Champions of Chaos, a New Warhammer: Age of Sigmar TTRPG, Announced

Cubicle 7 has announced that they are releasing a new Warhammer: Age of Sigmar TTRPG based around playing as members of the forces of Chaos. Quietly announced last month, Warhammer Age of Sigmar Soulbound: Champions of Chaos is a new roleplaying game that uses the core Soulbound rules with some new twists to represent playing as Champions of Chaos. While originally intended as an expansion for Warhammer Age of Sigmar Soulbound (Cubicle 7's existing TTRPG set within Warhammer: Age of Sigmar's Mortal Realms), the game was spun off into a standalone book, largely because the game approaches the cooperative elements of the game differently.

In a recent interview with Wargamer (which is how I learned this new game first existed), Cubicle 7 CEO Dominic McDowall-Thomas explained some of the new mechanics. Soulfire, a resource jointly held by the entire party in the original Soulbound game, is now an individual resource and players can also individually pursue the favor of their respective Chaos God to gain various boons over the course of a campaign.

No firm release date was announced for Champions of Chaos, but Wargamer states its due for release sometime in the next two months.

Slaanesh is all about sensation and the pursuit of perfection, it doesn't need to be about violating people in ways that a lot of people would use an X-Card for.

A glutton who'll do anything for a delicious meal, a warrior who views the battlefield as a way to make an artistic statement, etc.

I'm unfamiliar with the system, but I like the idea enough that I'll probably buy the book.

Ya, Slaaneesh is basically like, overindulgence in EVERYTHING.

I appreciate the time and effort C7 puts into their rpgs - Edge, maybe learn a lesson? -- but C7 has a lot on their plate what with multiple games set in multiple time periods across their rpg settings.

Obsession and Excess is the name of the game.

SO Book of Vile Darkness Warhammer style? Heh, Warhammer is fantastic but in a game where even the 'good' side is splattered in blood and gore I'm not sure how keen I'd be on playing a Champion of Chaos.
