OSR Review & Commenary On Wretched World By The Red Room For The Revised Wretched Role Playing Game

 "Looking for a freaky theme park to add to your game? Wretched World is here to deliver! This supplement offers everything you need to create a spine-chilling, psychedelic theme park. Dive into a wealth of information, non-player characters, plot hooks and random tables to enhance your game session. Wretched World expands on the quirky 1970s relic theme park featured in Vice: Sandcove Under Fire. Best of all, it’s free for those who purchased that setting."

Wretched World is exactly the right mix of 1970's kitch & absolute menace mixed with mob influences through out. Oh did I mention the supernatural that's lurking just outside of the background. Wretched World is a slightly rundown 70's them park with animatronic characters which has been taken over by Cuban style drug dealers as a way of laundring thier drug earnings. 
We get a complete tour of Wretched World in thirty three pages, the cartography is well done, the editing is solid, and the layout is easy on the eyes. 
Wretched World has a luandry list of NPC's running Wretched World & being as sleazy as possible. They are not putting much money into maintaining the place just enough to let the theme park function. However there is an undercurrent throughout the park of supernatural menace and horror. Horror that is just waiting waiting for PC's to stumble across it. 
Here's where Wretched World gets interesting. Because Wretched World makes an excellent location for Wretched Vigilantes or Wretched Darkness! A few missing children and off you go with your player's PC's! 

Wretched World is primed for a prime evil that could have a gateway into the Beyond. The primary attractions could each have a gateway deep into the heart of the Beyond. 
Or there could be a gateway into the disciplines of pain's lair in the Beyond. Either way the encounters and weirdness of Wretched World is primed to bring into your OSR games! 

We can remember It For You Whole Sale - With Zozer Games Hostile & Zaibatsu rpg's

 Let's pick up the Zaibatsu rpg with our last blog entry here . If memory implants & personality implants could shift a person't entire life and reality?! Could you trust that who you are is really who you are? This is the question that my players are wrestling with. 
What if the a crack clone & replicant hunting group of NPC's called the Devil's Forsaken are not at all what they seem?! 

After introducing Zozer Games's  the HOSTILE Situation Report 012 - The Mine .I've got the players questioning if thier characters are actually themselves or clones who have been mind raped into thinking that thier the genuine article. This happened after the party stumbled into a genetics labatory that they weren't meant to see. 
And then the Devil's Forsaken went after them as clones! And this could be the reality as the PC's are under this assumption that the party is from another universe and they've taken over this universe's Semptember Group. Or is this actually all an elaborate charade by thier cruel corporate overlords!? 

Or is it really the Devil's Forsaken who are the not ex ganger but instead cheap clones who have been given complete mind make overs?! With the clones being used to test and improve the latest batches of combat androids?! The players are pissed but I've got them wrapped up in this false reality or is it?! 
Are the ganger's pasts merely VR simulations and false memories of a Toyako that no longer exists?! 
This is no longer street and corporate conspiracy theory to the player's PC's but reality. A false reality where there are shape shifting androids monitoring the progress of thier products?!
