The Circle of Shore & Shale
Candela Obscura | One-Shot
About the adventure
You’re needed, investigators: join the secret society Candela Obscura to confront occult horrors from beyond, keeping hidden the true nature of magickal incursions besetting our world. Candela Obscura is a new tabletop roleplaying game that places you in the roles of investigators working for an esoteric order. In this game of investigative horror, individuals of varied talents are brought together under the organization Candela Obscura. You’ll pursue strange occurrences and encounter dangerous magicks, fighting back against a mysterious source of corruption and bleed. Candela Obscura is the first to use the Illuminated Worlds System, a newly designed system that uses 6-sided dice and lends itself to narrative, arc-driven play.

I played a Brtindlewood Bay one shot, ran by susan, called Night at the Whaling Museum; and it was absolutely wonderful! Susan was incredibly skilled in weaving a spooky, Lovecrafting mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat all night. Her storytelling prowess really brought the game to life, and the camaraderie among the players was a cherry on top. I left the session eager to play more, and I am already anticipating Susan's next gaming adventure. I would say this is a must play for fans of both cozy mysteries and Lovecraftian genres.

Wonderful at weaving player characters into the story, great at introducing new and indie systems to new players, fostered a safe, comfortable and fun place to role-play and try out new things.

Susan provided us with a great introduction to the rules of a new system, and helped us quickly build rapport. Fantastic GM.
Glenn
It was so much fun, fast moving, and weird (in a good way).
Relishira
Thoroughly enjoyed the game, and Susan really brought it to life.
Corenin
Susan is an impressive storyteller and world builder. You can tell Susan is an entertainer and an educator in her daily life. Susan is very inclusive and friendly, but also really knows her stuff. Great GM for beginners or more seasoned players. She also has a wealth of knowledge about other TTRPGs.
