Grindhouse Red is the MicroRed version of Wretchploitation, one of our earliest Wretched titles. It plunges players into the gritty, blood-soaked underbelly of 1970s exploitation cinema, using MicroRed, a streamlined iteration of the Red rules, an OSR-compatible system by the Red Room. With a cover by Warghoul (Lore Hammer Forge), and interior art (mostly) from public domain, Grindhouse Red is a love letter to the sleazy, blood-soaked world of exploitation cinema—films that thrived on sex, violence, drugs, and every taboo from the 1960s to the 1980s. It’s FREE for those who purchased Wretchploitation from our store and… you can play a LITERAL NAZI! What’s not to love?
In Conspiracy Files, a standalone RPG evolved from Wretched Conspiracies and powered by MicroRed (a streamlined version of the OSR compatible Red RPG), you join the Veil Syndicate, a shadowy organization that fights alien, paranormal and supernatural threats, while concealing them from the general public. As an elite agent, you’ll uncover ancient secrets, battle otherworldy enemies and rival factions, and use advanced tech to uphold the Syndicate’s agenda. Conspiracy Files is FREE for those who purchased Wretched Conspiracies at the Red Room Store.
Gothic and Red just got upgrades. Gothic’s overhaul is the big one: Mark Brooks’ plot hooks were added, typos scrubbed, rules clarifications made, and AI art swapped for era-appropriate public domain pieces. Red, now at version 1.5, got light rules clarifications. Grab both in the store’s downloads section.
New release: Dark Corners by Mark Brooks. In Darker RPG, the world is in terminal decline. In such a world, there are shadowy places, dark corners, where evil things plot and scheme and corrupt, and the light never shines.
New release: Voidhaven Outpost (MicroRed version). This a science fiction role-playing game inspired by Babylon 5, set entirely within a gargantuan space station at the edge of known space. The setting was originally conceived as a supplement for Wretched Space, but this standalone version has been adapted to use the MicroRed rules, a streamlined and condensed form of Red. It’s a FREE download for customers who purchased the original Voidhaven. https://moordereht.com/product/voidhaven-outpost-microred-version/
The MicroRed version of Orbital Decay is now available at Red Room store, and it’s a free download for those who purchased the Wretched version of Orbital Decay. This is a hard sci-fi role-playing game, where player characters live in a world of ambition, desperation, and moral decay, where humanity claws its way beyond Earth to build orbital stations and colonies across the solar system. Inspired by movies like Alien, Outland, and Event Horizon.
Novanexus (Micro Red Edition) is now available at the Red Room store and it is a FREE download for those who purchased the Wretched version. The new Novanexus is a full-game with summarised Red rules and the full setting. The game is set in a retro-futuristic French metropolis where a mysterious phenomenon called the Glitch threatens to unravel the city’s fragile balance. Heavily inspired by Jacques Tati’s Playtime (1967) and Trafic (1971), Novanexus combines gritty sci-fi with melancholic nostalgia.
