r/CandelaObscura

Hi everyone. So, as the title says, I'm seriously starting up my own West Marches-style campaign using Candela Obscura. I've run the system before and loved the ease and accessibility it offered, especially to new TTRPG players. I'd love to hear from anyone who’s tried to run something similar. Curious how well you think the Candela system lends itself to that kind of structure.

For those who have run or played something similar:

• What worked particularly well?
• What problems did you run into?
• Did you change how you structure assignments, downtime?
• Did you explore the shared world differently like a traditional West Marches campaign?
• Are there any house rules or changes you’d recommend?
• Thoughts on how to tackle or amend the way in which you directly tie in characters' backstories and ideas into Candela, given that it is not being played in a West Marches style.
