System of the Month February: Knave 2e

In February, we enter the domain of the Old School Renaissance, or OSR for short. A game style that is based on the early days of Dungeons and Dragons. We’re playing Knave 2e, a very lean rules system that gives GMs and players maximum freedom in how to approach and resolve situations in the game.

The adventure “The Waking of Willowby Hall” by Knave creator Ben Milton offers us an awakening manor, the church bell-wielding and very angry giant Bonebreaker Tom and the goose Mildred, who supposedly lays golden eggs.

The characters will be rolled up together at the beginning. The game can be played in English or German and can accommodate up to 5 players.

I’m in!

Great! Then register via info@kul-verein.ch and mention your language preferences.

Signups until now: 4/5 – almost full!

KuL celebrates its first anniversary

Katakomben & Lindwürmer celebrates its first anniversary! A lot has happened in the first year – a number of event series have been successfully established (Arcanor, Master’s Talk, System of the Month) or scrapped (Fight Club).

And the game room, the heart of our association, has also undergone a major transformation. From an office space without furnishings, to a number of craft projects to decorate it, to the move to the new premises of Chaos Dice Club.

To celebrate this occasion and the collaboration with CDC, we invite you to an open day on Saturday, February 3, 2024 from 3:00 pm, just a few days after our general meeting. Take a look at what the two rooms have to offer, browse through the various stations on actively played events and rulebooks and chat with us over free drinks, snacks and cake!

There will also be a pub quiz from 5:00 pm. The whole thing lasts as long as we feel like it. You don’t need to register – just come along and raise a glass with us. We look forward to seeing you and thank you for a successful first year!

KuL-News November

Last Thursday’s meeting was short, but after all, we only recently had a general meeting. Above all, we were informed about the various working groups (lighting, sound and decoration). A detailed report on this will follow in the next few days.

What continues to run, of course, are…

Events!
