Cultists in the Dark

Go back to Blades in the Dark

Acolytes of a forgotten god
You heard the secret voice calling in the darkness. You obeyed. You are its instrument—and the world shall bow before its glory, or burn.

When you play a Cult, you earn xp when you advance the agenda of your deity or embody its precepts in action. Instead of hunting grounds, you have sacred sites that you use for your operations.
