The other reason I'm a little reluctant to include it is You can trade that Influence to a friend or acquaintance for help, or an Influence of theirs and so on. Say you happen across a Forge Influence, but you only know Grail magic. I'm not sure whether or not I should, though.ДЇrom a functional standpoint subversion exists in the original mostly as a way to counter RNGsus being a bitch sometimes, but in a tabletop game A) you're not at the whim of RNG when it comes to what Influences you find and B) you're going to be playing with others, or at the very least with NPCs, and in those circumstances I was thinking it might be more interesting to have influences be non-fungible, but rather serving as a form of currency between practitioners.

One thing I'm debating adding to the thing is the ability to 'subvert' Influences like in the game - that is, take an Influence of one type and transform it into one of another, in a specific 'cycle' (Moth -> Lantern -> Forge -> Edge -> Winter -> Heart -> Grail -> Moth, and any can be subverted to Knock). On the other hand, it might be easier to just have a lot of closed rites have equivalents in rituals. Regarding ritual sorcerers, I've been considering that, and I do somewhat like the idea that practitioners are natural ritual sorcerers, and can substitute Influences for Pillar points to some extent. I think spirits are pretty compatible with a CultSim game - You'd probably want Lantern to see things in Twilight and Knock to breach the Gauntlet - but in general this isn't really something I'd want to run as a crossover with any of the major gamelines. The dead, if they linger, do so on Earth or pass into the House of the Sun, where they may linger, or pass the White Door to become Voiceless and rest amidst the Orchard of Lights, or make the Ascent of Knives into the service of the Sun-in-Rags.

If you're at all interested, please take a look at the document linked here, and leave comments or posts on the thread.ДЄny вЂofficialвЂ™ stance on how this fits with the wider CofD cosmologies, especially with Ritual Sorcerers and the Astral?So, you could handle it by just adding the Mansus to the existing CofD cosmology, but my personal approach would essentially be to substitute the Mansus for the Astral, and to remove the Underworld. I'm more than happy to discuss it here or in the CultSim Discord, and to field ideas.

The core of the thing is playable, but I need ideas for Merits and rituals to flesh it out more, as well as general second opinions on mechanics. Characters begin as something closest to mortal occultists, but through dedication to the secret Principles of the world, and exploration of the Mansus - sometimes called the House of the Sun - which stands in dreams and perhaps service to the Hours, the secret gods which dwell there, they can become rather more than merely mortal. Now, I know we have more than enough cultists around these parts, but if nothing else Cultist Simulator has a strong atmosphere and thematics to it.

So, due to a complex series of circumstances I ended up basically writing up mechanics for playing a character from the Weather Factory game Cultist Simulator in Chronicles of Darkness.
