Review & Commentary On Wretched Verses Issue 11 – Vampires, Werewolves and Wretched Hunters For The Wretchedverse rpgs

 
Wretched Verse Issue 11 Released: An alternative way of introducing Vampires, Werewolves and their hunters into a Wretched game

So I grabbed  Wretched Verse Issue 11 & I was expecting a small little intro into the world of  the Wretchedverse for Vampires & Werewolves. Nope what we got was a huge forty seven page overview and alternative deep dive into the world of vampires and werewolves. And it adds in a brand new faction! The werewolf and vampire hunters are something that is going to give the player's pause and are a faction that has a wide array of wretchedverse adventure applications. Not only do you get a break down of new werewolf and vampire factions but you get internal rivalries and relationship dynamics. 
Why is this important?! Because you've got a huge amount of these factions running around in both Wretched Darkness and Wretched Époque's second edition!

Although   Wretched Verse Issue 11 could extensively be used with the modern era. Where it really shines is when combined with Wretched Époque's second edition. Here's why. The fact is the expanded evirons of Paris are the perfect staging ground for a wide variety of dust ups between the minions of the Beyond and the vampires or werewolves. The usual 'World of Darkness' style tropes are not here. Instead we get a world where the supernatural is at the throats of the monsters and vice versa. This puts a whole different spin on the historical world of Epoque.

The vile villains may not necessarily be either the vampires or werewolves of Paris. They might in point of fact be humans or worse. And believe me when I say that there's far worse in Wretched Epoque. And personally this is a highly underutilized aspect of Wretched Epoque. Because the Beyond of Paris is incredibly dangerous!

What Wretched Verse Issue 11 brings to the table are brand new takes on the usual Werewolves & vampires far more in keeping with both cinematic and folklore versions of our favoite monsters! Wretched Verse Issue 11 would also work very well for the Invisible College Rpg to help to round out the werewolves and vampires of that world as well. This means that Wretched Verse Issue 11 works very well as a well rounded
