    This document discusses how cult cards are used in a roleplaying game to represent different cult factions and track the characters' relationships with them. When a cult is first encountered, the game master places its card on the table and may add a white or black die to indicate the cult's disposition. White means respect while black means hostility. The die number tracks the degree. Positive relationships provide bonuses while negative relationships impose penalties to social interactions with that cult. Additional cards for other factions will be added in future publications.

    CULT CARDS

    CULT CARDS IN THE GAME


    DEALING
    At the beginning of the career of a group of characters, none of the
    13 cults cards are on the table. Once the characters meet their first
    cult, however, the game master chooses the respective card from
    the deck and puts it in front of the players. If he also puts a white or
    a black die on top of it, something in the relationship between the
    cult and the characters has changed:

    - White die: The group has earned the respect of the cult

    - Black die: Mistrust spreads or turns into open hostility

    - The number on the die shows the degree of respect or hatred.

    RESPECT
    The group earns respect through their deeds: If they save a Chroni-
    cler from a pack of Anabaptists, the game master will turn the white
    die on the Chronicler card up one number, but the characters might
    lose the respect of Cathedral City: The white die on the Anabaptist
    card could be replaced by a black one. This only happens if one of
    the Anabaptists gets away to tell about the treason.
    POSITIVE RESULTS
    The number on a white die has several effects:

    - When dealing with members of this cult, the characters can use
    the number on the die as bonus to social rolls (+D)

    - They can cash in a favor. The game master has to gauge the risk
    for life and reputation of the cultist they turn to: A big favor reduces
    the number of the die by 3, a small one by 1. If the number on the die
    isn’t high enough, the cultist refuses

    - The characters demand payment. They access the arsenal of the


    cult, using the number on the die as Resources value. However, no
    Hellvetic would give a trailblazer to strangers and no Jehammedan
    would allow an Icon to be defiled by infidels. The game master has
    to decide whether the cult will part with cult items and if so, with
    which ones. Things are different if one of the characters belongs to
    this cult and it is obvious that this character will get the cult item.

    NEGATIVE RESULTS
    The black die means trouble:

    - The cult doesn’t trust the characters. Social action rolls against
    cultists get a penalty equaling the number on the die (+ diff.) How-
    ever, this only happens if the characters are recognized:
    PSY+Deception can help disguising your identity

    FACTIONS
    The cult carts are only the beginning. Upcoming publications will
    contain additional cards representing factions or important char-
    acters. Some of them could have a positive or negative disposition
    towards the characters from the beginning.

    DRAW YOUR CULT


    The cards are a quick and dirty possibility to convey a feeling of the
    Cults to new players. To do so, the game master lays out the Cults
    he intends to make available for his adventure or for which he has
    prepared character sheets and gives the players some time to read
    the archetypical quotes on the cards. Then, every player chooses
    the character he likes.
