4 More Prompts for The Wretched
This post originally appeared on Patreon. Patrons get access to all blog posts at least a week in advance of them going live on Loot The Room.
A few years ago I released a free postcard to commemorate the two year anniversary of The Wretched. This contained four new prompts for the game. I figured that since it’s been three years since I put that out, I should probably make those prompts available a little more widely. So here they are.
They don’t have any card values attached to them. Feel free to use them however you’d like.
You dream of a space between the stars, a vast darkness that stretches further than your mind can comprehend. What do you hear echoing in the black stillness? How does the sound linger when you wake? Pull from the tower.
Your radio shrieks into life, and a dark and terrible voice speaks to you. It says it can help you rid yourself of the creature. Who is it, and what do they want in return? If you accept their offer, pull from the tower.
Somewhere in the wrecked maintenance quarters of the ship, you find a weapon that you’re sure will help you fight off the creature if you have to confront it again. What is it, and how will it help you? The next time you come face to face with the creature and try to use your weapon, pull from the tower.
How long has the creature been speaking to you? Why did you let it on to the ship in the first place? Sit with what you did.
