I am currently running through Candlekeep Mysteries for the first time. It's a really interesting set of one-off adventures that I'm pulling together into a full levels 1-16 campaign, just by adding a few extra connecting points. There are several articles and videos online with ideas for doing this, and things to tweak about the adventures if you're planning on having your PCs stay in Candlekeep awhile. The background information about the keep itself is fantastic--where else can you find the not-so-sane ghost of a silver dragon bound in a basement? Unfortunately this wonderful character does not show up in an adventure, but she does have a stat block so DMs can work her in wherever they need to. The adventures I've run so far have been fun; the ones coming up look terrific. There are a couple I've been advised to skip, but doesn't every adventure anthology have a couple of duds? All in all, a solid pick and really fun to play through.

Nikko is easily the best GM I have ever sat across the table from. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing Candela Obscura with him. His music choices and descriptions are on point, allowing for a great immersive experience--perfectly creepy for the genre. Anything we could think of to do he would find a way to make it fit; I never felt like I didn't have an option or a role to play in his game. He is the perfect choice for beginners; he led us through the rules of the game point by point, teaching as the game went on. He is patient and his voice is warm and inviting. As a GM he is fantastic; as a person I found him interesting, funny, personable and enjoyable to be online with! In addition, he took the time to give me some great ideas for my own creative endeavors. I can confidently say that my time on this planet has been enriched by Nikko. If all of that isn't enough of an endorsement, consider this: as a lifelong serious night owl, I woke up 3 hours earlier than usual every week to take part in Nikko's game. Very little else could get me up that early--he is a great choice for a game master.

Most fun I've had on Wednesday nights in a long time!
