Threat Assessment: Xenos contains new alien threats like Orks and hybrids of the Genestealer Cults and to challenge Agents of any Tier. It also explores the enigmatic T’au, the voracious Kroot, and the slowly stirring Necrons. Imperium Maledictum uses a familiar but refined d100 system to draw PCs into tales of intrigue, betrayal, and conspiracy in the glorious Macharian Sector. The sector is rife with peril and treachery and is forged in blood and fire from the thousand worlds conquered by Lord Solar Macharius. PCs are Imperial adepts and citizens recruited by a powerful Patron and used outside the usual chain of command to undertake grim and perilous missions. To succeed, PCs must weave their way through the complicated web of competing factions that make up the Imperium. The Imperium Maledictum: Collector's Edition is crafted with a luxurious black faux leather cover, emblazoned with a striking gold and silver foiled icon that pays tribute to the legendary Lord Solar Macharius and is housed in a magnetically sealed box. The debossed starfield adds a subtle touch to the design while the book itself includes gleaming gold gilt edges.

Kitty Noir | Magical Kitties Game Master Kit by Atlas Games
- SYSTEM: Magical Kitties Save the Day!
- PRODUCT TYPE: softcover supplement/GM screen and extras
- RETAIL PRICE: $14.95/$19.99
- DESCRIPTION: In Kitty Noir, PC kitties explore Sunset City, where there's always something fishy going on whether it’s the robbery of a priceless work of art or an unexplained case of amnesia. The PC kitties formed the Cat Eyes Detective Agency because sometimes it takes magic to uncover what’s really going on in this town which seems stuck in time. It takes its inspiration from classic film noir and crime movies from the 1930s to 1950s and from Golden Age science fiction stories of time travel and includes GM advice for running Noir. Includes a full-sized poster map of Sunset City. The Magical Kitties Game Master Kit has a GM screen that is purrfectly proportioned with three horizontal panels each measuring 6x9 inches. That's smaller than other screens to make it easy for kid-GMs to see the other players. Wrapped inside the screen is a 12x18 inches Kitty Colors Poster designed to help indecisive players choose their favorite kitty. Plus a copy of Our Hometown Workbook (also included in the Series Workbook Pack) to record a hometown map, locations, supporting cast, foes, disasters, and adventures.
