Candela Obscura is 1 Year Old!

We recorded our Candela Obscura Live Show from our Los Angeles event on May 25th! Come check out this special one-shot with players Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, Marisha Ray, and Khary Payton with a story led by led by Game Master Spenser Starke. The inimitable Taliesin Jaffe also joined us as our Master of Ceremonies!

Candela Obscura is a 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 system that uses 6-sided dice and lends itself to narrative, arc-driven play.
