Wretched Space - Second Edition

Wretched Space – Second Edition

12,00 €

In the sordid underbelly of the galaxy, only the crafty and callous survive. Wretched Space is an old-school RPG where you don’t play as heroes on a noble crusade, but rather as roguish anti-heroes just looking to get by in a harsh universe. You aren’t out to save the world – you’re out to save your own skin. And maybe make some credits along the way if opportunity knocks. This game revels in greyness of morality, where doing the right thing takes a backseat to doing what needs to be done. Idealism is a luxury you can’t afford out here.

This book contains a setting, the space opera version of the Wretchedverse, and plenty of ideas for you to come up with new worlds. To be true to the Wretched spirit, the default setting casts the players as members of the Wretched Legion, a special corps of the Galactic Federation law enforcement made up of pardoned criminals given an old, battered starship and second-rate weaponry, and deployed to enforce the law on backwater worlds. If this prospect doesn’t appeal to you, there’s a whole universe of wretchedness out there… (492 pages).

Note: Wretched Space – Second Edition is a setting, not a standalone game, but you can get the pdf for Wretched Role-Playing Game core book for free.

Description

Wretched RPG is a free, OSR-compatible core system that brings an emphasis on gritty, anti-heroic adventures inspired by cult movie genres. Designed to be played with its own simple rules or adapted to any d20-based system, Wretched settings like Wretched Bastards, Wretched Darkness, and Wretched Country offer dark fantasy, urban horror, and spaghetti western experiences. Other settings, like Wretched Époque, take you into the grim streets of 19th-century Paris, while Wretched New Flesh plunges players into a dystopian cyberpunk future. For space-faring horror and action, Wretched Space and Orbital Decay provide high-stakes sci-fi drama, while Wretched Apocalypse explores post-apocalyptic survival. From the superhero grit of Wretched Vigilantes to the supernatural mysteries of Wretched Interbellum, each game offers a unique world, rich with dark intrigue and moral ambiguity. The game prioritizes fast, easy-to-run settings that are perfect for one-shots at conventions, game stores, or your home table. With a focus on the morally ambiguous and a nod to 1970s and 1980s cinema and low-budget charm, Wretched invites players to embrace its “Spaghettipunk” style for short but unforgettable gaming sessions.
