Cursed Empire is a fantasy role-playing game set in the world of Thargos, created by Chris Loizou. It is now in its second edition, having changed its name from Crimson Empire due to a trademark dispute with Lucasfilm. The game's setting is distinctly dark and is influenced not only by fantasy in the Tolkien/Dungeons and Dragons tradition of role-playing games but also elements from Greek mythology, such as centaurs as an available player character race.
