Candela Obscura: Trial Investigation | Free Game | LGBTQ+
Candela Obscura | One-Shot
About the adventure
*TRY BEFORE YOU BUY: FREE SESSION!* Welcome to Newfaire, investigator. Folks here have a tendency to ignore what they don't see or what they can't understand. We, unfortunately, do not have this luxury. As a member of Candela Obscura, you will take your character through a world of magic, mystery, and monstrosities as we protect the citizens of Newfaire from horrors beyond imagination. Join our campaign, create your own character, and investigate the haunted city of Newfaire in search of the things that go bump in the night. This game is 'theater of the mind' style so all you'll need is a character builder (provided by me via Demiplane), some D6 dice, and the power of your imagination in order to get started! This game is made for both beginner and experience TTRPG players so enlist today and become a member of our merry little Circle!
All games will be one shots from either the Core Rulebook or the 'Horrors of the Fairelands' expansion

How to prepare
Webcams are optional, but mics are necessary! This helps everyone to effectively communicate in game and to really build the roleplaying aspect of this game. Demiplane will be used for character creation, but if players would prefer PDF character sheets for a more 'old school' RPG feel, those can be provided as well. Discord will be used for communication, lore sharing, and general info dumping in-game to help with worldbuilding. Sourcebooks for Candela will be provided via Demiplane. Basic rules will be outlined during Session 0 and will be relayed and discussed as we play through each campaign. Never be afraid to ask a question if you're unsure of a game mechanic or rule!
What I provide
I will bring Demiplane materials which can be accessed online through their web portal. You will need a login (created through Google or Facebook, super simple!) in order to access the character builder and sourcebooks, which can be used to develop your character's lore and background details. I will also be utilizing a mood playlist and will have some artifacts/images to share with players during the game to set the stage for exploration and combat. I try to make sessions as immersive and engaging as possible for both players and GM! Tables are always LGBTQ+ friendly!
Gameplay details
An RPG checklist will also be provided to players in order to avoid triggering or sensitive topics for this session. Players experiencing discomfort or having issues with game topics are always welcome to message me during and after each game to discuss potential solutions for future sessions.

How will character creation work
Characters can be created prior to session 0 if a player feels comfortable doing so. Otherwise, session 0 will be devoted to introducing player characters, game mechanics, and general themes of the game. If players cannot develop their own character or are having trouble getting started, pre-made characters are available on Demiplane's nexus portal to choose from.
