Yeah, I know, it comes a bit late; the game was already released. The plan was for the trailer to have been released at the time of launch, but things don’t always work as expected… Well, in the meantime, our friend Griffith Morgan offered to do the voice-over and video and it seems soon we will have a trailer. Probably in time for the release of first Wretched Darkness scenario, Sub Umbra. For now, you can listen to the audio:

While researching for a book on secret societies and occult sects at the library of a 19th-century eccentric millionaire, a Portuguese journalist found evidence the Knights of Christ, who succeeded the Templars in Portugal, had retained much of the esoteric knowledge from the disbanded order.

However, this was merely the surface-level finding. The records of a 17th-century Portuguese knight revealed the order of Christ’s progress in harnessing ancient knowledge to manipulate telluric currents from the Axis Mundi. However, the information contained within the document is not comprehensive, and several sections are missing. The whereabouts of the missing paragraphs remain unknown. Upon further inspection of the record, clues to their location were uncovered. This prompted the journalist to seek assistance from other students of the occult in order to solve the mystery. Unbeknownst to him, this action opened a Pandora’s Box of underground conspiracies, attracting the attention of secret societies around the world, all of whom have set their sights on Portugal with the intention of obtaining the power of the ancients.

Sub Umbra is a scenario for Wretched Darkness, or other horror-themed OSR games

Apparently, things have been quiet in the Red Room, “apparently” being the keyword. Actually, a lot has been done over the last few weeks. Welcome to St Cloud, a Lynchian campaign setting, that is ready for release minus a cover by the Basic Expert. It will probably be available next week. EPIC!, Sílvia’s Wretched Space/ Cha’alt/ Alpha Blue scenario for Venger’s game jam is ready. We’re only waiting for Venger to take a look at it. Meanwhile, Joe Coombs and Joseph McSkeever have been working on their own projects, and Silvia is about to start writing a new Bastards scenario.
As for me, I have been revising the new Wretched rules with the help of Matthew “Lordamatteus” Thomas (right now, he’s doing the editing). I have commissioned a cover and interior illustrations from Joe Tanaka, a Spanish artist who is also going to do a Cha’alt webcomic for Venger Satanis. This week I have started writing a new scenario, this one for Wretched Darkness, inspired by Umberto Eco’s Foulcaut’s Pendulum. So, a lot has been going on!

Tears of Belphegor, by Olivar Tripas: Released (pdf at DrivethruRPG and Big Geek Emporium, it will be available in PoD later)

Tears of Belphegor is a cinematic scenario designed for Wretched Époque during the dark times of the Paris Commune. The Player Characters should be part of the Parisian street scum: “Communards”, thieves or murderers, condemned to death by firing squad for betraying their country. A group of four or five low-life scoundrel characters would be ideal for this short scenario, playable in one session of 6 to 7 hours.
