All Bets are Off (OSR version): Coming Soon
Coming next: All Bets are Off, an alternate setting for Wretched New Flesh https://www.drivethrurpg.com/…/Wretched-New-Flesh…
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.
(In)Sanatorium Released
(In)Sanatorium Released (Drivethru and Big Geek Emporium)
A Lovecraftian scenario for the old-school horror game Wretched Époque, by Silvia Clemente.
Through the small French town of Royat flows a stream of miraculous water. Still, the spring’s history is also connected to ancient ghost stories, and the locals prefer to avoid it just in case. Until the day an eccentric Russian prince is cured of his long ailment and decides to share the water miracle with the world, building a unique avant-garde Sanatorium & Spa Resort.
However, the townspeople were actually right by fearing those ancient tales; something ancient, unnatural and dangerous lurks in the shadows of the sanatorium and the preternatural cure may come with a heavy price. The answer to this mystery is in the water.

Wretched Époque takes place in the period known as the Belle Époque. This is the time and the fictional place where Umberto Eco’s Simone Simonini crosses paths with Jacques Tardi’s Adèle Blanc-Sec, Edgar Allan Poe’s Chevalier Auguste Dupin and Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin, amidst anarchist bombings, the echoes of the Dreyfus affair, the catastrophic side effects of secret societies conspiring in the shadows and the mysterious results of experiences conducted by mad geniuses. Not yet pulp, not quite historical, it is neither the right time nor the right mood for Steampunk or Dieselpunk. Welcome to the wretched times of Nouveaupunk!
Wretched Époque includes:
– OSR rules for playing fin-de-siécle anti-heroes (expanded Wretched rules for sanity and mesmerism)
– Information about fictional and real-world secret societies, cults and conspiracies
– Plenty of villains, among them criminal masterminds, mad scientists, mythical beasts and Lovecraftian abominations
– The Apache Underworld and Parisian law enforcement of the late 19th century, as foes or allies to the characters
– The Beyond, origin of all supernatural menaces in the Wretched universe
– Timeline and guide to the Arrondissements of Paris in the Belle Époque

In Wretched Depravity Released
In Wretched Depravity, our second Halloween scenario was just released at DrivethruRPG and Big Geek Emporium.
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/…/In-Wretched-Depravity
Inspired heavily by the movie The Dead House, in this Wretchploitation scenario, by Joe Coombs , the players may take the role of a gang of psychotic house invaders, the family inhabiting the house or even the authorities investigating the case. Besides the conflict between the gang and the family members, there will be many other events, mundane and supernatural. So, whether you’re looking for a fun one-shot night of horror or something that could be much more expansive, then (hopefully) this will be an explosive fuel for your inspiration.
