OSR Review & Application of Supermax By Michael L Straus For The Wretched Rpg & It's Deriative Wretchedverse RPG

 "In this product we introduce the idea of three Supermax prisons that exist in the world of Wretched Darkness, Conspiracies and Vigilantes and how each one is specifically designed to hold these threats. For your agents trying to unravel the mysteries of Wretched Conspiracies, we present the Area 52 Supermax, deep in the Nevada desert. For those investigators of all things Wretched Darkness, we have cells set aside in Area 52 and Alcatraz just for vampires, werewolves and ghosts. And as for the super villains, we have the Alcatraz Supermax and the mysterious off shore location known only as The Deep."




"Since we are exposing secrets, we also at last reveal the master plan of Edge and explain what’s up with all those sightings of Edge. And we get some answers to some other questions as well from Tag. If you do the crime, be ready to do the time at the Wretched Supermax" 

 Supermax By Michael L Straus For The Wretched Rpg covers a wide variety of Wretchedverse rpg's including Wretched Darkness, Wretched Conspiracies, and of course Wretched Vigilantes. Supermax is also available at 
, and coming up. The supplement clocks in at seventy seven pages of really interesting and deep dive plot information the Supermax prisons. The idea here is to prove the players and the DM with engaging adventure plot lines and 'legacy NPC's' to challenge your players. And this is spelled out in the Supermax introduction: "In this product we introduce the idea of three Supermax prisons that exist in the world of Wretched Darkness, Conspiracies and Vigilantes and how each one is specifically designed to hold these threats." We get tons of details on the Supermaxes including day to day operations, security, set up, adventure opportunities and more. And lots and lots of NPC's. We also get the legacy and history of the Supermaxes going back to the super prison's establishment back in the Sixties. That legacy includes the fate of the Supermaxes in present day and the future. 
The layout, fonts, and overall design along with the writing on Supermax is well done and easy on the eyes. 
There's a ton of NPC's that get thier due in this supplement with lots of details, powers, background, and more. This includes lots of details to hook into the Expanded Wretched Rpg coming up. 
































There's lots and lots of links into Agents of  W.R.E.T.C.H. as well giving the DM even more. This means that Supermax slots into Wretched Darkness second edition, Wretched Conspiracy, and Wretched Vigilantes easily. A word of caution the NPC's are far worse then the PC's of your campaigns by a country mile and most pose more then a passing threat to your player's PC's. There's even ins and hooks for Welcome to Saint Cloud a really well done David Lynch inspired campaign setting. Supermax brings lots of 'steak and patatoes' NPC's to the table for your Wretched Rpg games. And this makes Supermax a super useful addition to the Wretchedverse rpg. And yes it's worth the five dollar asking price. A great little game supplement with the potential for years of play in the Wretchedverse campaign worlds.
