Ten Candles - Virtual Tabletop
A downloadable website
This is a virtual tabletop for the tabletop roleplaying game Ten Candles. Check it out at https://tencandles-vtt.vercel.app/!
All the following info is taught in the app so no need to read this if you want to get started right away. But if you'd like to read a quick overview before jumping in, here are things you can do in the app:
- Create a room as the GM and share the generated URL to your players so they can join that room
- Click on the candles to light or extinguish them
- Roll dice by clicking the "Roll" button
- Drag dice (including the blue Hope die) between the player dice pool, GM dice pool, and dice stash
- Create cards for Vices, Virtues, etc. and pass them to other players
- See the above actions happening between all the players in real time
- Change the font from a pixel font to a more accessible font (see screenshot #2)
Please note that it won't work very well on mobile or small screens, but you can try zooming out or using the "Desktop site" setting in a mobile browser.

This worked really great for my group's session! We are all online because I moved away, and this app really kept us in the terrified mood needed for Ten Candles. Thanks for developing this - I had been worried about doing this game online, but it ran so smoothly because of your app! Only issues we had was people losing their cards when they dropped (the dropping was because of internet troubles during a terrible storm, not the app), and this was easily rectified by them just remembering the cards they had and recreating them.
I'm so glad it worked for your group! And thanks for bringing up that issue, I think I know how to make it so you retain your cards even if you lose your internet, so I'll add that to my list of tasks
Amazing app! Can't wait to see furhter developement on this!
Thanks! You comment helped push me to start working on it again after a break. I'm almost finished building out all the features so stay tuned!
I’m glad to read that! If you need any suggestions or want to comment anything, just let me know! We can discuss vis Discord or whatever you want!
Thanks, the final version is out now so let me know if you find any bugs or have suggestions! (although i can't promise i'll make substantial changes to the app anytime soon)
This is so cool! I've been trying to find a way to play Ten Candle online, so this is perfect for that.
Thanks Ennio! I think it'll really shine when you're able to create a stack of your character traits, etc. and burn them. That'll be a December task though since I'm spending November writing a new game!
