Wretched New Flesh has been our slowest-selling game (it’s still Copper Seller at Drivethru, while most of the others have gone up to Silver), which is a shame because I quite like the setting. Here’s an incentive to take the risk and plunge into the weird world of Avalidad: 50% off the pdf until Sunday with this coupon:

2022 was a good year at the Red Room. We decided to take a leap of faith and adventure ourselves in the Wretched world of indie role-playing game publishing. For a change, things actually worked for us! We are aware we wouldn’t have made it without your support! Thank you for being wretched! We promise to keep spamming you with content during 2023!
Today’s flash sale includes the two items in the Wretched New Flesh line. Wretched New Flesh is an OSR adaptation of Postcards from Avalidad, a Postmortem Studios setting. This is a near-future sci-fi/ surreal horror game inspired by the works of William S. Burroughs, David Cronenberg, William Gibson, and Clive Barker. Almost 400 pages crammed-full of information about the bizarre world of Avalidad, with mechanics compatible with the previous Wretched game
The game setting is centred on Avalidad, a futuristic city in Morocco, where corporations have been conducting research in genetics, cybernetics, augmented and virtual reality, and biotechnology. By default, characters are expected to be ZoneSec operatives or executives for Takeda Technologies, one of the most powerful corporations in Avalidad, but other roles such as Avalidad’s celebrities, fiscal royalty and seedy underbelly are also possible.
This book includes the contents of Postmortem Studios’ Postcards from Avalidad, new mechanics, the scenario As Above, so Below and additional information about the city of Avalidad, corporations, technology, ZoneSec and more.
All Bets Are Off is a mini-setting for Wretched New Flesh -Postcards from Avalidad. It adds the city of Lisbon, Portugal’s capital, to the Avalidad game world. Lisbon of the near future is a new entry in the infamous list of gambling and vice cities of the world, such as Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Macao, Monaco and Singapore.
There are several tie-ins to the original storyline through factions in the core book and plot hooks, which demand the characters to travel to the Iberian city. There’s also enough information to make Lisbon an alternative location for an Avalidad ongoing plot.
