Imperium Maledictum

Welcome to The Macharian Sector

Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Imperium Maledictum is a d100 based system for roleplaying in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, and incorporates all of the best parts of previous Warhammer 40,000 d100 roleplaying games, as well as Cubicle 7’s own award-winning Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition. 

Players take on the role of citizens of the Imperium in service to a powerful patron, with games focused on investigation and social encounters rather than combat. The Imperium is a deadly place, and the players must tread carefully if they hope to survive. Your service to your patron allows you to move through Imperial society where others can’t. The Influence you and your patron have with the many factions of the Imperium will determine how your investigations proceed, where you can go, and what resources you have access to.

The System

Imperium Maledictum is a d100 based system that allows for deep and rewarding roleplaying and investigation. Skill Tests are quick and straightforward, with an intuitive percentile system that not only tells you whether you succeed or fail, but also how well you succeed (or how gravely you fail!). 

Resorting to violence in Imperium Maledictum can lead to grievous injuries and violent dismemberment, so characters must be prepared and think carefully before drawing their weapons. The unique Superiority system allows characters to prepare for conflict by scouting out their enemies location, learning what weapons they have access to, or even incapacitating an enemy leader. Combat is deadly for the unwary, but with proper preparations it can come to a swift and violent end — without having to spend hours rolling dice to resolve a minor encounter!

However, the characters' investigations can be just as deadly as combat. They must navigate the innumerable factions, alliances, rivalries, and enmities within the Macharian Sector if they hope to survive. Imperium Maledictum uses Influence to represent and track the network of alliances and enemies you and your patron have throughout the sector. Your personal standing and your patron’s Influence can open doors for you or close them just as swiftly. How and when you choose to wield your power will greatly impact your patron’s opinion of you and standing in the Macharian Sector — and may have deadly consequences if used unwisely.
