You’re needed, investigators: join the secret society Candela Obscura to confront occult horrors from beyond, keeping hidden the true nature of magickal incursions besetting our world.
Candela Obscura (bestowed the hashtag #CandelaObscura) is a new tabletop roleplaying game that places you in the roles of investigators working for an esoteric order. In this game of investigative horror, individuals of varied talents are brought together under the organization Candela Obscura. You’ll pursue strange occurrences and encounter dangerous magicks, fighting back against a mysterious source of corruption and bleed. Candela Obscura is the first to use the Illuminated Worlds System, a newly designed system that uses 6-sided dice and lends itself to narrative, arc-driven play.
Candela Obscura is being showcased in a deeply atmospheric monthly actual play series from Critical Role! Watch live on Critical Role’s Twitch and YouTube channels, or catch the previously aired chapters on Twitch VODs, YouTube, or the podcast feed. Watch the current Chapters on YouTube now, and read more about the show in its announcement!
Inside the Candela Obscura Core Rulebook, you’ll enjoy 204 pages filled with art, rules, guidance, and setting information, along with a satin bookmark to keep your page. The book contains over 90 pages detailing the turn of the century-inspired setting of the Fairelands, plus 4 full example assignments and 30 example assignments for gamemasters to dive in with their players. As a player, learn to create your characters in an array of different specialties.
