Obojima: Whispers of the Spirit Vale | A Modern 5e Adventure
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Discover the enchanted island of Obojima, where vibrant spirits and humans live in harmony among lush landscapes dotted with mysterious 80's technology. Explore hidden shrines nestled in bamboo groves, bargain with mischievous yokai at moonlit markets, and unwind in steaming hot springs while cicadas sing their evening chorus. But paradise is in peril. The Corruption spreads across the island, twisting the once-beautiful land and its inhabitants into nightmarish versions of themselves. Sacred shrines darken, friendly spirits turn hostile, and the delicate balance between worlds begins to crumble. As your DM, I celebrate creativity and thoughtful play. Want to befriend that kappa instead of fighting it? Planning to repurpose that abandoned kei truck into a mobile potion lab? Your innovative approaches and imaginative solutions aren't just allowed—they're encouraged in this lo-fi fantasy adventure! Will you uncover the source of the Corruption while preserving Obojima's unique harmony? Can your party master the ancient art of potion-making to restore what was corrupted? Journey through misty mountains, sprawling rice fields, and bustling spirit markets in this cozy but consequential tale where saving the world doesn't always require a sword—sometimes it just needs a moment of quiet understanding.
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.

How to prepare
Players should have the following: - access to a webcam/mic - a dndbyond account (for building characters and accessing the campaign and map/VTT) - a discord account (for playing the game) - dice (virtual or physical)
What I provide
I will provide the dndbeyond campaign which has content sharing available so anything I own you can have access to as well, a discord server where we will play the game. I have a music bot in the server that will provide some nice background music and the occasional sound effect. I am a big believer and practitioner of the Rule of Cool and the "yes and" philosophy. Players can expect a rules light, roleplay heavy experience that focus on telling a good story.

A list of what safety tools I use can be found in my discord server, and we will go over them at the begin of the session, as well as having a brief session 0 at the start of the session
