The RedRoom has a new "Red" gaming line (https://moordereht.com/product-category/red/). Has anyone used the revised system? How does it differ from their original Wretched line?

You can get a preview of the Sword and Sorcery version here: https://moordereht.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Savage-Swords.pdf

I've not played it, but it looks similar to the Wretched line. I see no mention of the vices that Wretched had; whether that had been dropped or it's just not in the preview, I'm not sure.
"The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing;
Rush in and die, dogs—I was a man before I was a king."

I bought a bunch of the Wretched stuff, but it had a lot of sexy stuff which isn't really my thing. I think that's less a part of the RED product line.

I haven't been here in a while, I guess I should have. A couple of weeks ago we made Red free, so you can check out the changes (no character levels is one of them). https://moordereht.com/product/red-role-playing-game
Also, the Red settings are more "serious" than the Wretched ones, so no raunchy humour like in Bastards, and less sexy images.

Love free systems, And I've liked Wretched. Glad to see something along the same vein that isn't quite as pidgeonholed into the players being assholes. Just downloaded it and I'll give some thoughts here later.
