Candela Obscura | New Critical Role RPG |

About the adventure

Candela Obscura follows an esoteric order of investigators as they use centuries of knowledge to fight back a mysterious source of Magick. This is a mature rated Gothic Victorian themed experience where the stakes are incredibly high and combat comes with real danger and intensity. Eldritch horror mixed with ancient dangerous Magicks not fully understood abound in this dark fantasy campaign universe. This link explains everything I do in a video so you can see examples. https://youtu.be/-pLMIflMPhk This is a link to the official trailer of the live play group. There you can also follow the links to an example game played by the critical role team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvlAgbSUiWw I'm an ex theater actor who used to work at disney doing professional stage shows. Narrative and story are most important to me however setting the visual mood is very powerful in this kind of experience which is why I've put the effort into offering visuals as well. My game is a unique experience in that certain pieces of the investigations are completely visual. Just like in the thumbnail above you will be able to explore gothic mansions. Ethereal cityscapes and otherworldly places all using the power of unreal 5. Important items will also be completely rendered in 3d for you to inspect. This is in all essence a ttrpg played with highly unique visual elements to ensure everyone's imagination is on the same page. All you need to do before hand is read the quickstart guide and free rules available here but I will also teach you how to play. This is a completely immersive bespoke experience with highly social elements. All of the groups share an existing campaign world and your choices and consequences can effect the city and even other groups. Everything done between the groups will persistently exist within the same shared campaign space and you will be able on downtime roleplay with other investigators as well. Investigators will able to confer with each other outside of there prospective groups. You will even be able to meet others outside of your own personal investigation group. There will also be opportunities to join other Candela Obscura cells within the same campaign world allowing you to build a network of friends socially within the space. Something important to note is that everything done between the groups will persistently exist within the same shared campaign space and you will be able on downtime roleplay with other investigators as well via discord. This is the beginning of a living world were legends will be born and accomplishments and failures truly matter. Rise the ranks of the Candela Obscura group or even work against them with over two years of content planned with much more to come.
