Congratulations to Cubicle 7! Last year, Tales of the RED: Street Stories topped the sci-fi charts and Cubicle 7’s Doctors and Daleks 5e: Player’s Guide stole in with a 20th-place listing. In 2023, the Warhammer 40K RPG Imperium Maledictum Core Rulebook tops the chart.
Imperium Maledictum uses a familiar but refined d100 system to draw players into tales of intrigue, betrayal, and conspiracy. Players take on the role of Imperial adepts and citizens recruited by a powerful Patron. These influential figures use teams outside the usual chain of command to undertake grim and perilous missions, furthering their often inscrutable interests. To succeed, players must weave their way through the complicated web of competing factions that make up the Imperium. They must navigate a realm where a whispered accusation can be as deadly as any bolter, plumbing the depths of the most lethal hives and navigating the often far more insidious threats that grace the courts of the highborn.
Imperium Maledictum is set in the Macharian Sector and was published in March.
