Welcome to Candela Obscura! We'll be running at The New Union. As much as I hate to say we can't fit anyone, the game is currently full. **What's needed to play** 📒 A way of taking notes is strongly advised, but I'll have a few extra notebooks and pencils available. 🎲 Candela uses 9d6, and 3 need to be visually distinct from the others (I've got plenty of spare dice if you only have DnD sets) 📲 Having a fully charged phone will mean we don't all have to read the same book [https://online.anyflip.com/evhzc/uqcm/mobile/index.html](https://online.anyflip.com/evhzc/uqcm/mobile/index.html) **House Rules (because I wanna)** 🥜 Whoever brings the best snacks will have the option to use my extremely fancy set of special Candela Dice. 😮 I'll be trialing my custom PvP rule. There's no pressure to put it to the test, but here it is:- It's OK to try any anti-social inter PC actions (apart from stuff that would break other rules about being civil at the table). However, the "victim" will always have the following 3 options: 🎲Letting the dice decide (exactly as you would if it was a PvP game) ✌Victim automatically succeeds in their defense (The suggested action automatically fails and the GM decides any consequences; there's no option to abandon the attempt on this one.) 🤔Victim sets the DC i.e. "you want to glue an ornamental wooden pumpkin to my head while I sleep? OK, but the DC is 35, and if you fail, you trip over and fall into the campfire, taking 2d6 fire damage". If the "aggressor" still wants to try, they still can, or they can abandon the action like it was never suggested.
