Hostile Marketing or How we Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

With their new policies, One Bookshelf opened the doors to woke trolls (or any other troll, really) to just cancel any game product on Drivethru. Guess what? They used the chance and already started bringing stuff down. Sexual Holocaust was “temporarily suspended” from the store to be reviewed by staff because it may be “offensive”. By the way, it was labelled MATURE. “What will I do if DrivethruRPG cancels these nice folks?” Do not fear, you can still purchase ALL our rubbish from here:

We are on Ko-Fi now

After this latest attempt to cancel the Sexual Holocaust scenario I’m definitely not going to trust Drivethru. Yesterday someone complained that scenario had “offensive” content and it was “temporarily suspended to be reviewed by (woke) staff”. The scenario is labelled as having mature content, by the way… Anyway, we’m trying another store: Ko-Fi shop (it does have a store, it’s not just for tips).

Wretched Overviews Wretchploitation and Sexual Holocaust

Posted on by — Leave a comment

Sexual Holocaust – Released

Sexual Holocaust is an exploitation horror scenario designed for the Wretchploitation role-playing game. It should be run like a low-budget horror movie with adult themes treated in an extremely distasteful way. The scenario takes place in a fictional town, Hammettville, located in the surrounding area of a large metropolis – such as New York -, known among its inhabitants as Crime City, and it should be set from the early 1970s to mid-1980s, as those decades are more in line with the kind of horror movie being emulated. As with every other Red Room scenario, this is a sandbox-style adventure with enough information and plot seeds to last from a one-shoot to a small campaign. Sexual Holocaust includes pregens and player handouts, so it can be run without much preparation.

You can purchase it from Lulu: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/401534/Sexual-Holocaust?cPath=41674_42439

or Drivethru: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/401534/Sexual-Holocaust?cPath=41674_42439&fbclid=IwAR3C9lz-xymCmArkWJqEfmgJceEwb5jAqeFfbPcunukDuFpxr-cDJLz35iI

Wretchploitation RELEASED

Wretchploitation expands the Wretched line into exploitation movie territory, already rife with seedy anti-heroes. Whether you like violent action, in the way of blaxploitation, 70s cop movies, Hong-Kong flicks and Eurocrime, or if you would, instead, emulate the horror and gore of cannibal, zombie, Giallo and splatter films, or even if you prefer the sleaziness of sexploitation and nunsploitation, this set of rules has got you covered!

2 Months, 3 Games, 3 Scenarios and 3 Sourcebooks

Is it time for some Wretched self-promo? Sure, why not?

We started publishing through The Red Room about two months ago. In two months only we published 3 games, 3 scenarios and 3 sourcebooks (we didn’t plan the 3-3-3 it was just a coincidence). So here’s our stuff:

Wretched Bastards: play anti-heroes in the dark-fantasy, low-magic world of Antillia in this OSR RPG.

Daughters of Darkness, Sound of Madness and The Seven Bastards: three scenarios by Silvia Clemente, set in the World of Bastards.

Scurvy: explore Husks Key and face the wretched crew of Captain Barbafuchsia.

Furry Bastards: anthropomorphic mutant races for Wretched Bastards.

Deviants & Dirty Deeds: pregens and plot-hooks for Wretched Bastards, by Joe Coombs.

Wretched Country: a western-themed OSR role-playing game, especially adequate for spaghetti western-styled campaign.

Wretched Époque: investigate supernatural, paranormal or mundane mysteries in Paris of the Belle Époque (or just be a wretched villain and be pursued by others).
