About the adventure
The winds are shifting. Around the edges of Obojima, the ocean churns with a ruthless darkness. Creatures chatter about the spirits going quiet. Others seem to be living the same day, over and over. Memories are fading at an alarming rate. Time itself is fading from consciousness. Small-town hopefuls are thrust into world-changing decisions that will permanently alter the way of life for this sleepy, homely, insular island known as Obojima. Townsfolk largely are unaware of the way the tides press ever-forward, and communities tend more to their festivals than they do that crawling, gnawing sense that there will be no... going... back. What's altering this way of life? Is the answer to press forward into the unknown and forge a new path, or to hold stalwart protecting the age that has come to pass. With memories of eons ago dotting the land in magical vending machines, cassettes, and more, our heroes will face a coming-of-age journey that shapes them just as much as it shapes the future of their sleepy towns and villages. OBOJIMA is a ghibli-inspired setting for DND 5e! Encounter strange spirits, discover rare oddities, and battle wild and wondrous creatures. In these tall grasses, create your own unforgettable narrative and cure the land of a dark, foreboding affliction.

About me
Hey there! If you're looking for a narrative, player-driven, inclusive experience - I'm your chef - no wait, game master! My gaming ingredients are: 🥩 protein-packed - I love games with real chewable moments for players. Dig into your feelings! 🫐 fruity - I'm a part of the LGBTQIA2+ community and my ideal games reflect all sorts of diversity, neurodivergence included <3 🥬 nutrient dense - love lore? love digging into complex and interconnected systems? we stan a story built around the players! ☕️ warm and cozy - I aim for an experience that draws players together and fills our buckets! Safety tools are a must! Check out the available games or contact me for a custom one-shot or campaign pitches! Here's a little bit more about my time in and out of the kitchen (game world!) I've gm'd and ran learn to play sessions, one-shots, mini campaigns, and full campaigns (30+ sessions, multi-year) for: 🎲 5e (2014, module and homebrew) 🎲 Powered by the Apocalypse system games (Brindlewood Bay, The Between, Monster of the Week, Avatar Legends) 🎲 Dicepool games (Blades in the Dark, R'lyehwatch RPG, and Slugblaster) 🎲 OSR games (Cairn, Mausritter, and Perils & Princesses) 🎲 one page games (Rat Chef, Lasers and Feelings, Cracker Barrel has Fallen, Boy Problems, Honey Heist, etc - really anything I can get my hands on.) I'm the ~librarian~ of my ttrpg circle, constantly backing or supporting new games on kickstarter, patreon, or drivethrurpg. I enjoy creating a homebrew experience or tailoring content for the game my players want - so they can shine in their roleplay, character growth, and community. What I love most as a player AND a GM are those GASP moments, where jaws are hanging open, players realize a woven plot thread, or we all collectively revel in major story moments.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character Creation will happen after a dedicated, mandatory session 0 to review safety, content allowed, and the supplement's specific subclasses, genre, mood. 2014 Dungeons and Dragons 5e ruleset. Character creation will happen in conjunction with the supplement OBOJIMA to ensure tone match, vibe, and connection to core plot. Homebrew must be explicitly approved before usage - I will provide a collaborative creation environment to really mesh characters to the immersive world and island they inhabit.
This GHIBLI-INSPIRED setting is perfect for those looking for a more roleplay-centric, whimsical, and cozy experience! A rightness of fit onboarding chat will happen prior to joining the campaign. Our current level three party is taking on some strange disappearances near the Temple of Shoom as: A Nakudaman College of Masks Bard A Dara Pact of the Lantern Warlock A Human Origami Mage An Elf Oath of the River Paladin
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a stable internet connection, a webcam, a mic, access to discord and google (both you can make for free!) They will need to review materials prior to our session but will not need to make a character until AFTER session 0. Eventually, players will need access to a free-tier account of AlchemyVTT.
What Syd (Shawk) brings to the table
I'll provide all the resources necessary to create a character and play the game, all via PDF and hosted online in a ttrpg-centric discord! I'll utilize ambient music when appropriate, a shared google sheet for our information - and we'll play with video on discord! I love to try character voices and give varied dynamics with all NPCs. This is a combat light, roleplay heavy low level dungeons and dragons game in which the players write the narrative of our collaborative story alongside me as the keeper! Players can expect a goofy tone with serious moments from time to time, a light sprinkling of cosmic mystery, and light-hearted antics alongside a cozy and creepy vibe!

Safety
How Syd (Shawk) creates a safe table
Your character may experience some violence as part of their investigation but has the option to be more or less careful about putting themselves in danger and to state/share any lines or veils around this prior to any roleplay. We will fill out a lines and veils sheet at the top of play and go over all safety tools for our digital game. Safety Tools: Lines & Veils, X-Card, CATS will all be in effect.
