Wretched Bastards Second Edition

Wretched Bastards Second EditionWretched Bastards is a low magic, dark fantasy role playing game. Besides being deadly and bleak, it is meant to be sleazy. The main characters arent heroes at all; they are greedy, violent, lecherous, cruel, and untrustworthy scoundrels. They will lie, backstab, betray, double cross, kill, pillage and rape through this grim fantasy world. They arent heroes because there are no heroes in the kingdom of Riget, only a handful in the Kharabas continent,

Wretched Bastards is a low-magic, dark fantasy role-playing game. Besides being deadly and bleak, it is meant to be sleazy. The main characters arenÕt heroes at all; they are greedy, violent, lecherous, cruel, and untrustworthy scoundrels. They will lie, backstab, betray, double-cross, kill, pillage and rape through this grim fantasy world. They arenÕt heroes because there are no heroes in the kingdom of Riget, only a handful in the Kharabas continent, and not a whole lot more in the world of Antillia. (224 pages)

A set of rules, such as Wretched Role-Playing Game or other OSR game is required to play Wretched Bastards Second Edition

Includes:
Ð Setting specific rules changes
Ð Alternate rules for magic
Ð Description of the world of Antillia
Ð The Seven Bastards campaign setting
In the last 12 months, weÕve experienced a lot of change with Wretched. When the core book was released, we were still uncertain if players would be interested in embodying greedy and lewd scoundrels. However, the response was positive, and we quickly realized we had tapped into a market open for this type of gameplay. As a result, we shifted our focus to developing Wretched into a full game line. Our exploration of new genres, including western, investigative and exploitation horror, space opera, and post-apocalyptic action, led us to introduce new mechanics and refine existing ones. Then came the OGL fiasco and we decided to cut ties with a licence that offered no guarantees and which we didnÕt actually need in the first place.

With the release of the revised Wretched Role-Playing Game core book, we were able to move forward with our plan to create setting books instead of full games for our second editions. We wanted to provide fleshed-out settings for our players, and thus the world of Antillia grew. While we understand that many gamers enjoy creating their own settings, we believe having a developed world will be useful for game masters looking for a quick and easy setting for Wretched Bastards. In this second edition, youÕll find an expanded Antillia with a whole world to explore, even if itÕs not yet thoroughly described.

WeÕve also included The Seven Bastards campaign setting in the main book, so players can dive right in. Finally, weÕve added some new mechanics suited for fantasy games to round out the Wretched system and provide even more options.
