Critical Role recently released "Candela Obscura," a gothic horror roleplaying game.
AdvertisementIn October, Critical Role, a crew of eight self-professed "nerdy-ass voice actors," played their long-running "Dungeons & Dragons" game at a sold-out Wembley Arena.
These qualities make O'Brien ideal for stepping into the game master role for "Candela Obscura," Critical Role's new gothic horror game, and he's leaning hard into the tragedy.
AdvertisementIt's also one of the more punishing gaming systems he's played in, O'Brien told me during our video call.
Mercer, the team's designated game master, is the one who crafts the narrative and controls how the story develops.
