Review & Application of Tainted Conception By Silvia Clemente For The Wretched New Flesh Postcards From Aviladad Rpg

 "A Holiday season-themed scenario for Wretched New Flesh – which could work in any other near future setting – taking place in a biotech corporation’s Christmas party (yeah, very original, we know)." 


"In this one-shot adventure for Wretched New Flesh the players will take on the role of guests at the Nakatomi Genetics Inc Christmas party. The party takes place at the corporation headquarters, the Nakatomi Towers and will be suddenly interrupted by a group of terrorists... any similarity with that film you are thinking of is not a mere coincidence."

If your looking for something weird, slightly off kilter, and with slant towards the weird holiday adventure then Tainted Conception By Silvia Clemente might be right up your OSR rpg alleyway. Terrorists have invaded a high end Christmas party in Aviladad at the Nakatomi Genetics Inc building. Stop me if you've heard this one before. Because while Tainted Conception is a love letter to the classic Eighties film. Faster then you can say, 'Welcome to the party pal'. This adventure flips the script. There are tons and tons of twists and turns in the form of random tables, adventure hooks, compelling NPC's. And a cast of terrorists, scientists, and party goers with thier own agendas to hide. Tainted Conception clocks in at fifty one pages & does several things right. Good layout, easy to read, and good artwork even if some of it is A.I. generated. 
Tainted Conception is very well done with a ton of material to tie it right into Wretched New Flesh Second Edition easily. The material within this adventure is strictly geared in & grounded in Avilidad and it shows. Tainted Conception might be the perfect adventure to run for a beginning group of Wretched New Flesh PC's. It's got lots of action, an engaging plot, twisted & interesting NPC's and plenty of lead offs to get the Wretched Flesh action going off of the towers.  

Nakatomi Genetics Inc  is a corporation with secrets and some of thos can as well as will kill PC's at the drop of a hat. There's lots more going on here then at first meets the eye. And the adventure takes it's time getting to it's high points but when it does then the adventure gets the action moving. With tons of random tables and options this adventure never has to play the same way twice. And the writing is fast paced almost but not quite balls to the walls. Tainted Conception does not take itself seriously but it's a weird by the seat of your pants adventure. And there's enough twist and turns to customize this adventure for your group of players.
With the right group of players Tainted Conception could well be the jump point off for a host of lively and highly entertaining advventure to boot. Are there any critiisms of Tainted Love then?! The matterial here is very well done but the adventure itself needs a bit of a going over by an editor to really add it into an intigrated Advilidad. And it  does this with a professional editor who can add another dimension to Tainted Conception. Because with a bit more polish this could be a really premium adventure. Silvia's writing is on point here and really she's come a long way in her adventure writing and design. 
Is Tainted Conception worth getting? Absolutely and I do believe it's one of the essential adventures for Wretched New Flesh. And this is one of the solid adventures for the  Wretched New Flesh rpg.
