Hi everyone!

I'm a Game Master currently preparing a KULT: Divinity Lost tabletop RPG campaign, and the story revolves heavily around art. I'm hoping some of you might be able to point me toward painters whose work fits the atmosphere I'm looking for.

In the scenario, the players are searching for a deeply tormented artist whose portraits are profoundly unsettling. The adventure describes him like this:

>

I'm looking for painters (rather than digital artists) whose portraits feel psychologically disturbing, uncanny, or as though they reveal the true nature of the person beneath their outward appearance.

So far, people have recommended George Tooker and Zdzisław Beksiński, and I absolutely love both. Their work captures part of the atmosphere I'm after, but I wanted to ask here in case there are other artists—well-known or obscure—that I might have overlooked.

Since this is for a tabletop RPG, I'm trying to build the most immersive visual experience possible for my players, so I'd love to discover artists that aren't immediately obvious.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Hi everyone!

First of all, I just wanted to thank everyone in this subreddit for all the amazing advice I received before running my first KULT: Divinity Lost (4th Edition) session. It helped me a lot, and my players had a fantastic time.

My group decided to play a gang of bikers who are being hunted by the Mafia. By the end of our first scenario, they managed to escape the Mafia's grasp... at least for a while.

I've been looking at published scenarios for what to run next, and The Gallery of Souls seems like it could fit really well. The only difference is that I would keep my players' existing characters instead of using the pregenerated characters/NPCs from the original scenario.

For those of you who have run The Gallery of Souls, do you have any advice or things you wish you had known beforehand?

I'm also a bit unsure about the ending. The ritual, in particular, feels a little vague to me. How did you handle that part? How did it play out at your table?

Finally, has anyone continued the story afterward as part of a longer campaign? Did your player goes for full vengeance against the mob or working for them?

I'm grateful for any ideas, tips, or experiences you're willing to share. I'm sure I'll have plenty more questions in the future, but once again, thank you all—you've already been an incredible help!

Hello,

Today I subscribed to Game Pass so I could play Fable II again, one of the games from my childhood.

Unfortunately, I've run into a small problem. I'm a French speaker, and to fully enjoy the experience I'd like to play the game in French. However, there doesn't seem to be any option to select French in the game's language settings, even though the game's store page says that French is supported.

Could someone help me figure out how to play the game in French?

Bonjour tout le monde, nous rénovons notre maison avec ma compagne et on pété pas mal de murs remplis de chaux et donc blindés de poussière, on aimerait investir dans un bon aspirateur de chantier car le nôtre (un Karcher) vient de mourir des tips?

Salut !

Je viens vers vous parce que je rencontre quelques soucis de voisinage et j’aimerais avoir vos avis ou retours d’expérience.

Nous avons récemment acheté une maison dans laquelle nous habitons désormais. Comme elle nécessite une rénovation importante, nous devons refaire complètement l’installation électrique ainsi que réaliser des travaux d’isolation. Il s’agit d’une maison 3 façades.

Avant même notre emménagement, plusieurs personnes — dont les anciens propriétaires et certains voisins du quartier — nous avaient mis en garde concernant nos voisins directs, avec qui nous partageons le mur mitoyen.

Jusqu’ici, tout se passait pourtant très bien. Les tensions ont commencé lorsque nous avons entamé les travaux d’électricité. Comme vous pouvez l’imaginer, cela implique parfois de faire des saignées dans les murs et donc un peu de bruit. Je réalise ces travaux avec des amis qui me donnent un coup de main, généralement une seule fois par semaine, et nous terminons habituellement entre 19h et 20h.

Depuis quelque temps, les voisins viennent régulièrement se plaindre et nous menacent d’appeler la police. Ils affirment également être proches du bourgmestre et tout les flics de la ville (mais encore 🤥) et ils laissent entendre que cela pourrait jouer en leur faveur. De notre côté, nous avons vérifié le règlement communal : les travaux sont autorisés jusqu’à 22h, nous sommes donc largement dans les horaires prévus.

Nous faisons pourtant attention à limiter les nuisances au maximum, et le chantier avance à un rythme plutôt tranquille (on travaille une à deux fois par semaine après le boulot).

J’avoue commencer à trouver la situation pesante. Est-ce que certains d’entre vous ont déjà vécu quelque chose de similaire ? Comment avez-vous géré ce genre de conflit de voisinage ? Tous vos conseils sont les bienvenus.

Merci d’avance !
