Red Room Flash Sale: Wretched Country 50% Off

There’s a Wretched Country scenario in the works (the first one to be released), so let’s prepare for that by having a sale for the core book. Until tomorrow the pdf will be 50% off, and the softcover standard colour book will also be at a discount.

PDF: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?discount=932b79169f

PoD: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?discount=9337174f81

And what’s Wretched Country all about?

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.

(In)Sanatorium Released

(In)Sanatorium Released (Drivethru and Big Geek Emporium)

A Lovecraftian scenario for the old-school horror game Wretched Époque, by Silvia Clemente.

Through the small French town of Royat flows a stream of miraculous water. Still, the spring’s history is also connected to ancient ghost stories, and the locals prefer to avoid it just in case. Until the day an eccentric Russian prince is cured of his long ailment and decides to share the water miracle with the world, building a unique avant-garde Sanatorium & Spa Resort.

However, the townspeople were actually right by fearing those ancient tales; something ancient, unnatural and dangerous lurks in the shadows of the sanatorium and the preternatural cure may come with a heavy price. The answer to this mystery is in the water.

Something Wretched This Way Comes – Released

Something Wretched This Way Comes – Released

The Red Room’s Halloween release comes a little ahead of schedule, allowing us to release some more wretchedness until then. You can purchase Something Wretched This Way Comes at
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/411235/Something-Wretched-This-Way-Comes
and Big Geek Emporium: https://biggeekemporium.com/product/something-wretched-this-way-comes/
Print on demand option will come later, for Lulu and Drivehtru.

Something Wretched This Way Comes: As the title so obviously implies, this scenario is heavily inspired by Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked this Way Comes. Just like in Bradbury’s dark fantasy novel, there’s a mysterious travelling troupe arriving in a small town and granting people’s wishes. As in the source material, making the townsfolk’s desires come true is just a ruse for evil beings to feed upon their life force (and maybe a little more than that). Of course, the events will not be the same, the carnival is replaced by a European circus troupe, and this adventure allows the players to take the roles not only of children but also of the adults being tricked into submission or even the evil circus people. Naturally, this being a Red Room release, the adventure couldn’t be as innocent as Bradbury’s tale. That’s why we crossed it over with the horrific and exploitative imagery of sexy fumetti, Italian adult comics of the 1970s/ 1980s.

The Memorial, Now Available on Drivethru and Lulu.com

The Memorial is now available at Drivethru AND Lulu.com (print-on-demand):

https://www.lulu.com/shop/miguel-ribeiro/the-memorial/paperback/product-gmk2gd.html?q=the+memorial&page=1&pageSize=4&fbclid=IwAR2TwiljnVUGcXb6KDqSymxvY-_YCz6zsqt_KZgkQMpQjZOK3Ibv0mb1PHM

This is an OSR horror scenario that takes place in a rundown old hospital, the Ernest Spencer Memorial. This is a surreal institution, populated by bizarre people, and where strange things occur frequently. Part of those occurrences is of supernatural origin, but some of them are illegal experiments and common medical malpractice.

Orpheum Lofts (Wretched Version) Just Released @ Big Geek Emporium

New release: Orpheum Lofts, the Wretched version. For now only on Big Geek Emporium.

Orpheum Lofts is a thriller/ horror role-playing scenario inspired by Dario Argento’s Three Mothers Trilogy [Suspiria (1977), Inferno (1980) and Mother of Tears (2007)], Polanski’s The Tenant (1976) and Rosemary’s Baby (1968), ’80s and ’90s sitcoms, and romantic comedies. Yes, it’s a strange mix, but it will get weirder… As usual in Red Room adventures, there is no predetermined plot, only suggested ones, and no described scenes; instead, there are many story seeds. Though it was planned for a series of connected stories set in the mid-80s, Orpheum Lofts can easily be turned into a one-shot. The timeline isn’t set in stone either.

This book contains the scenario previously published by Postmortem Studios as part of the Postmortem Giallo series and also part of Her Heart was a Locked Room, and Nobody had the Key: A Giallo Series Companion, adapted to old-school mechanics.

The Sisters of the Seven Sins (Wretched Edition) – Released

This horror scenario takes place in a Portuguese convent with a dark history of demonic possession, black magic, and Devil worships that, in the mid-1970s, is occupied by a recently founded unusual religious congregation made up of disgraced women who wish to atone for their past, the Reprobate Sisters of the Seven Sins. Players can take the role of nuns, Vatican authorities sent to investigate reports of demoniacal manifestations, reporters interested in exploring the story behind this atypical catholic sisterhood or even criminals working on a devious plan to restore a sinister painting to the convent where it originally belonged.

In this scenario, you will find a summary description of the fictional Convent of Saint Mary Magdalene, located in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, followed by some information about the country during the late 1970s and various detailed characters. This assumes you will run it in Wretchploitation or other modern horror games. But if you’d rather play it as a Wretched Époque scenario, there are notes for adapting each player and non-player character to the Belle Époque and more plot hooks and details about Lisbon in the late 19th century.

Note: The first version of this scenario was published last year by Postmortem Studios. This one has different rules (OSR mechanics for the Wretched system), more plot hooks, for the Belle Époque, and some player handouts.
