It’s been six months since your last assignment, you’ve almost fully recovered from that experience. Now, a letter has arrived from your Lightkeeper with updates about the artifact your circle was pursuing. Not all of it sounds good, but Candela Obscura needs your circle back in the field. To finish what you started. To protect the waking world from what lies beyond.
Welcome to a gilded world of terrifying magick!
Candela Obscura is a horror tabletop roleplaying game about occult investigators hunting down the dangerous supernatural forces making incursions into a world very much like your own.
You take up the role of a newly formed Circle member. You can be the Face or Muscle of the group, a Scholar or a Slink, or maybe a touch of Weird is what’s best suited for this paranormal secret society.
This is a beginner friendly one-shot with elements of investigation, paranormal, and social interaction. The combat in Candela Obscura tends to be less tactical, and more organic and story-driven. Characters will be created at the table. Please feel free to reach out if you’ve any questions
