WHAT’S CANDELA OBSCURA & HOW CAN I PLAY?
Candela Obscura is an ongoing monthly horror drama that follows an esoteric order of investigators as they use centuries of knowledge to fight back against a mysterious source of corruption and bleed. Set in a fictional turn-of-the-century inspired region known as the Fairelands, a place of terrifying magick, each episode begins with an inciting incident prompting a circle of investigators to uncover and solve the mystery at hand.
The series leverages gaming as a story mechanic and features the Candela Obscura tabletop roleplaying game from Darrington Press, which is built on the Illuminated Worlds system.Â
