Candela Obscura | Taking Actions in Combat

Combat and action scenes are two places that new Blades in the Dark (FitD) GMs struggle with. In this video I break down how characters act, how enemies move, and how to keep everyone engaged at the table when you play Candela Obscura, Apocalypse World (PbtA), and Fate/Fudge (Fate). With these tips you should be able to guide players through making actions like a seasoned "Fiction First" GM and get the most out of playing Critical Role's newest TTRPG.

If you're interested in starting your own game of CO or any game in that category, this series should get you up to speed and ready to both play or tell stories in that world.
