Ten Candles - A Roleplaying Game of Tragic Horror

```
Ten Candles is a zero-prep tabletop storytelling game designed for one-shot sessions of tragic horror. It is best played by the light of ten tea light candles (we use the electric kind for safety) which provide atmosphere and act as a countdown timer for the game. Ten Candles is described as a "tragic horror" game rather than survival horror for one main reason: in Ten Candles there are no survivors.

In the final scene of the game, when only one candle remains, all of the characters will die. In this, Ten Candles is not a game about "winning" or beating the monsters. Instead, it is a game about what happens in the dark, and about those who try to survive within it. It is a game about being pushed to the brink of madness and despair, searching for hope in a hopeless world, and trying to do something meaningful with your final few hours left.

It's designed for adults and mature teens who can handle intense themes and emotional storytelling. It is not intended for young children. We will be putting an age restriction on attendees - you must be at least 17 years of age to attend, and we ask that an adult guardian be present.

Anyone younger than 17 who attempt to sign up will be removed from the MeetUp, and asked to leave if they arrive at the event.

Thanks from all of us at Ettin Games for your attention to this.
