Gothic was just updated (to version 1.4). Now it includes new art by Kris Villarosa, some of which you can see in this post. Final Frontier was also updated (to version 1.2) with a few minor rules clarifications. You can download the new files at the Red Room store.
In this MicroRed game player characters are elite ex-soldiers turned mercenaries. They take on dangerous jobs that demand guts and creativity, from storming cartel compounds to slipping through enemy lines to sabotage a weapons cache. The game draws from the spirit of 1980s action shows, especially The A-Team. Soldiers of Fortune uses a slightly modified version of the Grindhouse Red mechanics, so it can be used either as a standalone game or as a soucebook for our previous release.

Grindhouse Red is the MicroRed version of Wretchploitation, one of our earliest Wretched titles. It plunges players into the gritty, blood-soaked underbelly of 1970s exploitation cinema, using MicroRed, a streamlined iteration of the Red rules, an OSR-compatible system by the Red Room. With a cover by Warghoul (Lore Hammer Forge), and interior art (mostly) from public domain, Grindhouse Red is a love letter to the sleazy, blood-soaked world of exploitation cinema—films that thrived on sex, violence, drugs, and every taboo from the 1960s to the 1980s. It’s FREE for those who purchased Wretchploitation from our store and… you can play a LITERAL NAZI! What’s not to love?
Red Room Update
It’s still a while until the end of the year, but it’s now time to announce that starting January 2026, the Red Room will no longer sell directly through our online store. Instead, all sales (digital and PoD) will shift to Luludotcom. Why the switch? Taxes. Income from Lulu counts as royalties, while our store sales face a 23% e-commerce tax. With sales declining and the effort of managing our store mounting, moving to Lulu simplifies things.
Our website will stay largely unchanged. The “buy” button will become a link to each digital product’s page on Lulu’s store. We’ll stop hosting third-party products, but your download section for past purchases and your wishlist will remain active. Subscriptions will continue, though we need to find a new way to share files with subscribers (without the buying option, store codes won’t work). more details to come.
In preparation, we’ve revamping our Lulu storefront. Many Wretched titles now cost less, thanks to standardizing on color printing and 60# white uncoated paper. If you’ve eyed older titles but held off because of price, now’s the time to check them out.
