Collection of Trigger Warnings for KULT Scenarios

 

In this post, we gather the trigger warnings that apply to many (eventually perhaps all) of the KULT scenarios that are available out there. 

It is intended predominantly as a resource for GMs when contemplating which game of KULT to run next for their group - but could also be consulted by players. Though if you desire to remain spoiler free, do not mark over the blue boxes.



I'll start with a list that user Japicx made over on discord. Slight edits and additions by me.

Let's expand this more!



La Cena
alcoholism, adultery, familial abuse (the entire scenario is about toxic family dynamics) 

Oakwood Heights
mental illness, mass murder, suicide, child endangerment, abusive therapist (one of the pre-made PCs), parental abuse, alcoholism 

The Laraine Estate
masochism, mutilation, sex cult
(this one is rather tame by Kult standards) 

The Island of the Dead
torture, sexual assault (including a sexual assault attempt towards a PC), gore, "cannibal native" tropes, unrelenting violence and death

The Atrocity Exhibition
gore, death and rot
(one of the more surreal scenarios, so the GM has a lot of leeway in what they include or exclude) 

Gallery of Souls
extortion, gore, body horror
(this one is also relatively tame)

It Started And Ended With Screams
bullying, physical and emotional abuse, claustrophobic environments, mental illness, gaslighting, sexual harassment, addiction & substance abuse, corrupt and malicious authority figures, all with regard to underage characters 
(this one is not to be taken lightly. Make sure to have solid safety techniques implemented.)
