Maléfices
Maléfices (French: "Evil Acts" or "Hexes") is a French role-playing game created by Michel Gaudo and Guillaume Rohmer. It was published by game company Jeux Descartes from 1985 to 1994 and was the first original French-language horror role-playing game. Although it had well-crafted adventures, it lost market share to Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu, which expanded on the fanbase that Maléfices itself had created. This is ironic because Call of Cthulhu was printed earlier under license by Jeux Descartes as l'Appel de Cthulhu, starting with their translation of Chaosium's Second Edition of the rules in 1984. The core rules have been published in three editions: the 1st in 1985 and 2nd (Revised Edition) in 1988 by Jeux Descartes. The expanded 3rd Edition (288 pages long - triple the size of the earlier volumes) was printed in 2004 by Editions du Club Pythagore. They began work on new material, publishing the adventures Danse Macabre ("The Grim Dance") and La Cornemuse du Vieux Jeremiah ("Old Jeremiah's Bagpipes"), and sold PDFs of the old material. The 3rd Edition was later reprinted in 2007 by Asmodée Éditions. In 2016 Arkhane Asylum Publishing received the rights to Maléfices from Michel Gaudo. In 2018 they were crowdfunded through Ulule to begin work on a new version of the game (comprising a new core book, game screen, and Tarot Deck), with new supporting material to come. They would also reissue compatible versions of the old supplements and adventures. The first reissues are to be Une Étrange Maison de Poupée ("A Strange Doll's House") and Le Drame de la Rue des Récollets ("A Drama on the Street of the Recollects"). A gaming magazine, L’Étoile du Matin ("The Morning Star"), would also be created that would exclusively print articles and material supporting Maléfices.
