Imperium Maledictum

Imperium Maledictum is the newest Warhammer 40,000 Roleplaying game created by Cubicle 7.

While it was only just announced during Gencon 2022, people have plenty of hope for it. It also has had some question how it's older half-sibling Wrath and Glory has been faring, considering its rather stark content drip when compared to both WFRP and Age of Sigmar Roleplay's more robust lists of content.

So far, all that we know is that it's going back to the classic d% system started by Dark Heresy (and they do mention it...but only that it was started by Black Industries and skipping over the overall ownership that Fantasy Flight Games held for the near-decade since that first book) and their own work on Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition. For the most part this game seems to be channeling the same feel of DH, an investigation-centric game with the players acting as lackeys for some higher power in the Imperium, though not always the Inquisition.

Setting

Rather than making up their own sector as was done with the previous 40k-based RP games, this one's taking place in the Macharian Sector - that's right, a canon setting.
