A flame glows brightest in the dark….

Rolling Midnight Season One:

30 Candles

Played using the 10 Candles system, this trilogy of one-shots explores horror and tragedy in within three unique settings. From the wild west to suburban neighborhoods to vast wilderness, three groups of people will give everything they have to survive and escape the forces of darkness. If only that were enough….

No character will survive these stories, but they will not give up hope.

30 Candles features three unique casts and crews that collaborated to connect their one-shots through original music and sound design, worldbuilding shared between the different GMs, and recurring themes that arose organically from improv.

In the Old West, four prisoners find themselves loosed upon a dying world. What is it that awaits them out there? Angels? Devils? Men?
