Major Update to New Flesh!
Our biopunk/ future noir RPG has received a substantial update. Version 1.4 features an amazing new cover by Ibai Canales, along with new interior artwork, including commissioned pieces by Kris Villarosa and stock art by Dean Spencer. Of the original AI-generated illustrations, only the corporate logos remain. This update also includes corrected typos, expanded rules clarifications, and several optional mechanics, including an Acquisition-to-Currency conversion system. If you purchased the digital edition through the Red Room store, itch, or Luludotcom, you can now download Version 1.4 at no additional cost. Print-on-demand editions will soon be available through Lulu and Amazon. If you have been on the fence about New Flesh, this is the best time to step into Interzone’s streets of chrome, decay, and bioengineered humanity!

Today is the Red Room’s 4th Anniversary
Today is the Red Room’s anniversary, and we would like to thank everyone who has supported us through four years of publishing niche products no one ever asked for! And to those who tried to cancel us, in true Red Room fashion: fuck off. You did not win, we are still here. A reminder as well: until the end of this month, all Wretched digital titles are 40% off on itch.io.
New in print: DARKER updated at Lulu
The updated edition of DARKER (no AI illustrations, new cover by Derek Stevens and a few improvements/ rules clarifications) is now available on paperback at Luludotcom. If you purchase it until next Friday remember to use code EARTHDAY15 for a 15% discount. The proof copy for the hardback version I got from Lulu has an unusually dark background image; the text is still legible but it might be an issue for some readers, so I’ll keep it unlisted for the moment.
DARKER and End of Innocence now on Amazon
DARKER and The End of Innocence are now available from Amazon. It is a funny coincidence that these two became available at the same time. There could not be a more extreme contrast between the brutality of contemporary horror in DARKER and the family-friendly nostalgia of The End of Innocence.
The End of Innocence back in print
The updated version of The End of Innocence is now available in print on demand from Luludotcom. You can get it in paperback or hardcover format.
DARKER updated to 1.2
DARKER, our OSR game of contemporary horror, was just updated. The new version features a new cover by Derek Stevens, new interior art by Warpedplots – which replaced all the AI illustrations – and some new content. Also, some typos were corrected and rules clarifications added. If you purchased it in digital format you can now download the updated 1.2 file from the Red Room site, Lulu or itch. The print on demand version will soon be available on Lulu and (for the first time) Amazon. And to celebrate the update, we’ve also released a new FREE scenario for DARKER,
The Patrolman, by Mark Brooks.
