About the adventure
🔎 Investigate mysterious phenomena. 🐙 Battle eldritch horrors in original cases. 📜 Carve your story, one consequence at a time. New horror, narrative-driven system from the minds of Critical Role. Welcome to the Victorian-esque, magitek city of Newfaire, where spirits roam the streets, monsters lurk in dilapidated manors, and Old Gods seep their way through the barrier. You are investigators of the Circle, and your task is simple in name but incredibly difficult to perform: seek unusual cases, use the resources of your order, and close the cracks in the veil while protecting innocent lives. With easy-to-learn rules, Candela focuses on roleplay, cinematic combat, improvisation, and telling your character's story: how do you battle evil and will you survive or see yourself succumb to its dark tendrils?

About me
Ever since I first picked up a twenty-sided die, I’ve wanted to be behind the GM screen, narrating fantastical stories my friends create. I’ve come a long way since the days of pen and paper and cozy huddles around my kitchen table—but one thing hasn’t changed: I treat you as a friend in my worlds. With a background in theater and literature, I strive to weave meticulously crafted narratives that stir minds and hearts. Each story has the freedom to breathe and grow, with the ultimate goal of creating a majestic tale we’ll remember for life. I also create TTRPG supplements and articles, some of which have even found their way onto Gen Con tables! I’m deeply passionate about community and storytelling as ways to bridge the hardships of life and forge lasting companionship. You can find my work and musings at elvenfirefly.com.

Safety
How Nikko | ElvenFirefly creates a safe table
During our 1-on-1 call we shall establish Lines and Veils and go over safety tools. This is a mature, horror game. A 10-minute break roughly in the middle will serve for drinks, snacks, and bio, as well as to help with the pacing and bleed. I will be checking in with you throughout the campaign regarding your satisfaction, safety, and your character's arcs.
