Agents of W.R.E.T.C.H. Second Edition takes the concept of the original sourcebook and transforms it into an essential Wretched setting compendium. This edition not only preserves the original content, serving as a comprehensive toolbox for orchestrating a light-hearted spy game reminiscent of TV classics like The Avengers, Danger Man, and The Saint, but it also ventures into deeper, more serious territory. With an expanded array of new content, the second edition introduces fresh archetypes, detailed origin stories and lifepaths, new rules for vehicle combat and spycraft, and, most notably, a campaign setting, the city-state of Eisenstadt, a fictional locale poised on the delicate border between Western and Eastern Germany and Czechoslovakia (193 pages).

[BUNDLE] Belle Époque

Wretched

Wretched Époque takes place in the period known as the Belle Époque, which is dated between 1871 and 1914, ending when World War I started. This is the time and the fictional place where Umberto Eco’s Simone Simonini – the most cynical and disagreeable character in the History of literature, as the author meant him to be – crosses paths with Jacques Tardi’s Adèle Blanc-Sec, Edgar Allan Poe’s Chevalier Auguste Dupin and Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin, amidst anarchist bombings, the echoes of the Dreyfus affair, the catastrophic side effects of secret societies conspiring in the shadows and the mysterious results of experiences conducted by mad geniuses. Not yet pulp, not quite historical, it is neither the right time nor the right mood for Steampunk or Dieselpunk, this is the time of Nouveaupunk.

Mirage Hills Chronicles

Wretched

Under the California sun lies the city of Mirage Hills, a glittering chimera promising fame and fortune. Its skyline gleams like a beacon for dreamers and visionaries, its iconic sign a siren's call. Beyond the glamorous veneer of movie stars and mansions, however, Mirage Hills harbours plenty of dark secrets. This Wretched setting draws from numerous classic works across mediums that epitomize the tone and spirit of noir and pulp storytelling. Hardboiled authors like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett pioneered the cynical, solitary perspective of detectives investigating seedy underworlds of ostensibly glamorous locales. Films such as Sunset Boulevard, Mulholland Drive, and A Star Is Born pulled back the curtain on Hollywood to expose the intoxicating but precarious nature of the entertainment industry and the ambitions it attracts. The video game L.A. Noire simulated the mindset of a detective in 1940s Los Angeles, incorporating real history of corruption and organized crime. Comic books and serials like Dick Tracy popularized two-fisted heroes facing off against larger-than-life villains and their elaborate death traps. Conspiracy thrillers and retro sci-fi emphasized mystery, action, and discovering secrets hidden in plain sight. And the brooding, faded grandeur of mid-20th century American cities — as depicted by Edward Hopper's haunting urban landscapes — conjured the melancholy, after-hours qualities central to noir atmosphere.
