Fancy playing a feeble human trying to survive the unrelenting grimdarkness of Warhammer 40,000? Then Imperium Maledictum is for you.

This isn't Cubicle 7's first Warhammer 40,000 TTRPG—it also publishes Wrath & Glory. This more heroic take on the setting has a lighter, more action-packed system that allows you to play the heroes of the setting, such as Space Marines, Inquisitors, and Rogue Traders. If Imperium Maledictum sounds a bit too grim for you, this might be your game.

Wading through these complexities is made more difficult by the book's strange layout of sections. It's 150 pages before you reach the core rules, for example. You're reading about how psychic powers work and what effects different weapons have before you know how a basic roll works. Superiority, a system of bonuses that can be gained in combat, is explained before any of the combat rules they affect.

Wrestling over 350 pages of Warhammer together into a usable book is a tricky task, but Imperium Maledictum does feel notably chaotic even compared to Cubicle 7's other games set in Games Workshop's universes. And with no index, it could be a nightmare finding the rule you want at the table during a tense moment.

Brutal critical hit tables make even just fighting your fellow man a dangerous prospect—it only takes one unlucky roll to lose a limb or even your life. And Emperor forbid a psyker push their powers too far—a psychic power gone wrong can cause a rain of blood, cost you your soul as a daemon takes over your body, or simply make you explode, taking out you and everyone around you. Expendable Fate points let you cheat death a handful of times, but no one's luck lasts forever.
