About the adventure
High above the island of Obojima, nestled among the clouds, your community prepares for a night that will be remembered for generations. A young Stone Whale has grown strong enough to carry its first settlers, and you are among those chosen to leave the familiar behind and step into a new chapter. Songs echo through the sky as loved ones gather, both proud and hesitant, to witness the ceremonial Splintering. This is a warm, character-driven one-shot that focuses on community, tradition, and the bittersweet feeling of saying goodbye. You'll take part in rituals, share personal moments with friends and family, and help shape what this new beginning looks like for your people. Set in the whimsical and mysterious world of Obojima, this session blends cozy roleplay, meaningful choices, and a touch of uncertainty as night falls on your new home. It’s an ideal session for players who love character relationships, world-building, and narrative-driven play. Whether you’re brand new to D&D or a veteran looking for something heartfelt and imaginative, this game offers a welcoming, collaborative space to explore the wonder—and weight—of new beginnings.

About me
I've been running D&D since 2017 (and playing since 2016), and I'm passionate about creating collaborative, story-driven campaigns where your choices matter. I specialize in customized pre-written adventures with a focus on rich narratives, memorable NPCs, and immersive atmospheres. My Style: I lean RAI when interpreting rules, always prioritizing story and fun over strict mechanics. Expect character voices, atmospheric music, custom digital handouts, and gridded maps through Roll20 and AlchemyRPG. I love weaving player backstories into the main plot and celebrating creative problem-solving—even when players surprise me with solutions I never anticipated. I have a soft spot for anthropomorphic animal settings (like Humblewood) and enjoy adapting themes to suit different audiences. I've run games for everyone from young players to veteran adventurers, and I know how to make sessions both age-appropriate and engaging. What Drives Me: As a parent of two young children, I value everyone's time at the table. Every session aims to be E.P.I.C.: Enticing players with hooks they care about, Presenting compelling problems, creating Interactive moments, and revealing the Consequences of their choices. My favorite D&D moments, both as a player and DM, come from the unexpected: the creative plan that shouldn't work but does, the emotional character moment that catches everyone off guard, the dice roll that changes everything. That's the magic I bring to every table.
