Candela Obscura | How to use Blades in the Dark clocks

In this episode of my Running Candela Obscura series, I talk about one of my favourite mechanics from Blades in the Dark: Clocks. These are a great resource to add to any tabletop roleplaying game. Clocks are a way of measuring progress and handling tasks too complex to resolve with a single roll.

This is the 4th in my series on running Candela Obscura, and 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.
