Some More Details About Wretched Époque in Today’s video
The next release for the Wretched line is Wretched Époque. It takes place in the period known as the Belle Époque, which is dated between 1871 and 1914, ending when World War I started. This is the time and the fictional place where Umberto Eco’s Simone Simonini – the most cynical and disagreeable character in the History of literature, as the author meant him to be – crosses paths with Jacques Tardi’s Adèle Blanc-Sec, Edgar Allan Poe’s Chevalier Auguste Dupin and Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin, amidst anarchist bombings, the echoes of the Dreyfus affair, the catastrophic side effects of secret societies conspiring in the shadows and the mysterious results of experiences conducted by mad geniuses.
The Sound of Madness, by Silvia Clemente, is a new scenario for Wretched Bastards: Once again, the orc tribes have come down from the mountains south of the Andril river and raided the region’s farms. This happens frequently, but this time it is different. The orcs are now more savage and brutal and seem to be driven by the single purpose of killing the people of Andril.

Millennia ago, Adityans ruled Antillia. They were an advanced space-faring civilization that used this world for their genetic experiments. Through those genetic engineering projects, the Human race was born. But they also designed other creatures, mixing human and animal DNA. That’s how the Furry Bastards came to be.

WRETCHED COUNTRY – NOW AVAILABLE ON DRIVETHRURPG
Wretched Country does for the western genre what Wretched Bastards did for fantasy: it’s an old-school game meant for playing anti-hero characters. The spaghetti western, already referenced as a source of inspiration for the OSR dark-fantasy Wretched Bastards, now takes centre stage. In this book you will find:
• Wretched rules adapted for playing a western game.
• The Devil’s Country, a western-themed horror scenario about an international film crew travelling to Spain to shoot a movie believed to be cursed.
• Hellstone, a setting that can be used to run spaghetti, classic or weird west adventures.
