May the Circle be Unbroken- Learn to Play Candela Obscura!

Creating your character

Character creation and crew creation will be done in session 0/0.5, utilizing the character creation rules in the book. If extra time is needed for character creation we will try to do it in the game's discord. The Roll20 server has the full rules compendium, so even if you don't have the book/pdf you should be able to create a character even without my help, but I will give as much assistance as you need. If your character falls, becomes unplayable, or you're just not feeling them, we can always discuss making a new one. As a note- we currently have 4 players and one seat available. We currently have a reporter, adventurer, detective, and professor.

Preparing for the session

Webcams are not necessary. Mic is required. Use of a web browser such as Chrome that is capable of running Roll20 is necessary. As far as rules comprehension the Roll20 game will have a rule compendiu6thm that anyone can study at any time. The system is very narrative focused and relatively light on rules, so players will have plenty of time to learn the crunch. Roll20 will also handle character sheets and dice rolling.

What Ross brings to the table

I have access to the Candela Obscura Roll20 module and rules compendium, which comes with detailed maps to work with, as well as a searchable rules document that I will provide guidance in using. I will guide them through the flavor of the setting so they can get the full immerse themselves in the system. If something is not covered by the rules, I'll make it work with over a decade of roleplaying experience. I will bring immersive soundscapes that will make you feel the cobbles of Newfaire through your boots.

How Ross creates a safe table

Welcome, from new players to experienced hands, to the world of Candela Obscura by Darrington Press, of Critical Role fame! You will play a recent recruit into the Candela Obscura, Newfaire's secret protectors from the dangers of corruptive magical energies and creatures run rampant. Other Chapters are losing members at an alarming rate, and it will be up to you to investigate. Your tight-knit unit of muscle, scholars, criminals, and mystics will solve mysteries, fight monsters from beyond the Flare, and try to give aid and comfort to those who are harmed by the forces of Magic. Before Session 0- Monte Cook's Consent in Gaming Checklist will be filled out and shared with the GM so I can tailor the experience to my players. Some things are not so negotiable (Candela Obscura is a horror game), but I can turn down certain features or crank others up depending on the needs of my players. During Session 0- We will discuss our lines and veils openly so we can have an enjoyable collaborative time with one another. I will do my best not to alienate or trigger anyone else in the group, and I expect the same from all players in the game. Session 1 and Beyond-X's, N's, and O's can be sent in DM's to me over discord, with a polite reminder to "check your DM's" if I'm caught up in the moment. If you feel comfortable sharing them with everyone, you may also send them in public chat or show them over video. After each session there will be a brief aftercare and discussion, and during the week between game my inbox is always open to discuss things in greater detail and length if it is needed.
