Candela Obscura is a monthly horror series played in the Candela Obscura tabletop roleplaying game, built on the Illuminated Worlds system.[1] It is an anthologized series divided into three-episode chapters, each following a new circle played by a new cast and telling a standalone narrative. The series premiered premiered on May 25, 2023, and as of January 2024, a fourth chapter has been announced.
Premise[edit | edit source]
In the year 1907, in a world similar to but different from our own, an esoteric order of investigators called Candela Obscura fight against "a mysterious source of corruption and bleed" in the city of Newfaire in the Fairelands, a coastal valley of magick within the fictional country Hale. Each episode, a circle of investigators solves a new mystery.[1][2]
It is played in the game of the same name.
Cast[edit | edit source]
Each chapter of Candela Obscura follows a different circle of investigators and features a rotating cast.
Taliesin Jaffe, who co-created the Candela Obscura game, appears in all chapters as the Lightkeeper, an otherwise unnamed role.[3][1] The character is "a steward for the audience" and narrates the episode prologues. Taliesin described the role as "a bit of a Rod Serling [in The Twilight Zone], but with some interesting in-universe connections that will be revealed in time."[4] Within the world and game itself, a Lightkeeper is a veteran of Candela Obscura who is retired from field work; they guide the investigators and give the circles their mission.[5] Taliesin is additionally a player in the Chapter 4: The Crimson Mirror, during which he also remained as the unnamed Lightkeeper.[6]
Chapter 1: Vassal & Veil[edit | edit source]
Chapter 1 follows the Circle of the Vassal & the Veil and features the following cast:
- Laura Bailey as Arlo Black, Weird (Specialty: Occultist)

Jean is a surgeon with "an uncanny knack for putting bodies back together". She is skeptical of the use of magick, having seen it do more harm than good.

Production and crew[edit | edit source]
The Candela Obscura series is produced by Vinnie Singh, Maxwell James, and Steve Failows (who also acts as the Director). The Candela Obscura game was created by Taliesin Jaffe and Chris Lockey with lead design and writing by Spenser Starke and Rowan Hall.[1][37] Michael Schmidt was the director of photography. Aaron Monroy was the series art director, and graphic design was by Jordyn Torrence.[38] Lisa Fricke illustrated the character portraits, and Jennifer Newman selected costumes for the cast. The soundtrack for the series was composed by Colm McGuinness.[39][40]
The set for the first chapter of Candela Obscura was conceptualized by Steve Failows,[41] designed by Shaun Ellis (who also did concept art for the setting's Quickstart Guide and for the show), and constructed by Flip This Bitch.[38] They developed a storage hall, which Shaun called the "Abyssal Hall", and put a variety of esoteric objects behind the players, as well as setting up a combination of an astrolabe and a clock in a single contraption behind the Game Master (GM). The preshow art piece seen in the Twitch pre-roll has a section from the final concept art of the set in the bottom left. Ellis also designed the GM screen, mostly focusing on its top half, since this is the only portion of the screen visible on stream.[42] Noxweiler Ignatius Berf was responsible for effects, miniatures, and, alongside Flip This Bitch, set dressing.[38][43][44]
The enclosure on the set for Taliesin Jaffe in the trailer is meant to symbolize the lantern room on the top of a lighthouse but without a source of light. It was also designed by Ellis.[42]
Chapter 1 premiered while the game's core rulebook was in final stages of development.[45]
Episodes[edit | edit source]
Each chapter of Candela Obscura is composed of three self-contained episodes, and each chapter follows a stand-alone arc.[1][19] Episodes usually premiere on Twitch and YouTube on the last Thursday of the month. The YouTube VODs and podcast versions were initially released two weeks later.[1] During Chapter 2, in response to how this schedule made it more difficult to remain caught up on the series, the schedule changed to release VODs the following Monday, the same timetable as Critical Role.[46]
The series premiered on May 25, 2023.[1] The first episode of Chapter 2, in addition to the Twitch and YouTube broadcasts, also premiered in Cinemark Theatres on August 31, 2023,[19][47] and its last episode was moved to November 2, 2023 to accommodate "The Mighty Nein Reunion: Echoes of the Solstice" (OSx54) on October 26, the last Thursday of the month.[48] Chapter 3 premiered on November 30, 2023. To avoid airing an episode over the channel's typical December holiday break, the second and third episodes both aired in January 2024.[30] Lockey, on Twitter, suggested that the three chapters comprise the first season of Candela Obscura.[49]
