#MeetTheTeamMonday

This week we want to introduce you to Clara-Marie Morin. Clara-Marie is an incredibly talented artist who's work you may be familiar with from Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. We have also revealed some of Clara-Marie's art for our upcoming Age of Sigmar: Soulbound rulebook, check out the Tree-Revenant Waypiper shown above. Catch up on our recent post about this Sylvaneth Archetype here. 

It all started with a movie, more precisely, a character in a movie that most people may have forgotten. I was young, maybe 6 or 7 years old and fascinated by Darkness, Tim Curry’s character in a movie called Legend. He wasn’t the hero, far from it. I remember when his devilish character awkwardly tried to charm princess Lily during the movie; in one scene he said something that really resonated with me, despite my young age:  

‘All things change lady, the dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity. Dreams are my speciality, by dreams I influence mankind.’

To this day, I can’t entirely

Our team includes producers, editors, artists, graphic designers, sales, marketing, operations and customer service staff as well as many freelancers. Led by CEO Dominic McDowall and Director Elaine Connolly, our team has evolved significantly in the past eighteen months and we hope you continue to follow our journey in 2020! 

‘I am lucky enough to work on some of the best fantasy IPs out there with awesome colleagues. I never in my life thought I would be illustrating the worlds that I became so enamoured with as a child!’

— Dániel Kovács, Cubicle 7 artist

This week we would like to introduce you to Dániel Kovács, one of Cubicle 7’s talented in-house artists and illustrators, as he shares his excitement and passion describing what it’s like to work

Happy Holidays!

We would like to wish you a festive holiday season and offer our best wishes for a wonderful New Year!

We also want to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting us throughout 2019. It really does mean a lot - your feedback, engagement and support is valued by everyone here at Cubicle 7. We are entering a new decade in an exciting position and hope you continue to follow us!

C7 Customer Service over the Holidays

Our team is now taking a well deserved break, this means that cover over the holiday period and New Year will be very limited, particularly until Monday 30th December.

While we will be back with limited cover on December 30th, standard customer service will commence from January 2nd. 

However, as we anticipate a substantial backlog of emails and orders over the holiday period, we would ask you to bear with us during the first week of January as we do our very best to respond to everyone as efficiently as we can.

This week we want to introduce you to Ceíre O' Donoghue, who joined the C7 team a few months ago in our offices in Ireland.

“Vivid imagination” is what my first teacher called it on my report card. I was a devourer of books and animation (including such delights as Dungeons and Dragons, Ulysses 31 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), created playground games for my friends, and lived in amazing worlds in my head. Outside of drama and creative writing classes, the real world was largely a bit too boring for my tastes.  As I got a little older, I didn't see why those things should have to be put aside as adulthood beckoned, and was very happy to discover TTRPGs right at the tail-end of my teens.

I cut my teeth on Rolemaster (go big, or go home!) with a very patient GM who had a very large bag of books.  From there it was on to vampires and werewolves, libraries of books with a distinct lack of vowels in the titles, and chasing things that go bump in the night. I was hooked from day one,

#TeamTuesday

We recently introduced you (briefly!) to Pádraig Murphy, Cubicle 7’s new Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay producer. Today, we wanted to share a little more about Pádraig as part of our Meet the Team series. Pádraig, who hails from Galway in the west of Ireland, is a wargaming and boardgaming fan, but RPGs are his real passion — Warhammer, in particular (surprise, surprise!). With many, many years working in the publishing and print industry, extensive project management and graphic design experience, we are delighted to have Pádraig join our passionate team in County Meath, Ireland. 

I’m delighted to have joined the C7 team. Jumping straight into a project as exciting as the Enemy Within campaign is a real plus! The tremendous response and positive feedback from the community has been a real boon in finalising the print version of Enemy in Shadows. I look forward to getting more feedback on the Enemy in Shadows Companion, which was released in PDF last week. 

As you may be aware,

#TeamTuesday. This week we want to introduce one of our US team members, Chris Walz. Chris is a long time RPG fan and a staff editor for C7!

My love of roleplaying games began around the age of four or five, when I would go down to my older brother’s room and look at the pictures in his books. They had weird floating eye monsters, knights, sorceresses, and horned devils — I was hooked. I was lucky enough for him to bring me into his games as I grew up and ate up every piece of roleplaying content I could find, from actual gamebooks to video games and novels.

When it came time for university, I really had no idea what I wanted to do that would be ‘useful’, so I picked something I thought would be fun. Perhaps needless to say, but a degree in Classics and a keen interest in Cicero and Marcus Aurelius isn’t the most obviously marketable skillset. What this did give me, however, was a deep love for language and how people express themselves with words, no matter which language they might use.

#TeamTuesday. This week we want to introduce you to Walt Ciechanowski, Walt is a big Doctor Who and RPG fan who started working with C7 back in our Victoriana days, and if you have ever GM-ed or took part in our demos at US conventions you may of met Walt there!

Howdy!

I’ve been roleplaying since the tender age of almost-10, when I accidentally bought a Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set thinking it was an electronic game (that’s a boardgame with electronic bits for you millennials!). It took a few months to really “get it,” but I was hooked and from that point on most of my trips to the mall were spent in bookstores and hobby stores looking for the next great RPG to play with my friends!

My involvement with Cubicle 7 began just after I’d started writing professionally. I loved the first edition of Victoriana and got a writing gig (okay, begged incessantly until they said yes!) for the second edition. I soon found myself as line editor and helped guide Victoriana through its third edition.
