Circles and Assets
A downloadable game
Circles and Assets is an unofficial 30 page supplement to Candela Obscura that provides players with fun, exciting options to expand the game.
- Circle Types let players specialize their circle's area of study and replace the standard circle abilities with new, focused choices
- Assets give investigators new tools (people, places, things) to complete their assignments and build out their Newfaire.
Players can use these circle types to approach the same game in different ways, possibly drawing from other popular fictional touchstones and secondary genres to improve the replayability of the game. For example, last campaign you may have played as Investigators, but now want more of a spy thriller experience playing as Custodians.

- 5 new circle types to spice up your campaigns:
- Archivists: Scholars and researchers, adept at studying and manipulating phenomena
- Custodians: Information gatherers and influencers, adept at safeguarding the order's interests

- Stitchers: Sanitization experts, adept at containing bleed and restricting awareness of magick
- Vanguard: First responders and protectors, adept at direct de-escalation and saving bystanders
- 30 new circle abilities to empower your characters
- 18 new pieces of unique circle gear to tell your circle's story

- Connections are professionals willing to aid in Candela's cause
- Equipment are alchemical tools pulled from Oldfairen ruins
- Facilities are locations that upgrade your circle's chapter house
- Example investigations and NPCs from each circle type
- Roll tables to come up with new circles on the fly

Hi, I am an Italian game designer and a forged in the dark / Candela Obscura enthusiast. I've realized an Italian unofficial translation of the QS for Candela, trying to spread the love for the game in Italy, and I'm looking for new Candela Obscura content to translate. Wuold you be intersted in let me translate you work? Can we find some kind of deal? It seems to add a great deal to the game
In the main pdf I see a sixth circle type of "Investigators", but in the circle sheets there are only five and that is the one missing.
And of course when I asked my players if they wanted to try one of these new circle types, that's the one they wanted!
Hey, thanks for messaging! The "Investigators" crew is just the default circle type from the core Candela Obscura book (page 41).
Due to how they've worded their Community Gaming License, I'm not able to create a circle sheet for them (but the one on the Candela Obscura Darrington Press site should work just fine for them).
