Red was just released

Red is a generic role-playing game system with mechanics adapted from Wretched, easy to pick up for those already familiar with our games, yet distinct in its approach, breaking free from the anti-heroic roots of its predecessor. Unlike Wretched, it exists outside the Wretchedverse continuity but the system retains enough compatibility to integrate with existing OSR materials. Red is free anyone who has purchased Darker (as the system is basically the same), and only $5 to everybody else. As this is just the first version of an expanding system, there will be no print option for a while.

Darkness updated

The Second Edition of Wretched Darkness has been revamped with a new black-and-white layout. This update has a different look, blending AI-generated illustrations with Jeremy Hart’s work for DARKER. Additionally, it incorporates new alternative rules, including the Fear and Magic systems from DARKER. We’ve also corrected minor typos and revised several paragraphs for improved clarity. If you’ve already purchased Wretched Darkness from our store, the updated digital version is now available for download. A print edition will be coming soon to Lulu.

Wretched Justice now available

Wretched Justice is a new setting for the Wretched Role-Playing Game, set in the violent and corrupt landscape of 1970s Italy and America. Players embody anti-heroes navigating two perilous cities: Cittaferra, a fictional Italian metropolis inspired by poliziotteschi films, and Blackwater, a decaying American city reminiscent of gritty 70s-80s action movies. In these urban jungles plagued by organised crime, political extremism, and police corruption, player characters must choose their path. Will they maintain their moral compass or succumb to the very corruption they fight?

Luludotcom UK printer issues

I’ve just received word from Luludotcom support that their UK printer has rejected a couple of our titles — the hardcover editions of Wretched New Flesh 2nd Edition and Expanded Wretched. This might be due to our decision to avoid the premium color option, which would significantly increase the cost of these books. For those in the UK, I recommend choosing the paperback versions instead, as they seem to be unaffected by this issue.
