Hey folks, my name is Emmet Byrne, I’m Senior Producer at Cubicle 7. It’s been a very busy year here, filled with surprises and challenges, but the team has adapted fantastically well to working from home, Zoom and Hangouts meetings, and getting used to playing games online — thankfully we have both Foundry VTT and Roll20 to help with that now! Once again, we’d like to thank you for all of your support throughout the year.

Today I’d like to give an update across all of our lines, to give everyone an idea of where the books are in the production process. We plan to do this regularly, so keep an eye out for another update in the new year (I’m trying to ignore the fact it's almost 2021!). Until books hit warehouses, all the dates are our working estimates and not cast-iron promises (I’m looking at you, Facebook).

Just a quick note on printing. To increase our print capacity we have recently changed to a new printer. Don’t worry though, the new printer is renowned for their quality so you can

We have been busy adding lots of video content to our Youtube Channel over the last few weeks as part of some recent online conventions!

If you fancy an update on all of our lines, why not check out our UK Games Virtually Expo Panel Seminar here? Join CEO Dom McDowall and producers Emmet Byrne, Pàdraig Murphy and Zak Dale-Clutterbuck as they discuss Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound, Warhammer 40,000 Wrath and Glory, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Ed and much more!

What is Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound? Producer Emmet Byrne explains it all here. There are also some great tutorials from a rules intro, to character creation and encounter building available.

Thinking of getting into Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay? Then our intro video might just help! Or perhaps you would love to to find out more about our WFRP Collectors Editions? Producer Pàdraig Murphy shows them off and explains why the Enemy Within Campaign is so special here.

You will also find videos on Warhammer 40,000 Wrath

Hi All,

I hope you are safe and well! Here in Ireland COVID restrictions have begun to ease, enabling myself and some of the team to work from the office again. There’s a huge amount going on at the moment, but we’ve also been able to keep playing. At the moment, we’re in the last stages of our final playtest of Power Behind the Throne, Volume 3 of the Enemy Within Campaign, and we’re having great fun. It’s a WFRP classic for a reason!   

Not only has my Bounty Hunter made the leap to becoming a much more respectable Duellist, but I am now the personal champion of the Graf of Middenheim himself. Established at court and with a real future ahead of him, my character Felix (not that Felix) has plans. A few investments in city businesses will give me the money for a farm in the countryside. Once I’ve defended the Graf for a few years, I’ll use my influence to gain a more rewarding (and less risky) position — maybe Chancellor? Settle down, raise a family. No more fighting with cultists.

Due to COVID-19 the Cubicle 7 team, like many others, are all working from home - because of this we could no longer run our weekly evening game/playtest in our offices in Ireland. So, we decided it was about time we ran our first fully remote game and share the audio with you all!

We know many of you are looking for a diversion or some escapism at the moment so we'd love if you listened in, the audio runs to about two hours fifteen minutes. Why not let us know what you think over on our social media channels!

So who took part? From top left above we have WFRP Producer Pàdraig Murphy (GM), Graphic Designer Rachael Macken, Editor Chris Walz, Age of Sigmar: Soulbound Producer Emmet Byrne and C7 CEO Dom McDowall. The C7 team were joined by Charlotte Hamilton who you might know from some of the Discord servers that discuss our RPGs such as RatCatchersGuild.

We ran Deadly Dispatch - an upcoming WFRP scenario by C7's TS Luikart.

#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

Throughout 2019 we have been introducing you to key members of our team to share insights from many perspectives on what it is like to work on Cubicle 7's award winning RPGs.

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!

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,
