We’ve been improving the official Woe To The Wicked website so the reference material is easier to use at the table.

The current library has 603 entries across the player and GM sections. You can search and filter them, open a full entry for its description, lore and defined mechanics, then use a separate running guide for GM advice. The GM section has a spoiler disclaimer.

Recent work includes the Mist Hag, Sasquatch and Slatterscratch. Slatterscratch’s full appearance also has its own spoiler warning. I’ve kept this post’s image free of that reveal.

The presentation is ahead of the testing in places. Artwork is provisional and AI-assisted; some descriptions and mechanical values remain drafts. Existing entries follow the current rules terminology, but that doesn’t make every profile finished or balanced. The downloadable playtest is still Alpha v44.

Next, we’re deciding what belongs in the core experience and what should be developed as supplemental material, so new players face fewer choices at the start.

Play-test ready materials are still a WIP, while we made remarkable progress on the completion of the necessary drafts, several revisions and reviews are looking at pushing back the playtesting release package to Version 42 next week.
