Vice: Sandcove Under Fire has been updated

Originally released as a setting for Wretched, Vice is now a standalone role-playing game with its own rules based on Red. Sandcove is still the same crooked coastal city. Play a vice detective under pressure to close a case, a criminal after his next score, or a civilian who knows more than he should. Already own Vice? The update is free. If you bought the previous edition from the Red Room or itch, you can download the updated file from your downloads library. For now it’s only available in digital format, but soon it will be released in print-on-demand at Lulu and Amazon.

Armageddon updated

Armageddon cover

Armageddon, the standalone version of Wretched Armageddon is now available in digital format. It will soon be available in print-on-demand from Lulu and Amazon.

Armageddon is a role-playing game of occult warfare, conspiracy, and survival set during World War II and the supernatural catastrophe that follows it. History proceeds much as we know it on the surface, but another war is being fought behind the conventional one. Both the Axis and the Allies have discovered that magic, psychic abilities, and supernatural entities are real, and each side is willing to use them to gain an advantage.

If you previously purchased Wreteched Armageddon from our store or itch you will find the new version on your downloads section. If you haven’t, check it out now:

Updated Digital Files

Work on the Red Room character generators brought a few minor errors in character creation to light in the Red core book, DARKER and Belle Époque. For example, Some Lifepath results granted Law as though it were a standalone skill rather than a specialization of Knowledge. In Belle Époque, the same Perk appeared under two names: Mystic Insight and Mystic Sense. The digital files have been corrected. Updated versions are available in the Downloads section of the Red Room website and on itch.io (Red RPG 1.2, DARKER 1.3, Belle Époque 1.2). If you purchased any of the books in print, get in touch and we’ll provide a free digital copy with the corrections. You can also try the character generators and let us know if you spot any problems:

Wretched is moving to Precis Intermedia

As of today, the Wretched line is no longer available through the Red Room. Most of the titles, including the two core books and most of the Wretched settings, will become part of the Precis Intermedia catalog. The books will return after Brett Bernstein has updated them, so they will not be available from Precis immediately.

Why this decision? The Wretched books needed updates, which we had already planned and begun. Wretched and Expanded Wretched had already been revised, and work on Wretched Space was close to complete. But the whole line would require considerable time and an investment in commissioned artwork to replace the original AI illustrations. We have been unable to expand our audience enough to justify that expense through the few additional sales we could expect. And the work on new Red titles must continue and takes precedence.

The move to Precis Intermedia will introduce the games to a new audience and give the project a better chance of success.

If you purchased these titles through the former Red Room store or itch, you will still have access to your files through your account’s downloads section.

There are a few exceptions. Wretched Armageddon and Vice: Sandcove Under Fire will remain with the Red Room, as we are currently converting them from Wretched settings into standalone Red games. The existing Wretched scenarios will also stay with us and will eventually receive Red stats.

Many of our other products will continue to include Wretched stats. The connection between the Red Room and Wretched will continue, and we will promote the forthcoming Wretched releases from Precis Intermedia.

The following titles will move to Precis:

Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H.

Days of Lead

Expanded Wretched

Mirage Hills Chronicles

Voidhaven Outpost

Wretched Apocalypse

Wretched Bastards

Wretched Conspiracies

Wretched Country

Wretched Darkness

Wretched Époque

Wretched Interbellum

Wretched Justice

Wretched New Flesh

Wretched Noir

Wretched Role-Playing Game

Wretched Space

Wretchploitation

Thank you to everyone who has supported Wretched. We look forward to its next chapter at Precis Intermedia!
