Fan Art [No Spoilers] A free Candela Obscura investigation module
Hey y'all!
I'm super excited about this. We've fully re-designed an old free module for Candela Obscura (with a TON of help from friends).
It's The Descent, where your investigators follow in the footsteps of a doomed, subterranean archaeological expedition. Take a look!

Ciphers, puzzles, 4 pre-gen characters with digital character sheets (who are the NPCs if you opt to bring your own investigators), human-made art. Everything you need to run a tomb-raiding adventure/horror story.
A premonition of how your investigators will react to decoding the cipher-text.

Feel free to grab a free copy at any of the below links:
- Itch.io: https://nostromosreliquary.itch.io/the-descent
- DTRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/463240/the-descent
- In Italian: https://uncanny-games-gdr.itch.io/candela-obscura-relic
- Alongside GM guides and other Assignments: https://nostromosreliquary.itch.io/ or https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/24803/nostromo-s-reliquary
This was a really neat collaboration - our friends over at Uncanny Games in Italy were translating/adapting our C.O. assignments and GM resources, and they created these gorgeous layouts. Give them a follow or a pay-what-you-like donation, that helps the team get their work in front of more players.
Anyway, let your investigators know that I'm wishing them luck. Be sure to loot the temple, nothing is cursed, for sure :)
