Candlelight Inquisition is a “Gothic Noir” indie tabletop roleplaying game (RPG) designed for a game master (GM) and 1 to 4 players (“Seekers”). Engage in investigation, social-political intrigue, and wrestle with your character’s internal psyche as they face opposition and uncertainty.
All you need to play Candlelight Inquisition is a copy of the rules, two six sided dice (2d6), paper, and a pencil. This RPG is best for long-running intrigue campaigns. However, its robust, narrative-focused systems (inspired by other RPG’s like “Blades in the Dark” and “Fate”) can handle any type of conflict. Seekers can be anyone, from rebel conspirators to state inquisitors, or even normal folk pulled into a mystery greater than themselves.
Learn about Candlelight Inquisition’s unique features, such as:
Archetypes: Character classes that model your character’s psyche.
Two-Question Search: Investigation mechanics that drive discovery of clues while maintaining risk.
Willpower & Trauma: Push yourself to overcome crises and horrors, but not without risking a lasting toll.
