About the adventure
Welcome to the Island of Obojima, 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. You will find your 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. Beyond the tall grass, a corruption begins to take root, morphing usually peaceful creatures into demons and incredible forces of destruction as nature itself seems to fight back against itself. Can you find the root of the corruption and stop it before it's too late? Or will the island of Obojima be claimed by the terrifying force of the corruption? This is an RP and Exploration Heavy Campaign, taking place on the Island of Obojima from the "Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass" Campaign setting. This campaign will start at 1 and continue to level 20 and takes heavy inspiration from franchises such as Studio Ghibli and the Legend of Zelda series!

About me
🐿️Hey guys, Squirrel here!🐿️ 😮With over 1 year and over 400 games under my belt, I've realized that if you work hard enough you can truly turn your passion into work. And as they say if you love your job, you never work a day in your life! With 10+ years TTRPG experience and a lifelong love for acting (including some time as a scare actor) I thrive to bring my players moments that they will talk about for a VERY long time! 🎲During my session you can expect fantastic storytelling, a passion for collaborative storytelling, Individual NPC voices as well as patience to help players of all skill levels! Everyone starts somewhere, so why not start here and let's build your story together! 🫂Outside of StartPlaying I also run an AWESOME community of people! Our community holds itself to be inclusive to all people, no matter of ANY difference! (Yes, that includes skill difference! We will help you out~ 😛) No matter the table, I've always found myself surrounded by some of the coolest people! So what are you waiting for? Sign up for a game and meet some of the coolest people around! 🎆Well Gamers, Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! Hope to see you around the table, and may your Ds always be 20!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation can be done on your own time or with help from me. You should be level 1, with starting equipment and Stats done via Point Buy OR Standard Array. All races and classes from all official sourcebooks and Obojima are acceptable, homebrewed content must be first approved by me. During our first session, we will sort out how your characters might know each other and things along those lines, as well as the village your character may be from.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need to have/bring: -A Microphone and Discord Downloaded -A DNDBeyond and a Roll20 account (They're both free) -Beyond20 Browser extension for Firefox or Chrome (Not necessary but makes stuff easier) -A Webcam (If you would like to use video, but this isn't required) -A Positive Attitude and a BIG Smile :D
What Squirrel brings to the table
As your GM, I bring a variety of tools to each of my games. Aside from the typical stuff (Roll20, Discord and DNDBeyond), I also really enjoy bringing NPCs to life with different personalities and voices, as well as a constant ambient backtrack to make you really feel immersed in the world. When it comes to rulings, I like to read the table. If the table wants a hardcore RAW experience then we will stick to the rules as they were written, but if the table is looking to kick back and have fun then I'm totally here for it! Rules are only as fun as we at the table make them. Lastly, when you're playing at my table, pack extra smiles and be prepared to HAVE FUN!

How Squirrel creates a safe table
When it comes to player safety and comfort nothing is more important, which is why during every session zero I make sure to ask my players about their limits by doing a quick check in about each players triggers and Xs or Ns, letting them know any content warnings that may be present in the adventure and informing them about my open door, break and debrief policies. Players are also welcome at any time to either take breather or a break from the game, and at no point will they ever be asked to go into detail about ANYTHING they may not be comfortable with. Also, while the game is going on, if at any point a player needs content to stop immediately, they may hold up an X/N or type one in chat. This will allow me to make the necessary moves needed to make sure everyone continues to have a great time playing! Lastly, I am a huge believer in debriefing/aftercare. At the end of each session I will always hang around for anywhere between 15-30 minutes to chat about the session and to just generally hang out with anyone who wants to stick around! This is great for sessions where we may get into some heavier content so we can either discuss it or unpack it if need be! Remember, your comfort and your fun come first!
