What are people’s thoughts on the Illuminated World’s system? On one hand, I’ve been digging Candela Obscura, but on the other hand, I can’t help but feel that the show is carried in large part by the amazing DMs and PCs and that the system itself is a bit too “loosey-goosey”, for lack of a better term, for other people to pick up and play. A lot of game mechanics seem arbitrary and up to the DM to decide when they occur, instead of motivated by a set of rules. For example, whenever a PC takes a body it always seems like it comes out of nowhere. You touch a random object that you don’t know has a speck of bleed, you take a body, you open a closet, you take a body, etc. I just feel like with a less than stellar DM, it’d become too arbitrary for most normal players.

EDIT: Also, yes this community isn’t very active, but I wanted to say thanks for creating it in the first place! It will grow with time I am sure.
