Super excited to introduce our COMBAT COASTERS! 🍺 They're perfect for keeping your game table fresh all while tracking things like damage, heals, and gold! Launching in store Feb 1!
The sooner the Dungeon Master realized their games were nothing more than every television show and video game they enjoyed, put into a blender, chugged, and regurgitated at their players in their own bumbling words, the sooner they became unstoppable.
Pride shirts are up on the site! 🏳️🌈 We made these in collaboration with
@PaolasPixels
! We’ll have some in the storefront mid June but you’ll get them faster via online order!
😁
Cool hashtag, I'm game!

Hi! Im Christoff and I'm the creator of Cantrip Candles! Ive spoken at a few ttrpg related panels at comic cons and hope to add a spark of magic and immersion to your life.
For the 10,000th time:
Stop. Buying. Things. From. Wish.
Yes, you found a cheaper version of the product you've been eyeing. You wanna GUESS WHY IT'S CHEAPER!?
I dunno, people who get by in this world through theft and counterfeit are lame AF.
Content idea: A weekly show where I describe what’s going on in Critical Role PURELY based on the fan art I come across.
Currently Caleb is banging a Drow twink and Mollymauk is basically a beholder.
Dnd: allowing you to quietly sit through your character's funeral and listen to all the nice things your party members have to say about the fallen hero.
Some folks came into the shop doubting that it was Black owned (I guess because the person on shift was white?) SOOOO now I guess I need a huge oil painting of myself hanging up in the storefront. Maybe with a plaque that says “the candle daddy”
Its one thing to live through a plague.
Another to live through a revolution.
To weather both simultaneously, is a feat of endurance.
Be well everyone!
🏳️🌈PRIDE IS ALMOST UPON US! We’ve revamped our Roll with Pride design in collaboration with
@PaolasPixels
and absolutely love it.
What’s even better? We’ve got shirts!! They’ll be available to order starting June 1st!
Pride Month is coming up and we've teamed up with
@Irrel
to bring you a pin that celebrates love for games AND equality. 🌈 Available for Pre-Sale through May 9! **MUST be placed as a separate order!**
Was writing something last night and realized I don't know my wood colors at all. Maybe this will help some DMs looking to boost their description stat
Your timeline will not always be a reminder to be anti-racist. Remaining vigilant against injustice is a personal duty. Make a commitment to yourself to speak up and take action when you see a situation unfolding.
We can slowly work to undo the crimes of our past.
I think one of the biggest reasons why CR found so much success is their camaraderie before the cameras ever came on.
Having a foundation of familiarity will go SO far for your stream. Y’all keep squeezing a bunch of strangers into a zoom call and think it’ll be smooth sailing.
*pours two hundred candles today*
Friend: This is great! You're set for days!
Me: This MIGHT be enough for inventory to hold for 2 mins.
Friend: oh... god.
*goes back to pouring candles with mad scientist eyes.*

Respectfully, and with the awareness that running a business is hard:
- why aren’t you drawing / contracting ✍🏽 your own assets? That’d be like us paying someone else to make our scents.
- why aren’t you using human eyes for verifications?
Honestly- it feels like the moment of BLM is slowing. Breonna Taylor's cops havent been arrested and there hasn't been a particularly strong change in policy as to guarantee equality.
The matrix shifted and made us comfortable again.
We had some time to rest. Get loud again!
We added some blue to the mix. (Nevada can you follow suit?)
We're pouring big candles again and this blue beauty might be at the bottom of your next one! 🔷️💙
Praise be to the player who takes notes.
Praise be to the player who summarizes potential quests.
Praise be to the player who breaks the role-play ice.
Introducing the Cantrip Candles characters! 🌟
Characters are a pillar of the tabletop gaming community and we created these lovely personas to represent various parts of our company! Check the thread below to meet them all :)

: Learn to leave your party alone. While NPCs are a great way to stir dialogue or share exposition, sometimes a party just needs to be alone on the road. Encourage them to fill the travel time with side conversations or roleplay moments that share their backstory. 🕯️
Nah. Don't do this.
I understand the frustrations. I understand the importance of customer service, but emails like this are just a snide stab.
It's not like we're TRYING to keep candles from you. It's in fact quite the opposite.
OK now I'm going to go play some DnD.
Leading up to to the Restock (Sunday June 14 12pm PST) I wanted to highlight some of the scents we offer! Starting with Sweet Fig Farmhouse! It's a citrusy, light, scent that's not sickly-sweet, but does have a sugary note to it.
Imagine fruit sitting in the late afternoon sun.
We're raising our prices starting March 14th. Costs of shipping and materials have increased over the last 2 years, and we can no longer absorb them.
To lessen the blow, we're offering a permanent 10% discount using code: THEPACT. Thanks for sticking with us and understanding.
Ok. That was overwhelming. Thank you deeply.
I'm going to go protest, take some deep breaths and I guess we start the new batches tomorrow!
Peace and love. ❤
ME: "Oh, I make candles themed after Dungeon & Dragons locations."
THEM: "Whoa, really cool! Which scent is the best seller?"
ME: "Well... right now... it's... its the pumpkin spice one."
THEM: ".... I mean it makes sense."

My therapist feigned not knowing a lot about d&d. Her asking me to elaborate was a way of pulling out deeper feelings and thoughts. When we finally ended years later she explained that her husband plays every week. Wasn’t even mad. Just impressed, and it worked!!
A customer today told me they got one of these for each of their players so that everyone could smell the same thing during a zoom call. I really like that story.
Hi! We're Cantrip Candles, makers of soy wax candles for use in tabletop games and immersion!
We're currently on a 2 week break after what's been quite the busy year! Our online shop and Hollywood storefront will be back up and running January 2021!
Be well! 🕯️
Breonna Taylor’s name is no longer trending and the police that murdered her are still free. If you see this please reply/quote/tweet on your own.

DUNGEON CASTING
This in house design features an ominous dungeon hall, hand cast with cement. We wanted to create a centerpiece that also doubled as a display for your miniatures when unlit. This, along with our other casting designs, will be available Tuesday Oct 18th at 10am.
Those of you who are still following me, thank you.
This has been a messy, trying time that's put me through the gauntlet of "I'm going to lose followers, and potentially sales if i speak up"
But this goes beyond business and I just wanted to say thank you for the support.
The pins FINALLY arrived! Sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience. We will now begin fulfilling orders! You will receive an email confirmation with tracking when your order is sent.
Your order is on its way! Today was the first day the team filled a mail truck. I'm brimming with excitement AND exhausted 😅.
As a note, Thanksgiving is slowing some delivery times a bit, but we're looking good for on-time preorder fulfillment. 💪🏾
Grief is- getting ready to start your Monday, realizing in the shower that today would have been mom's birthday, breakiNG DOWN in said shower, and somehow feeling more rested than i have in MONTHS after all of it.
Happy Birthday Mom- thanks for the ghost pep talk. 🥰🖤
This was such a positive, beautiful, uplifting PEACEFUL protest. Folks handing out water, hand sanitizer, and food. Amazing music. Practically EVERYONE wearing masks.
It was beautiful.
I’m often told by customers that they appreciate the transparency with which I try to run this company, so here’s more... transparency haha.
We’re still in “low power mode” in order to protect our mental health and as a result of supply shortages.
Yesterday was shocking and—-
Ah there it is. The quiet quiver of trauma that black men have to try to stifle on days like this. We have to try to quietly get on with our day even though another black man is dead because a cop didn’t know how to do their job.
Abolish the police.

's ruling on drinking a potion taking a full action. I've chugged an entire water bottle to prove that 4 ounces of fluid can be downed in less than 3 seconds!

Not to be a Debby downer, but why would Dr. Strange and Spiderman EVER consider a reality shifting spell after just having dealt with the consequences of Thanos.
That’s some Starlord level of stupidity, putting your own wants before THE UNIVERSE.
I’m still gonna watch it
