This is Obojima—the world of the Wyld. Here, magic isn’t rare; it’s rooted in the soil. Spirits nap in the sunlight. Mushrooms grow as tall as trees. And forgotten things have a habit of finding their way back. It’s a world of wonder, of quiet magic and bold stories. Some of those stories are grand—told in the crash of storms or the shadow of great beasts. But yours begins in Okiri Village—a sleepy, riverside town where not much seems to happen… at least, not anymore. Tucked between reed-filled marshes and spirit-haunted groves, Okiri is a place of traditions, of wooden bridges, hand-packed mochi, and people who know each other a little too well. Ten years ago, a group of brave villagers left Okiri chasing adventure. Some say they were heroes in the making. Others don’t say much at all. They never came back, and the silence they left behind still lingers, if you know where to listen. But today, it’s not about legends. Today is about friendly rivalries and clumsy sword swings. About a rusty old bot that definitely isn’t going to explode. About your first step into something that might one day grow into a story worth telling. The wind smells like river mint and summer rain. The frogs are singing. Okiri is waiting. Welcome to Obojima. 🔹Cameo Player Characters The campaign revolves around four young characters (you and the other players) from Okiri Village. Periodically, at certain points during the plot, I will invite a 5th character into the game who will participate for 1-2 sessions and then leave. This creates a fun revolving cast with characters that are more than NPCs and keeps the game fresh and exciting. 🔹Note from the DM This will be my second time running the campaign, so you’ll be experiencing a more refined version compared to the original playthrough. I’ve realized that my style as a DM in this setting leans more toward a classic JRPG feel—think Chrono Trigger—rather than the softer, whimsical tone of a Studio Ghibli film like Ponyo. I have also changed large portions of the setting to fit my story. If that sounds like fun to you then I would love to share my interpretation of the setting with you. Expect about 15 sessions from start to finish.
