Circle of the Great Machine - Candela Obscura 6 Week Campaign

About the adventure

The city of Newfaire holds secrets too many to mention but perhaps the most notorious is the great machine. Deep beneath the Sidle district waits an elaborate device of gears and chains the size of a stadium plumbed into the underside of the city. It seemingly serves no purpose, abandoned and unmoving, nobody knows how it got there or how such elaborate construction could possibly have gone unnoticed. It has no owner, only those who stumble across it by accident ever seem to approach and it matched no known design. Rumours of its existence spread before Candela Obscura were able to take possession but luckily they have prevented any further intrusion into this strange space. Keeping other interested parties and random wanderers from finding the machine is the primary purpose of the Circle of the Great Machine, as the study of the engine often feels fruitless. It's workings have been thoroughly mapped but it's purpose still eludes definition. Create an established or new member of The Circle of the Great Machine assigned to guard and investigate the device as it's secrets are uncovered. Candela Obscura is a gothic horror mystery game wherein the players are a team of investigators in a steam punk adjacent setting trying to neutralise supernatural threats. - New player friendly - Learn the game as you play - No previous experience or materials required - Roleplay heavy, theatre of the mind style - Stretch your roleplaying and creative skills with a character driven story focused game It is not necessary to have read the rulebook but I am running the system for the first time so it will certainly help, just bare with me if we have to take things a little slow in places. All welcome, horror themed so cannot entirely avoid unpleasant subject matter but happy to discuss lines and veils before starting.
