Hello,
It all began when a 12-year-old boy fell into the spellbinding world of role-playing games, fantasy and imaginary worlds... and never left. This all-consuming passion has shaped the imagination of Christopher Loizou, today a company director, role-playing game designer and creator of the dark and fascinating universe of Cursed Empire and the epic setting of Thargos, fantastic and epic worlds.
My Story,
Christopher Loizou, originally from the UK and based in France since 2008, is a role-playing game creator and fantasy enthusiast. From 2003 to 2012, he published 10 independent role-playing books, a graphic novel and a range of collectible miniatures under the Cursed Empire imprint, making his mark on the epic role-playing universe.
His fascination with ancient history and mythology, notably the epic tales of the 300 Spartans and the Battle of Thermopylae, has influenced many of his creations. Inspired by the films Gladiator, 300 and The Lord of the Rings, as well as authors such as Tolkien and Lovecraft, Chris develops dark, immersive universes, blending heroic adventures and epic tales.
His adventure began in Monaco at the age of 12, when he discovered the red box of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). Although he didn't yet speak French, he was captivated by the game and became a Game Master, quickly developing his own systems: Cult Master, F.A.T.E. and finally Cursed Empire, his most accomplished project.
During his studies in Tours, he founded the Stalagmythes association, organizing murder parties, paintball and role-playing events. Encouraged by his friends, he decided to publish Cursed Empire in 2003, an immersive role-playing game combining narrative, miniatures and exploration.
​
After lying dormant since 2012, Cursed Empire is back, ready to plunge new heroes into dark and epic worlds. Join this adventure where every roll of the dice writes a legend.
