Wretched Vigilantes is a game setting for the Wretched Role-Playing Game that thrusts players into the gritty and dark world of Hammettville, infamously known as "Crime City."
Within this setting, players assume the roles of antihero characters, retired vigilantes who are unexpectedly called back into action to defend their city.
Their adversaries are the Vanguard Squad, a group of once-heroic crime fighters who have become corrupted and transformed into crime lords themselves, terrorizing the very city they once protected.
As former vigilantes, the player characters embark on a journey of redemption and self-discovery. They must confront their personal struggles, including the moral dilemmas of their past actions.
