This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I own the first edition of this game, and I didn't really like it, at least compared to Wretched New Flesh or Wretched Epoch, I felt it overlapped too much with those games without feeling distinct.

But given this review I might pick up the second edition, I'm currently working on a game in a similar genre to this and Invisible College, so kind of curious to see what they've updated/changed for myself.
"The ideal embodied in Launcelot is "escapism" in a sense never dreamed of by those who use that word; Chivalry offers the only possible escape from a world divided between wolves who do not understand, and sheep who cannot defend, the things which make life desirable"

Off subject a little but here's this in honor of the cute kitty:

>Blade Runner RPG
Terrible idea, overwhelming majority of ttrpg players can't pass Voight-Kampff test.

Wretched Darkness' best bit, to me, is their collection of random tables and random generators ("random generator" being multi-table groups that combine to create something more sophisticated than a single random table can do).
