Translations of non-English games

A flagship project was the English edition of Qin: The Warring States, originally released in French in 2005 and set during ancient China's (475–221 BCE). The translation included a detailed historical and cultural overview of the era's seven states, factions, and philosophies, adapting elements like philosophical schools and warfare tactics into a d10-based system suitable for Western players familiar with narrative-driven RPGs.

Publishing partnerships and licenses

Cubicle 7 has established several key publishing partnerships with other independent creators and companies to expand its portfolio of role-playing games. One notable collaboration is with Arc Dream Publishing, which handles the distribution of Arc Dream's Delta Green line in Europe, facilitating broader access to Lovecraftian horror-themed RPGs. Similarly, Cubicle 7 partnered with Cakebread & Walton to publish their Victorian-era historical fantasy games, including editions of Victoriana, before Cakebread & Walton transitioned to self-publishing in 2013. These alliances have allowed Cubicle 7 to diversify its offerings by integrating external designs into its Vortex System or supporting complementary titles. In terms of intellectual property licenses, Cubicle 7 maintains ongoing agreements with major licensors for high-profile franchises.

Rocket Age, a pulp sci-fi RPG using the Vortex System, wrapped up its run with Cubicle 7 around 2017, after which creator Ken Spencer reacquired the rights for independent updates. Co-publishing deals have also featured prominently, particularly in acquiring and revitalizing established lines. For Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay's fourth edition, Cubicle 7 took over development from Fantasy Flight Games under Games Workshop's license, incorporating elements from prior editions while introducing streamlined mechanics and new content to revive the grimdark fantasy RPG.
