SBG Editions Preview New Edition of the Cursed Empire RPG
Body
Indie publisher SBG Editions are preparing to Kickstart the new edition of their Cursed Empire RPG.
It’ been twenty years since SBG Editions released the 2nd edition of Cursed Empire, and now it’s time to let the feisty old veteran enjoy its retirement. To this end, SBG Editions are preparing to unleash the latest iteration.
Described as ‘Epic dark fantasy’, Cursed Empire is set in the fantasy world of Thargos, This unique setting not only benefits from an expansive background and rich lore, but also from its voluminous back catalogue of scenarios, supplement and associated board and card games. All of this imbues Cursed Empire with ‘Epic narrative-driven gaming [and] a rich setting in a war-torn world’.
Material from the second edition of Cursed Empire is compatible with this new edition, and SBG Editions will release a stat block conversion download which will GMs to use nearly 200 NPC in this new edition. Also, the aforementioned and expansive lore / timeline of Thargos remains the same same between the two editions. The completists amongst you will also be pleased to know that limited stocks of 2nd edition material still exist in the US and Europe, so no’s the time to fill those holes in your collection..
Having had the pleasure to write material for SBG Editions in the past, I’m thrilled to learn this new edition is on the horizon. Thargos is a lavish world which now benefits from many years of development; this is evident in the expansive back catalogue of RPG expansions, scenarios, boardgames and card games set in Thargos. There’s also a fabulous range of Cursed Empire miniatures to enjoy, many of which are sculpted by the very talented Dan Kelly from The Lion’s Tower.
This new edition will be powered using the latest iteration of SBG Editions’ own system. There will also be a 5e edition for those Dungeons and Dragons aD&Dicts amongst you..
See the Cursed Empire 3rd Edition Tabletop RPG Kickstarter preview page for more details, and hits ‘Notify me on launch’ to be amongst the first to back this great new RPG.
