Candela Obscura / An Unusual Assignment / Lawrenceville RPG Day 7

Something is wrong. It's been wrong for a while. You've been sent to find out how wrong.

Candela Obscura is a horror-investigation RPG set in a gas-lit city where the boundary between the mundane and the supernatural is thin, fraying, and actively dangerous. You play members of a secret society dispatched to investigate an anomaly — something that shouldn't exist, doing things that shouldn't be possible.

The system is built on the Illuminated Worlds engine: no hit points, no action economy, just a small pool of dice and the slow accumulation of scars, trauma, and irreversible change. The closer you get to the truth, the more it costs you.

Come ready to dig in, ask the wrong questions, and find out what's really out there.

No experience with the system is needed. Pre-generated characters provided.
