We're just over a week out from the launch of the Cult Crafter campaign! Wild!
I wanted to share a bit more about the lore of Cult Crafter, as well as introduce some of the cards I've got designed for you.
The game is set in the world of the Order of the Dark Wheel, a demon-worshipping cult that believes if they can summon the Seven Who Feed - the seven ruling gods of the Abyssal Void, then a prophecy will be fulfilled and all life in the universe will be extinguished.
So there are seven demonic aspects in the game that I introduced you to in a previous poll/update: Bone, Blood, Darkness, Flesh, Madness, Pain, and Rot.
Each of the seven demonic aspects will act in the game like a suit in traditional card games (or think of it like color in Magic: the Gathering or type in Pokemon). Not only will every cultist have an aspect (or two) that they are most drawn to, but also every god has an aspect that they'll buff and two aspects that they'll penalize you for worshipping.
A single-aspect god.
The single-aspect gods are the fabled Seven Who Feed, but given that demons don't all speak our language, and ancient texts are subject to interpretation, there are also seven incredibly powerful entities that the some branches of the cult believe to be gods. These gods have two aspects they buff, but three aspects that will cause penalties. The level of buff is also smaller for these gods to make up for their versatility, and their penalties are also higher, forcing a stricter, yet wider playstyle.
A dual-aspect god.
At the beginning of the game, every player will have a single god from the god deck, but they'll have to choose to either build around that god, or use a draw action to pull a new, random god that may or may not be even more aligned with the cult you're building.
So the latest poll I've dropped is an introduction to all of the Seven Who Feed - the true gods of the Order of the Dark Wheel.
Let me know what your favorite is - this poll will influence which card illustrations makes it into the postcard set that will exist as an add-on to the base game. This postcard set will also make up the pool from which I'm selecting a postcard to send to all backers if we can get the follower count for the campaign over 200 before the launch date (so click that follow button if you're interested!)
Thanks again, and stay tuned for a poll between all the dual aspect gods!
