A Vigília and Ordem Paranormal RPG 2: a guide to playing

A Vigília brings the Ordem Paranormal RPG 2 playtest to Cellbit's new game. To play after watching, start with the playtest material and its matching character sheet. The broadcast helps you observe a session; the rules text guides what your group will apply.

This guide was prepared on October 23, 2026, before the announced October 31 premiere. It provides official study references and an original idea for bringing an investigative atmosphere to your own game. Dates and channels are covered in A Vigília: when it premieres and where to watch.

A Vigília, RPG 2 and A Maldição do Ídolo de Pedra

The three names appear together in promotion, with different roles:

| Name | What you will watch or use | | --- | --- | | A Vigília | The broadcast RPG special with Cellbit as GM | | Ordem Paranormal RPG 2 | The rules system project in development | | A Maldição do Ídolo de Pedra | The adventure presented as the first Playtest Alpha |

This distinction helps you choose material. Seeking the playtest means looking for a rules reference and a test adventure. Following A Vigília means watching another story with its own situations and choices.

Coverage of the Segredos Revelados 2026 announcement connects the new campaign with the developing system. For a primary rules reference, use Cellbit's official Playtest Alpha video.

Where to start studying the rules

The official guide has chapters that let you organize study by subject. These links are study shortcuts, to use alongside the explanation and playtest material:

| Your goal | Official video section | | --- | --- | | Understand initial character choices | From 1:38 | | Follow tests and dice use | From 6:11 | | Find the explanation of character resources | From 11:17 | | Study how an investigation is run | From 28:50 | | Understand the relationship between places and discoveries | From 31:08 |

Watch with your sheet nearby and write concrete questions: which field needs filling, which resource changes and what should happen in this situation? These questions make review with the GM easier.

For the material, begin with Jambô's Arquivos Secretos and check the package's access conditions and those of each act. Do not assume that every part of a release has the same availability. Use the version your group can actually access and agree on.

Prepare the matching playtest sheet

On Mini Kraken, open the Ordem Paranormal II Playtest page. Choose that template for the test material. The first-edition sheet remains a separate option for campaigns using those rules.

Use this preparation sequence:

1. Confirm the playtest version and instructions with the GM.
2. Create the character using the matching template.
3. Make choices and fill values according to the creation material.
4. Review resources, skills and the options you expect to use frequently.
5. Make a sample roll and check that changes saved before the session.

Our Ordem Paranormal RPG 2 automatic sheet guide covers the template in more detail. If you have a first-edition character, copying their numbers does not constitute conversion between systems. Agree on playtest character creation with the GM.

What to observe while watching A Vigília

To turn a broadcast into a useful game reference, note a decision's context before its outcome. What did the character want to discover? Which information was already available? When did the GM request a test? What changed after the choice?

Try this observation record:

• Situation: what the team encountered.
• Intention: what the character tried to do.
• Procedure: how the GM handled the action.
• Consequence: which information, resource or risk changed.
• Question: what to check in the playtest material.

This gives you more to work with than memorizing dice results. The relationship between intention, information and consequence can help you prepare a session. This is Mini Kraken's study suggestion, rather than a procedure announced specifically for A Vigília episodes.

An original investigation with a medieval horror mood

A Vigília's announced premise involves a medieval community during Samhain. You can begin with the idea of an isolated community and create a different case with your own people and mystery. The following original example does not describe events in Cellbit's campaign.

Case: the bell on the empty path. On the night of a celebration, a bell-ringer's apprentice disappears. The bell rings at each shift change, although nobody is seen in the tower. Three people heard it coming from different places, and each kept an object found after the first toll.

Prepare three investigation points: the apprentice's home, the celebration storehouse and the path to the tower. At each place, leave a discovery pointing to a person or another location. In the GM notes, establish what causes the tolls, where the apprentice is and what can stop the phenomenon.

For example, a shift record links the apprentice to the storehouse; a piece of cloth identifies a side passage; a witness saw someone take it. These clues enable action. Choose tests and dangers using your group's rules and characters.

For a document to hand out, adapt a note template and consult the Ordem Paranormal handout guide. A message made with the sigil translator can work as an optional clue if the group has a way to interpret it.

Arrange a first session before a long campaign

A short adventure lets you explore the rules and group dynamics. Arrange a conversation about schedule, horror tone, character creation and recording playtest questions. After the game, review what worked and what needs checking.

The guide to playing Ordem Paranormal RPG helps with organization. If you still need players, use the introduction template in how to find an Ordem Paranormal group.

For a more detailed preparation structure, the first Ordem Paranormal mission guide offers another original case. It covers narrative organization; adapt any rules to the system chosen for your session.
