On this episode I'm so sorry for the background noise, the other player groups parked almost on top of our table this session.
Welcome to the Circle of Veritas, a Candela Obscura Real Play podcast by the Creative Play and Podcast Network. In the gaslit streets of Newfair, our brave circle of investigators faces ancient horrors, uncovering secrets while battling the supernatural. As they strive to protect the fragile veil of reality, listeners are taken on an atmospheric journey through the shadows that cloak their world.
Join Kelly, a.k.a. Trixie from Ragnarok and Roll, as she thanks listeners for supporting varied adventures and invites support on Patreon for more thrilling podcasts and surprises. Our circle navigates talents, relationships, and the eerie mysteries of a supernatural tome to collect gear and build trust. Can they maintain discretion and unity while facing the darkness that watches in waiting?
As new alliances form and old tensions fade, the investigators are summoned to the Librum Veritas to unravel secrets hidden in the heart of the Briar Green District. With every roll of the dice and strategic alliance, the line between the familiar and the unknown blurs. Stay vigilant, for in the shadows, ancient truths stir.
Our first full episode of The Circle of Veritas, our Candela Obscura campaign, is now live! In Session 1, our newly-formed Circle is summoned to the bookshop Librum Veritas and sent into their first case: mysterious deaths in a graveyard, sigils of ash and bleed etched into flesh, and rumors of war-dead walking again…
The circle must unravel the truth behind the haunted coin, lost soldiers, and a dark cult on the rise.

The Grim Reaper: Funeral and Mourning Customs in the 19th CenturyRecorded live on 3/20/2025 5:30pm in Ballroom E
Our spectacular hosts are Madame Perry, Tracy Chan, and Beverly Stuart.
Our panel will take a deep dive into all the thingsyou ever wanted to know about death in Victoriantimes but were afraid to ask! Death was consideredan ordinary part of life back in the day. Most peopledied at home and were buried fairly quickly andclose by. Preserving the body became popular duringthe Civil War with the development of embalming.Mourning customs were very specific – what youcould wear, and for how long, and for whom (parents,spouses, children all had different mourning periods). Photographing the departed was also commonlydone. And then there were the fake mediums, charlatans who proclaimed they could summon the deadby staging seances (and ripping off grieving people).
