This is the best newer 40k official art ever and Cubicle7 understands 40k perfectly.
The sheer Weight of It.
The imprisoning effect of the cubicle without even privacy, A constant police presence. THE sheer EXPANSE of Imperial Cruelty and Wasteful Nature.
This was the image that made me want to buy Imperium Maledictum.

Diamariel Wavecutter - High Elf Ambassador, Patron
“She seemed sweet enough but I couldn’t help but feel I was in a pool with a shark.” - Lieutenant Kyalan of the 6th regiment of the Silver Helms
Diamariel Wavecutter
Motivation: See the Asur take responsibility as mediators of allegiance between the mortal races.
Short Term Ambition: Liaise a better trading relationship between Ulthuan and the Empire.
Long Term Ambition: See Ulthuan rise to once again be the supreme global power.
The second eldest daughter to Lord Bel-Haner Wavecutter, Diamariel’s lot in life—one of privilege and prestige—was all but secured upon her birth. The only unseen variable was Diamariel herself. A hidden seadrake among her siblings, Diamariel proved herself ambitious and driven enough to secure herself a place in the court of the Everqueen as both dutiful ambassador and confidant to Allarielle the Radiant. Gifted in both the custom of court and the winds of magic, Diamariel has readily proven that eventually her machinations will, through charming diplomacy or arcane mastery, come to fall in line with her decided outcome.
Background
Diamariel was expected to follow the path of domesticity taken by her mother and eldest sister: find a husband of good standing, raise his children and run a household of her own. It was perfectly ordained to the norms of her people - it was also regretfully boring and the very thought of such an existence made her skin crawl.
Through her guile, wit, and success in study of the arcane arts, Diamariel established herself as not only the rebel of the Wavecutter family, but made a name for herself as an agent and diplomat of the Everqueen Alarielle. She earned the Everqueen’s favor very early in her career, by way of an incident in which the then young Diamariel returned a great stag to the menagerie of Avelorn, from which point she slowly rose to see herself tasked with managing the Queen’s interests and affairs across the Great Ocean in the Empire and beyond.
On these endeavors, the Lady Wavecutter has found herself entangled in circumstances that have each given her a perspective of life outside of Ulthuan that so very few of her kin can boast of. One such expedition into the empire led the Lady to be embroiled in the unraveling of a conspiracy targeting the Supreme Patriarch of the Imperial Colleges of Magic, cementing the alchemists of the Gold College as a valuable personal ally. It was also during this expedition that through less than pleasant means she was first confronted with interpretations of the Asur, and their less than favorable depiction among the zeitgeist of the disenfranchised of Imperial society, as well as a keener understanding of how far behind the times Ulthuan had seemed to be becoming.
The East of her Troubles
One of the things that puts Diamariel in stark contrast with many of her kin is her overwhelming sense of empathy to both elf and man alike. This almost otherworldly emotional intelligence has positives and negatives which have manifested in the Lady’s complete willingness to pause her life in the face of unresolved turmoil. The most debilitating case of this occurred upon a series of burglaries against Asur residents of Altdorf. Upon confronting the thieves, instead of handing them over to the authorities, Diamariel did as she as most who know her would expect her to - engaging them in conversation.
It so happened that these thieves held Brustellite politics, disenfranchised by the systematic poverty experienced in the East End of Altdorf. They attributed the economic inequality to the forced movement of established communities into this slum following the creation of the Colleges of Magic—an act of meddling by the Asur. Whilst she disagreed that the colleges and the Asur were solely the reason for the city’s ever broadening gap between aristocrat and urban poor, she sympathized with their plight, that their suffering was enough that they felt the need to lash out. In an attempt to put to bed at least some of the bad blood between the residents of the East End and help bring more wealth into the area for its residence, Diamariel established the Wavecutter Company Outreach Initiative.
This initiative began as a way to reach out to locals and get them working alongside Asur traders and sailors, picking up skills and trades starting with apprenticeships that would later on develop into employment. While currently in its infancy, she plans to expand the project to have generational impacts, though some, namely her fellow Asur, would regard her as more than a little eccentric for going this far simply due to the plight of some petty thieves with shaky political motivation.
Diamariel as a Patron
Characters serving Lady Diamariel will find their patron a warm and empathetic, but wise and tactful leader. As an accomplished diplomat, characters will find themselves embroiled in political intrigue, and, when the timing calls for it - action and peril. The political landscape of Ulthuan is a spider web of interconnected threads, weaved together to create a turbulent picture, irrespective of its orderly facade. It is a bureaucratic tumult that demands a great mind to fully understand and traverse, only becoming more daunting when outside influence and interests reach out to entangle themselves within it.
Once having achieved the seemingly impossible task of learning to maneuver in this vipers den of princes, nobles, guilds and politicians, characters will find Diamariel both guide and taskmaster in understanding and exploring life within Asursociety. She may charge characters as messengers between lords that she is currently petitioning on behalf of her mistress the Everqueen, bodyguards to nobles who have received threats of violence from rival families (or even Druchii rogues), private investigators into matters of legal intrigue of corrupt politicians, and potentially mercenaries tasked with protecting missions of trade and diplomacy between Ulthuan and the Empire.
In short, the Lady Wavecutter is sure to provide her employees with duties to challenge or intrigue them. That said, she is highly attuned to the emotional and physical wellbeing of those who serve her and will equally look to push her employees into opportunities in which they can better themselves, as well as act as counsel for those who have earned her respect. This of course comes with the understanding that characters have earned her respect, and she is not above having those in her service prove their worth to her before any real investment is made on her part.

History of Licensed Games Part 15b: 2011 to 2012
Over on Age of Ravens, I (@edige23) continue my look at the history of licensed ttrpgs. This 15th part covers the back half of 2011 and 2012 alphabetically. It's a big year kicking off with the launch of three new takes on properties with multiple previous attempts: Star Wars, Marvel Comics, and Lord of the Rings.
It also has some oddities, especially the only Elric game still in print which is a French license. But we also have Mistborn, which iirc is on The Bundle of Holding rn, and Primeval, which was Cubicle7's attempt to get a parallel property to Doctor Who going.
Find that here: History of Licensed Games (Part 15b: 2011 to 2012)

Lake-Town Map by John Hodgson
©2012 Sophisticated Games/Cubicle7 Entertainment Ltd
A big double page spread map for Lake-town Sourcebook for The One Ring rpg: [link]
This shows an idea of what the rebuilt Lake-town might look like. The aim was to give enough info for Loremasters to be able to guide their players through Lake-town, without being too prescriptive about individual streets and so on, which runs the risk of being too dry.
A lot of hours in this one! ArtRage and Photoshop.

WFRP Starter Set and Sirius Dice (rainbow) from #WeekendWarlords in Loughborough. :) I'm not at the #UKGamesExpo (#UKGE) this year, so I've decided it's okay to break my "new games embargo" with a curiosity purchase. It still feels like political statement to buy RPGs in a bricks n mortar store these days. ;) Here's wishing a happy weekend to all those attending the UK Games Expo in Birmingham (UK), whether it be shopping, gaming, cosplaying or selling. :) #ukge2019 #dice #whfrp #wfrp #cubicle7 #nec #ttrpg https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIkH31B30_/?igshid=8od1ies7m1r0

Cubicle7 renewed their licence agreement with GW, and confirmed it will be "long into the future" for their new agreement.
Good.

#licensedRPGs2015
Lone Wolf Adventure Game
I’ve mentioned Lone Wolf a couple of times earlier on these lists– most recently a version from Mongoose Publishing in 2010 which revised some previous material to make the game closer to the CYOA original. It had several releases for it, but then there were a series of shifts regarding the rights and publishing. In 2015 Cubicle7 first indicated they would be publishing all of the Lone Wolf gamebooks, but then changed their mind.
But in 2015 they did release this version of the game in a big box set. That included pre-gen characters, three booklets, tokens & counters, handouts, and a map. Over the next couple of years they supported the line well in both English and Italian. You had a several of adventures, two bestiaries, a GM screen, region book, new character options sourcebook, and many maps. However this line would wrap in 2018. Cubicle7 would hold a clearance sale for physical products in late 2019 and, although there’s a placeholder for it on Drivethrurpg, stop selling electronic editions.
According to a quote on the Cubicle 7 Games Unofficial Forum from late 2018 (h/t to rpggeek) “I was afraid that with the passing of Joe Dever, Cubicle 7 would not be continuing the game after fulfilling the Kickstarter commitments. I asked about this specifically at Gencon and was told that that is indeed what is happening. It seems that they are narrowing their focus to their 4 highest selling games, The One Ring, Adventures in Middle-earth, Doctor Who, and now Warhammer. Other lines will no longer be produced. This is the case for Lone Wolf. It is sad news for me, but understandable.”
Of course shortly after that they would drop the LotR license as well.
