Ten Candles - Learn how to play the One-Shot Tragic Horror RPG
Ten Candles | One-Shot
About the adventure
Ten Candles is a collaborative storytelling game set in a world where "Endless night has fallen. The world is ending. Monsters are coming." Ten days ago, the world went dark from an unknown cause. Civilization is starting to fall apart as generators fail and gas supplies started to diminish. Monsters of the darkness known as "Them" arrived, and now anyone who leaves the safety of light never returns. Players know that the game will eventually end in darkness and the deaths of all characters. The purpose of the game is to create a shared narrative about their last bit of time together, and how they survived long enough to create their story.

Gameplay details
This game can be brutal and potentially offensive. But that is all dependent on me as the Game Master and you as the player. Before the game begins, any player can list subject matter they'd rather not hear or play out in game.

How will character creation work
Character Creation in Ten Candles happens during the game, and you all make them together! It happens as follows: First you choose a positive trait for one player and a negative for another. Then we pick a setting. After that, create a person based off the 2 traits and the setting they'll be placed in. Figure out how they can find hope in such a situation. Finally set the limits for how far a character would go to try and survive.
