Wretched Verses Issue 3: Blood in the Arena

Blood in the Arena is a Wretched scenario inspired by the TV show Spartacus, where the players take on the roles of gladiators in the Rutilus Ludus, a training school for gladiators in the Vitualyan city of Nervea. As slaves, they have no choice but to fight and entertain for the pleasure of their wealthy Roman masters. As tensions between the slaves and their lanista, Gaius, simmer and eventually boil over, the players will find themselves caught in the middle of a rebellion that could change the course of history. They will need to navigate a world of political intrigue, backstabbing, and cutthroat combat in order to survive and achieve their freedom. (48 pages)
