One of our earliest releases, The Goat Lady (a scenario for Wrertched Bastards), has undergone a much-needed revision. This is the beginning of a series of revised editions for our Wretched books. If you’ve already purchased The Goat Lady, the updated version (1.2) is now available for download. For those who haven’t yet explored this title, now is the perfect time to dive in.
Slightly delayed, here’s Silvia Clemente‘s Halloween scenario, The Hallow Man. Now available at the Red Room store.
The Hollow Man is a horror scenario for Darker, which can be easily adapted to Wretched Darkness or any other OSR game (or a non-OSR game with a little more work).
The abandoned Hallowview Hotel looms like a decaying giant on the edge of the city, its crumbling halls surrounded by urban myths. Decades ago, the hotel was abruptly closed after a series of unexplained disappearances, leaving behind rumours of occult rituals, ghostly figures, and a sinister entity known as The Hallow Man. Built atop cursed ground once used for blood sacrifices to a forgotten harvest god, the hotel’s dark energy has only grown stronger, with strange graffiti and shifting shadows luring the brave—and the foolish—into its depths.
New Flesh was just reborn in Red!
Enter the dystopian world of New Flesh, a future-noir roleplaying game where cyberpunk meets biological horror in the neon-drenched streets of Interzone. Set in then near future, when corporate power runs unchecked, this game draws inspiration from the works of William S. Burroughs, David Cronenberg, and other masters of transgressive fiction.
New Flesh embraces the surreal and visceral, biotechnology reigns supreme over chrome and
steel, transforming human bodies into corporate commodities. Underground labs conduct forbidden experiments, pleasure dens offer metamorphic experiences, and reality itself distorts in the wake of chimeric entities. In this haunting setting, player characters inhabit a world where flesh warps at corporate whim, consciousness fragments across biological interfaces, and survival demands moral compromise.
Note: If you purchased the previous Wretched versions of New Flesh you should have received an email with a code to get the product for free at the Red Room store. If for some reason you did not, reach out to us.

Twilight of Empires is a role-playing game set in the Spanish Golden Age of the 17th century. Drawing heavily from Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s masterful Captain Alatriste novels, with Jae Tanaka’s best cover ever and a four-page introductory comic by Ibai Canales, Twilight of Empires is a 304 page introduction to a world of picaresque adventures, with OSR-compatible rules.
Get ready for a glimpse into history and adventure!
Here’s the first page of a comic by the talented Ibai Canales, created for the upcoming Twilight of Empires—a role-playing game set during the 17th-century Spanish Golden Age. This game draws heavy inspiration from the gritty and atmospheric world of Pérez-Reverte’s Capitán Alatriste novels, bringing swashbuckling intrigue, political conspiracies, and swordplay to life.
Curious to see how the story unfolds? You’ll have to grab the book to discover the rest. Don’t miss out on this journey into a time of glory and tragedy!
Quite possibly the least expected genre to come from The Red Room, a kids game!
Step into that golden moment between childhood and what comes after. Bike rides at dusk, secret clubhouses, and mysteries that grown-ups can’t quite see. Experience adventures in sun-soaked San Cristobal Bay or autumn-touched Oakbrook, where the supernatural whispers behind everyday life.
This d20 RPG captures that Bradbury-esque feeling of standing at summer’s end, when anything seems possible and magic still lives in the corners of the world.
