I am still going to events I planned for the launch (Tiny Minotaur on Aug 5th for launch party) (TFEST Aug 7th-9th) to demo the game and still to SELL the game. However, we will be selling the PDF and Physical Preorder, instead of having books on hand.

Candlelight Inquisition RPG @candlelightrpg.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
The digital PDF of the core rules WILL STILL RELEASE AUG. 5th. This means: - Kickstarter Backers will receive the PDF (and all other digital rewards) on August 5th. - The digital core PDF will be available to purchase starting August 5th on DriveThruRPG, itch io, and RPGTrader.

Candlelight Inquisition RPG @candlelightrpg.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
The hardcover is now *estimated* to release late September, this means: - Kickstarter Backers will have the book and all their physical rewards shipped starting around that time. - The hardcover will be available to purchase around that time on webstores such as DriveThruRPG or IPR.

Sad News: The hardcover of Candlelight Inquisition will NOT be releasing August 5th as originally planned. Due to major problems with our printer, it will be shipping out late September at my estimate. But the PDF will still release Aug 5th! More details in thread. www.youtube.com/shorts/uSs-C...

"The passive consumption of content that most ttrpgs tend to espouse" I feel this is insightful. Often in RPGs, I observe players (and myself as a player) wanting to participate more in the narrative but having no clear opening to, leading to passivity. A good GM can help, but so should the system.

Candlelight Inquisition RPG @candlelightrpg.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
I want to be clear I think the collaborative storytelling approach to RPGs is very good and has great potential for new design, but I think that old format still has an equal merit. My own interest is how to give players more control over systems & narration *without* breaking the lens of character.
140
Candlelight Inquisition RPG @candlelightrpg.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
It might sound old school, but there is also value in players *not* having explicit control of systems & narration outside of their character. Some players enjoy to be fully immersed in their characters, and making decisions outside the lens of character reminds them their character is artifical.

My haul from FreeRPGDay. I got to play the bottom one—Candlelight Inquisition—with its lead (and I believe SOLE) designer. He seemed pretty cool, and it seems like a pretty fun game so far, so I’d recommend anyone who’s into RPGs or curious about them to check it out at @candlelightrpg.bsky.social
