 "EXPERIENCE THE GLITZ AND GLAMOUR OF EARLY 1930S BERLIN, THE DECADENT PLAYGROUND OF CABARET SINGERS, EXPATRIATES AND OCCULT THRILL-SEEKERS. RUB ELBOWS WITH THE LOCAL ELITES IN UNDERGROUND JAZZ CLUBS. GET SWEPT UP IN RIVETING ROMANTIC ENCOUNTERS THAT COULD LEAD TO REDHOT PASSION OR RED-HANDED MURDER. BUT BEHIND THE DAZZLING ART DECO EXTERIOR LURKS MURDER AND ANCIENT FORCES. SURVIVE THIS TREACHEROUS WORLD OF POLICE INFORMANTS, RUTHLESS CRIMINALS AND DEMONIC CULTS TO UNRAVEL AN OCCULT MYSTERY"


"THEN SET A COURSE ACROSS THE SOUTH PACIFIC TO THE SUN-SOAKED PARADISE OF FIJI. SAIL BETWEEN PRISTINE TROPICAL ISLANDS AND DISCOVER ANCIENT ISLAND CULTURES. JUST BEWARE THE ALLURING DRAGON LADY, WHOSE FAR-REACHING CRIMINAL EMPIRE HAS ITS CLAWS IN EVERY PORT, AND HER EYES SET ON YOU!"


So following hot on the heels of our review The Wretched Inbellum rpg. We discovered Issue #19 of Wretched Verses - Wretched Inbellum Ten Thousand Miles to Fiji hit the stands. Wretched Interbellum Ten Thousand Miles to Fiji puts the PC's smack in the middle of post war Berlin. This was a garden that was in the middle of a full on Post World War I Recession and the breeding ground for all kinds of weird and wild stuff from the Jazz era ascendance to the drug scene pre War Berlin had it all. Insert the PC's into this tank of sharks. And you've got the makings of a wild ride of a first adventure. Ten Thousand Miles to Fiji has a bit of everything allowing the PC's to experience some of what the Wretched Inbellium setting has to offer. 
And Ten Thousand Miles to Fiji takes full advantage of the back parts of the Wretched Interbellium settings factions, occult conspiracies, and movers as well as the shakers. The adventure  plot is central and the PC's are off to experience some very dazzling adventures. Ten Thousand Miles to Fiji has a bit of everything and beginning adventure does not mean baby steps for the PC's. The party is going to be thrown into the middle of the adventure and there's a good chance for PC death especially if the PC's are stupid 
Ten Thousand Miles to Fiji is well done with easy to read text, solid layou, and a good premise that takes full advantage of the Neor Pulp sensiblities of the Wretched Interbellum campaign setting. 
And Ten Thousand miles to Fiji could easily be run with Raiders of the Lost Artifacts rpg. 



Ten Thousand Miles To Fiji has a ensable cast of NPC's & well done encounters. The adventure has the factions of Wretched Interbellum in full array and it uses these for the adventure's strengths. The PC's are going to up to thier eye balls in Pre World War II Pulpy action and it's a glorious adventure. I highly recommend The Free Introductory Adventure Wretched Verses Issue 19 – Ten Thousand Miles to Fij For The Wretched Interbellum Rpg
