The updated DARKER is now live at the Red Room store. Mark Brooks aka OSRDwarf, added substantial new content – enough to earn a co-authorship credit – alongside an introductory comic by Kris Villarose, minor rules tweaks, and fresh AI-generated illustrations. If you bought it from our store, grab the updated digital version now. For those with a Lulu print-on-demand copy, the core rules remain unchanged, but contact us for a free digital copy to access the enhanced content. The hardcover and paperback versions at Luludotcom will soon be updated too.

We’ve launched the new MicroRed games, and to mark the occasion, the Red core book is now free. The MicroRed games include a concise rule summary, so you likely won’t need the full book—but it’s there if you want it. Also, Red just hit version 1.4 with a few updates. Go grab it!

Today is the the day: the Red Room turns three! Thanks for your support (and thanks for your hate too, sometimes I believe we’re doing this just out of spite!). A reminder that until the end of the month we’re having a 30% discount. Use the code redroom3 at checkout on our site to claim it. GO BUY STUFF!

Belle Époque, a streamlined take on Wretched Époque—stripping out the Wretched factions and the Beyond—hits next. It uses MicroRed, a distilled version of Red rules. MicroRed books aim for 100 pages, but this one will be slightly over it, packed with public domain art from the era. If AI art bothers you but you’re reasonable enough not to hate us for it, rest easy: this book sticks to public domain and stock images. Free for anyone who bought Wretched Époque Second Edition.

Our next project it to re-release some of the Wretched settings using a streamlined version of the Red rules, dubbed MicroRed, paired with condensed adaptations of the original settings. Each book will target around 100 pages, illustrated exclusively with stock art and public domain images (no virtue signalling here—AI art will still be used for our larger Red and Wretched titles, but these compact volumes need less fillers, allowing us to skip on AI). These new titles will be free downloads for those who purchased the original Wretched settings.
