Candela Obscura Games Week
Lightkeepers and investigators of Candela Obscura: a new phenomenon is upon us so ready your circle! We invite you all to join us for Candela Obscura Games Week! That’s right, from July 26th through August 1st, we’re encouraging you folks to come together for a week of playing and running games of Candela Obscura at home, online, your friendly local game stores, or wherever you all meet! And we want to make it easy for you so we’ve brought together lots of resources (like the just released Candela Obscura GM Roundtable) to help you to take the plunge and try running or playing this game for the first time, or honing your craft and meeting other fellow investigators!
New Character and Circle Sheets & Updated Set of 6 Pregenerated Characters!
As a resource for players, we have new downloadable interactive character and circle sheets and updated static character and circle sheets, PLUS we updated and expanded the Quickstart Guide pregenerated characters to a full set of 6! Find these resources and more as always on the Candela Obscura homepage.
