Quick Impressions of Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H. Rpg Setting Second Edition Book By The Red Room

 " Agents of WRETCH - Second Edition RELEASED. This second edition takes the concept of the original sourcebook and transforms it into an essential Wretched setting compendium. This edition not only preserves the original content, serving as a comprehensive toolbox for orchestrating a light-hearted spy game reminiscent of TV classics like The Avengers, Danger Man, and The Saint, but it also ventures into more serious territory. Available now at the Red Room store, Giant Slayer and Big Geek Emporium.

































Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H. Rpg Setting Second Edition Book By The Red Room came out about two days ago. And I'm way behind on my Red Room reviews and such. But Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H. Second Edition is one that I've been personally waiting for to hit the market place. Why?! Because I've run the first edition of this rpg supplement as a full on campaign. This book is very different from the first edition in every sense of the word. First of all this is an excellent spy & super spy setting ala early Sixties James Bond, Man from U.N.C.L.E., Our Man Flint, etc. Except it's not?! What do I mean by this? Well the fact is that in one hundred and ninety one pages. Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H. second edition brings new archtypes, backgrounds, PC options, and more to the table top. Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H. brings new factions, enemies, updates existing ones, and generally thrusts the PC's into the world of a Cold War spy battle ground that never existed. And it does this by laying down the world of this shadow war where your PC's are right in the middle of it.
Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H. is well written, the layout is clean, most of artwork is A.I. but it's well done A.I. artwork. And the text is readable and so overall Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H. is a nicely put together package. This is a world where a futuristic Cold War that never existed rages on and this could be the past or twenty minutes into the future of the Red Room's Wretched New Flesh Postcards from Aviladad second edition. 
What the Red Room has done with 
Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H. is to bring home a brand new setting book that can be slid in the back door of other Wretched rpg campaign worlds. And this adds whole cloth new material to existing Wretched Rpg campaigns. Secret agents can easily vs the supernatural and they don't have to be limp handed about handing out a beat down to the forces of darkness. You see your not playing a straight arrow spy here. Your playing a down and dirty super spy whose willing to use the tools of the trade to keep the James Bond villain from wiping out the world. 
 
Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H. presents a solid alternative for running super spies in the world of a Cold War going very wrong. And I personally think that Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H. is another great campaign setting book for the Wretched Rpg
