About the adventure
You are sitting in the subway late at night. The subway car is less than half full. In the flickering light the three men sitting opposite you seem vaguely familiar. They eye you and each other in the same way, as if they were trying to recall where this feeling of familiarity was coming from. You freeze up and feel ill at ease. Something terrible is going to happen... This adventure will be played over 2-4 sessions, about 3-4 hours each. If you're a fan of twisted horror games then this is for you! Set in the early 1990's This adventure revolves around mysterious events that leads to the Vatican and a Dark Messiah. Seals are broken and the you become more and more powerful but who are you? And what is your destiny? CONTENT WARNING!!!! Kult usually deals with very mature themes and this adventure is no different. There will be many references to (and scenes of) violence. There are also references to Mental illness, suicide, murder,drug addiction, and sexuality. Many of these items will be veiled and only referenced in the game rather than be part of a scene the players play out. If you have any concerns PM me.

Creating your character
The players will choose between a set a pre-made characters prior to the start of the session. I'll go over the premise of the game and give a short description of each character. The players will then decide among themselves who should play who. Once you have chosen a character you will get the full character sheet along with a secret background and motivations.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
No foundry account is needed. I'll just send players a link that opens the game in a web browser. We will use discord for audio. I will send out the discord link to player's once they have joined the game.
