Playbooks for All the Official K:DL Archetypes


Hi Kids, it's me - The Abomination.


Oh come on, don't act like that... I know you recognize me from when we met before!

That's much better. Today I bring you glad tidings. I want you to meet a couple good friends of mine.

Like this young lady:


Aaah. Nothing like a good, long, loving hug to soothe those frayed nerves, eh?

But there are more. So many more.

I know you've seen them before... But trust me, you ain't never seen them like this. 


No, not even him. He gets worse all the time. But there may yet be some hope left for him... or may there?
Fucked if I know, truth be told.

But today, even he is elated. He feels as presentable as never before, in fact.

Because he got a new playbook. They all got new playbooks!

You see, the Archetypes in Kult: Divinity Lost are essentially PbtA playbooks, right? But they never got the "true" playbook treatment by the authors of the new edition. They're just not presented in that format in the book. There is the Archetype Bundle, a separately sold product which comes close, but there were certain entities beyond the Veil who felt that, well, not quite close enough...

Long story short, this miscondition has now been rectified, in the name of my Mistress Malkuth. 
Soon May She Reveal To Us More Of Her Truths Splendid and Fearsome.

Ahem. Let me see... ah yes, I'm sure my next friend here has got a link for you:


Try this one:

You can find them all there, at your beck and call to Tear Back the Illusion, Reveal the True Reality Beyond, and Play to Find Out What Impact Your Characters Might Make on the World.

They were made by Vinicus Lessa, who also goes by Lessavini or Vini Lessa in various places. He's a cool guy, smooth and talented, much like this next fellow down here:


And just like him, he don't be doin' no half jobs!

He made them so that you can print them single-sided on four pages, or double-sided on two sheets of paper, and fold them up in that cool way that playbooks are supposed to be folded. It gives the players all they need to insta-make a character, and remains useful during play for making notes, tracking advancement, harm, Stability, etc.

The Kult - Elysium Discord community of course wouldn't pass up the chance to help him out (read: torment him exquisitely) by giving advice, opinions, and feedback. And we even came up with some suggested starting gear: flavorful items, trademark tools, and backstory-evoking trinkets that characters can have, or that can serve as inspiration for players to come up with their own. 

They're also rather printer friendly, except for those little bits of red... and the big pic on the first page of course. You could print just the first page in black and white, and the rest in colour - or just do all of them in b/w, they'll still work perfectly well for all your gaming needs. 

Helmgast themselves even endorsed this final product, and welcomed its existence by sharing it on their social media, which was a great source of joy to us! 

So go ahead, grab 'em all, bring 'em to your next Session 0... and go mess with the Dark Powers!

If you need any help in getting ready for that, I'm sure
my friend here can help you catch up on your basics.
