id=\"caption-attachment-338317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From left to right: Isa, Shannae, Jacob, &amp; Wan. Photography: Ashe Liao<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lore Obscure was created by a quartet of friends \u2013 Isa Foong, Wan Nur Fadhillah, Shannae Desker, and Jacob Folkler. A creative director, tech project lead, graphic designer, and freelance actor, respectively, in their previous lives, the group now manages their tabletop game studio full-time together. When asked how Lore Obscure was created, I was told, \u201cWan leapt, and we jumped in after her.\u201d Cue an eruption of laughter.<\/p>\n<p>The four were already seasoned lore masters when the idea of Lore Obscure came about, each with their own unique origin story and method. Then, their paths converged, leading to the birth of Lore Obscure in 2024. Since its inception, the brand has already hosted over 1,000 games with players ranging from complete beginners to seasoned dice rollers.<\/p>\n<p>The brand draws inspiration from Southeast Asian mythology and Nusantara folklore, creating uniquely localised campaigns. In a heavily Western-influenced hobby like Dungeons &amp; Dragons, Lore Obscure offers players easily recognisable and relatable storylines. Even I was surprised by the sense of comfort I felt when I realised our campaign was set in Asia!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"first-impressions-from-a-first-timer\"><\/span>First impressions from a first-timer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_338315\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-338315\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-338315 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/lore-obscure-dungeons-and-dragons-ttrpg-review-singapore-.gif\" alt=\"lore obscure dungeons and dragons ttrpg review singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-338315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sam and I trying to stay in character (it was harder than it looked). Photography: Ashe Liao<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After navigating the rather confusing corridors of People\u2019s Park Complex, I finally stumbled upon Lore Obscure\u2019s door. And entered a whole other realm! The team dedicated a lot of effort to curating the atmosphere of the space, adding to the fantastical aura. From lights and music to even olfactory cues, it was like I had entered a portal.<\/p>\n<p>I visited during the grand opening where fellow players and I were split into random groups to determine what type of game we would play. Three different (role-play games) RPG systems were being used that night. I ended up with Wan, who hosted a Powered by the Apocalypse system. She described it as a storytelling-focused game style, where players build the story and world, and the lore master shapes it around players\u2019 inputs.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll admit \u2013 I\u2019ve played role-play-style games before, so the method wasn\u2019t completely foreign to me. However, I\u2019ve never played a character in-person before, so I was nervous about what role-playing in real life looked like.<\/p>\n<p>After doing quick introductions and setting the mood with lights and sound effects, Wan began to shape the world. She told a tale of a princess with a curse, and guided us through our character setups. Despite being worried about saying the \u201cwrong\u201d thing, I found myself immersed and audaciously in character. All my senses were engaged \u2013 including my sense of smell! I swear I got a whiff of pandan at the mention of it halfway through the game.<\/p>\n<p>Encouraged by my fellow players, I tried not to worry about being profound and picked actions that felt natural. Once I figured out I had free will, there was no stopping me from using my powers every second!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"made-for-all-kinds-of-players\"><\/span>Made for all kinds of players<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_338316\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-338316\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-338316 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/lore-obscure-dungeons-and-dragons-ttrpg-review-singapore-2-900x643.png\" alt=\"lore obscure dungeons and dragons ttrpg review singapore (2)\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/lore-obscure-dungeons-and-dragons-ttrpg-review-singapore-2-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/lore-obscure-dungeons-and-dragons-ttrpg-review-singapore-2-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/lore-obscure-dungeons-and-dragons-ttrpg-review-singapore-2.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-338316\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Isa and Jacob\u2019s layouts for their games. Photography: Ashe Liao<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Beyond Wan\u2019s Powered by the Apocalypse system, I took a gander at the other rooms to see what else I could have experienced.<\/p>\n<p>Isa introduced me to his Wuxia-inspired Dungeons &amp; Dragons setup, which uses a D20 system. Despite being distilled into its core elements to keep the game more straightforward, Isa\u2019s game had the intricate details you\u2019d find in traditional Dungeons &amp; Dragons games. Think stat pages and granular character quirks!<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Jacob employed a 10 Candles system, a popular style for one-time campaigns. The objective is not to survive, but to find meaning in a story where everyone meets their demise. Played in a dark room, each candle is extinguished to mark the ends of scenes for that added immersion.<\/p>\n<p>All of this to say, there are many versions of the game, and not all of them require long-term commitment.<\/p>\n<p>A collective goal for the team was to introduce tabletop role-playing games in an environment that would be as unintimidating as possible. \u201cSometimes the hardest part is even getting people to a table in the first place,\u201d Wan explains. Beginners are invited to join any game at their convenience, experience a session of D&amp;D for themselves, and build the interest from there.<\/p>\n<p>With Crash Courses and Flash Games to Voyages and Sagas, Lore Obscure offers a variety of games for many types of players. You can even request a customised campaign, or book a room to host a private campaign.
