Candela Obscura uses the Illuminated Worlds system, which is Darrington Press’ own D6-based RPG system, devised by Stras Acimovic and Layla Adelman. The game is set in the (fictional) world of Fairelands during a post-war industrial boom; the setting is inspired by Victorian-era aesthetics, with some ancient magicks thrown in. Here’s how the press release puts it: “Within the secret society Candela Obscura, individuals of varied talents work as a team — known as a circle — to investigate strange occurrences and dangerous magick, fighting back against a mysterious source of corruption and bleed.”
If you haven’t already watched the entire actual play series, Critical Role’s video on how to play Candela Obscura will likely help.
The Candela Obscura book comes in two versions: standard hardcover ($39.99) and limited edition hardcover ($59.99), the latter of which boasts “faux leather with an exclusive cover design, debossed and filled with metallic ink.”
