Obojima: Tales From The Tall Grass
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
This short campaign takes players through three adventures from Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass (1985 Games). Obojima is a world full of magic and spirits; where people live and explore, and where there are festivals for every occasion. Although life here is mostly idyllic with farmers tilling their fields and shepherds tending to their sheep dragons, there is plenty of adventure to be had. Travelers will find their fair share of it by simply walking from village to village, following rumors and spirit companions, and allowing the strange and wonderful tales of the tall grass to unfold. "The Curious World Within”: The adventurers have decided to help out a young postal knight and find themselves shrunk to the size of a mouse when they infiltrate a witch’s workshop in hopes of procuring a letter. “Below The Shallows”: The adventurers are called to help a young boy recover his grandfather’s kite-plane, which was hijacked by fish folk and crashed into the Shallows. “Lost Within The Crawling Canopy”: The adventurers have saved Miga, a dara novelist, and Goose, her beloved dog companion from a dangerous howler attack, only to be surrounded and engulfed by the Crawling Canopy—a moving forest that roams the Gale Fields.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

How to prepare
You will need a mic for Discord. Webcam is optional. A beginner level understanding of D&D 5E rules is necessary to play the game but I'm happy to help newer players learn as we go. You will need your character sheet and dice (either physical or virtual depending on your preferences).
What I provide
I will provide access to the full range of character options from the book, access to D&D Beyond, as well as a private Discord server in which to play the game.
Gameplay details
Generally speaking, this campaign is meant to be played like one of the more carefree Ghibli movies.
