Orbital Decay

Wretched New Flesh: Orbital Decay is a gritty industrial science-fiction setting that can be used as standalone, though it is primarily meant to be an expansion to the dark and twisted universe of Wretched New Flesh (160 pages). Building upon the surreal and nightmarish world of Avalidad, Orbital Decay explores the depths of human ambition, desperation, and depravity as we venture beyond Earth’s atmosphere, establishing orbital stations and colonies on other planets within the solar system. This setting draws heavy inspiration from iconic films such as Alien, Aliens, Outland, Escape from New York, Stalker, Solaris, Event Horizon, and Pandorum, expertly weaving themes of isolation, claustrophobia, desperation, fear, and horror into the fabric of its narrative. As humanity reaches for the stars in search of resources, knowledge, and power, the ever-present influence of Takeda Technologies and other known corporations extend their reach into the cold void of space.

Penney Tower

Penney Tower, more properly the Penney Technopolis Project, is an technological marvel and early experimental arcology built in the suburban London borough of Stentonford, to the Southwest of the city proper. Built between 1970 and 1975, this was the pet project of architect and scientist Doctor Rory Hardon and was built as a futuristic 'perfect community' using high technology to be self-sustaining, self-reliant, self-regulating and self-contained. Dr. Hardon had previously worked on Avalidad's visionary architecture through the 1950s and 60s, as well as numerous other architectural projects at interesting places all around the world. Nobody goes to Penney Tower any more, and most people have forgotten about it. There's something strange about the way it has been forgotten, and that those early settlers in the new project – including Doctor Hardon, haven't been heard of since the structure opened (157 pages) Penney Tower is a city sourcebook and an alternative location for the world of Wretched New Flesh by James 'Grim' Desborough.

From enigmatic espionage networks in Lisbon to the mystifying tales of Mata-Hari and her connections with occult societies, up to gangsters and bootleggers in Prohibition Era Chicago. Encounter a varied cast of characters, including former German intelligence officers, enigmatic artists, high-class courtesans, and more, each with their own hidden agendas. Reporter X is a small trove of adventure plot hooks, where every article holds a clue, and every rumour might just be a lead to a larger conspiracy (71 pages).

The Celluloid Killer

In Celluloid Killer, the third instalment of the Crime City Blues series, players are assigned the roles of Hammettville Police detectives who are investigating a gruesome murder. As they delve deeper into the case, they come to the realisation that a serial killer is on the loose (62 pages). The Celluloid Killer is obsessed with movies, and copies the murder scenes of well-known films for his killings. The adventure is firmly rooted in the thriller genre and should be played as a traditional police procedural, with no supernatural elements. However, it is connected to Sexual Holocaust, the first adventure in the Crime City Blues series, which had a horror theme inspired by Hellraiser. That scenario introduced a group of sexual demons known as The Apostles of Pain, who manage to cross over into our world.
