About the adventure
Ten Candles is a post-apocalyptic game where no one makes it out alive. Made for people who love narrative horror and collaborative storytelling, this adventure challenges players to fight against unseen dangers, and above all, hold on to the hope of a brighter tomorrow. This specific adventure takes place in a world where, ten days ago, the sky turned dark, and tomorrow never came. A group of survivors have found shelter together but supplies are quickly running out and the monsters that make the shadows their home are coming ever closer. There is one hope though: a lone voice on the radio, with a promise of safety for those who can reach it. This is a Horror style game, with this specific arc drawing on inspirations such as The Mist, Alan Wake, and Darkness Falls.

About me
Hey! My name's Jacob, and I've been a fan of tabletop games for almost two decades, initially playing many games of the Powered by the Apocalypse system, before returning to TTRPGs, and D&D specifically, during Covid. I've been a DM since, playing mainly Dungeons and Dragons, and dabbling in others like Daggerheart, Ten Candles, and Candela Obscura! I'm an actor and creative outside of this, and love the collaborative storytelling environment that TTRPG's provide, with everyone bringing their own personal take to every session, character, and story.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Group chat is run over discord, and the rooms are created through a Ten Candles specific VTT, which will be linked in the Discord
What Jacob Stewart (DiceDropbear) brings to the table
As a GM, I do my best to make each and every character feel distinct. I might not be Matt Mercer level, but I'm gonna give it my all. This game specifically is very narrative forward, so will be very gritty and will lean into the horror aspect.

How Jacob Stewart (DiceDropbear) creates a safe table
When signing up for the session, I will send out a form with which you can anonymously submit your lines and veils, which will be laid out at the beginning of the session. If something veers close to a line, feel free to send an X card through whichever mode feels most comfortable. There will also be at least 15 minutes after to debrief and cooldown from the session, especially as Ten Candles can get very intense.
