envision. A thousand thanks to all those who have already donated for the new facilities! If you would also like to help make KuL’s new premises possible:

Renovation and moving

The move to Weissensteinstrasse 16 is scheduled for Saturday, October 18. Any helping hands are very welcome! But there is also plenty to do before then: painting, DIY, laying flooring, and much more. To help us coordinate everything, please fill out the following Doodle so we know when we have helpers available.

We need most helpers at the beginning and on the 18th. Please let us know if you can help outside of these dates or at specific times. The times given are approximate. We would also be happy to have your help an hour later!

Code of Conduct

To better represent KuL’s stance on shared play, the Höck has adopted a Code of Conduct. Both GMs and players who use KuL’s rooms can rely on this code.
Thank you for drafting it! If you have any questions or comments, please let us know!

System of the month October: The Skeletons

Years fly by like dead leaves. Everything is darkness. Everything is silence. You stand vigilant before the sarcophagus without thought or breath-such is your compulsion. You do not remember your name and still you watch. The flesh has fallen off your bones and still you watch.

And then one day there is light and motion and you weigh your bearded axe and raise your shield, lusting for the fray, eager to measure your skill against these tomb-robbing children so full of blood. You’ll never be alive again, but in this moment-in the chaos between violation and destruction-you truly live, and you remember what you once were, and you taste the sun.

The Skeletons is meditative structured freeform game for 1-6 players. You’ll need a few hours and a private space.

The Skeletons flips the script on the classic dungeon crawl— here you play not the intruders, but the guardians, cursed to spend all of eternity defending a tomb. As time passes, both the tomb and its guardians will change. Ferocious battles are fought and won, and the skeletons slowly remember who and what they once were. Melancholy, introspective and spanning epochs, The Skeletons is unlike anything you’ve ever played.

KuL News July 2025

Not much has happened in the last two months, but since we’ve only been in the new premises for six months, that’s allowed to happen! Nevertheless, there is some news:

  • The half-year results are looking good! Although our income from drinks and collections/donations was lower than expected, this is more than made up for by the increased use of the space
  • We will soon have new food offerings in the room. Kieran will be selling pastries and Ronja will be offering frozen meals
  • There have also been some changes to the room decor: the fantasy room now has a sword hanging on the wall, the sci-fi room is now better soundproofed and there is a screen and a large fridge in the lounge

Kul – Quests – The Sincere Series

Welcome to “The Sincere Series,” a kul-quest that delves into storytelling beyond lighthearted adventures, exploring deeper themes of life, emotions, and secrets. This series offers four standalone one-shot games, each with its unique narrative but united by their somber and thoughtful tone.

Epitaph: A Life Reflecting Through Moments

Begin at the end in Epitaph, where you play a character who has died. Explore their life through significant moments, reflecting on what made them special. Whether a devoted grandmother or an arrogant wizard, your character’s story is messy, complicated, and beautiful, inviting introspection into their journey.

One Child’s Heart: Building Connections in Crisis

In One Child’s Heart, take on the role of child welfare professionals helping a child navigate crisis. Using innovative mechanics like dice systems and tokens, you’ll build connections through meaningful conversations, mirroring real-life resilience and support. This game highlights the power of empathy and dialogue.

Buried Deep: Gothic Secrets Unveiled

Inspired by gothic literature, Buried Deep reveals family secrets using a card deck to navigate complexities. As a family uncovering hidden truths, you’ll grapple with morally grey characters and long-held secrets, much like in classic tales such as “Crimson Peak” and “Wuthering Heights.”

Fall of Magic: Witnessing the Fade of Enchantment

In Fall of Magic, journey to Umbra where magic is dying alongside the Magus. Explore themes of friendship and travel as you witness the decline of an ancient power, questioning what it means to hold onto fading magic.

KuL News May 2025

There was another Höck in May with lots of interesting topics and discussions – and we don’t want to withhold a summary from you. Finally, as usual, an outlook for the coming weeks.

Information from the Höck

  • We put the finishing touches to the terms and conditions and then post them on the website. All people who book our room must agree to them.
  • If you think something important is missing in our rooms – whether it’s equipment or decoration, for example – please let us know via Discord in the Feedback & Ideas channel. (By the way, replacements for the chairs that are currently in the lounge are already on the wish list).
  • The board games and RPG books are now electronically inventoried.
  • Board games can no longer be borrowed and taken home, but with the lounge we now have a great place to play them. (Unlike RPG books, which can still be taken home, too much can get lost with board games).
  • All Höcks for this year are posted in the Discord events and in the calendar, so that you can transfer the dates to your calendars and nothing stands in the way of your participation.
