Genecult

Genecult

Genecult is a game being run by Sister Acacia. YOU MUST PLAY THIS GAME OR I WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE TIT.

It is based on Warp Cult, by Frank Trollman (which is in turn based on the Shadowrun system). For the most part, in fact, it IS a game of Warp Cult, just specifically about a Genestealer cult. That's right, all of the PCs are genestealer hybrids, helping society to collapse and setting the groundwork for the great tyranid invasion, allowing the great masters come and OM NOM NOM NOM everything.

Naturally, if the players are successful, the characters all die as they are absorbed into the soup and digested, their genetic material used to make new tyranid creatures. But that's okay, because it's a HUGE SUCCESS and either the game ends there on the happy note of "Everybody dies and is delicious." or it just continues to a new planet, with new characters (even if they inherit the old personalities).

I will update this over time, with descriptions of the cast, and what they've been up to. Ideally I'd like a bunch of players, so that I can just run it regardless of who doesn't turn up. Scenarios will be made so it doesn't matter if Bob and Chuck are here for session A but not B or C, then appear again for session D, and if Lucy only joins in session C and whatever. It helps that the low-level telepathy hive mind synapse shit can allow you all to go "Ping! This is another one of us, we won't eat them."

The basic rules for Warp Cult can be found here: http://tgdmb.com/viewtopic.php?t=49189&start=0 In Genecult, characters must have the "Malignant" negative trait. They may also be mutants and/or psykers, but they may not worship/be marked by Chaos gods, nor may they be Blank.

If you want some kind of mutation/growth/biomorph that isn't already covered, seeing as the rules are a WiP, then just ask. Even if it's a biomorph that genestealers can't usually get. These things are some of the least stable critters out there, so whatever. Likewise, if you really want a pet ripper or larval/pupal trygon or zoanthrope, then ask. Because obviously cute little pets THAT BURROW INTO YOUR NEIGHBOUR'S FLESH AND EAT THEM FROM THE INSIDE OUT are suitable in GrimDark.

Note my shitty art below, showing what a cult might consist of.
