About the adventure
A whisper in the tall grassā¦ š Your quiet days of gathering herbs are drifting away š¦ Strange spirits watch you from the forest edge š Old stories are waking beneath the moonlit reeds āØ Will you follow where the magic leads? Welcome to Obojima, a land of gentle wonders, wandering spirits, whimsical mysteries, and tall grass that sways even when thereās no breeze at all. Life here is peacefulā¦ most of the time. But lately, peculiar happenings have been stirring. Rumours of an encroaching corruption whisper on the winds. You and your soon-to-be companions are about to embark on a warm, wonder-filled adventure, one shaped by your characters, your backstories, and your choices. Whether youāre befriending a mischievous soot-spirit, bargaining with a moss giant for safe passage, or uncovering the secrets of a forgotten grove, your journey through Obojima will be one of heart, curiosity, and gentle magic. What to expect: šæ Whimsical exploration. Wander enchanted forests, cozy villages, and overgrown ruins filled with secrets. š» Friendly (and sometimes tricky) spirits.

Emotions, humour, mystery, and heart, with plenty of cozy downtime moments along the way. ā¦and so much more, tucked away behind every rustling blade of grass. Step into a world of softness, wonder, and quiet adventure with this Obojima campaign for levels 1ā10 and beyond. Your characterās dreams guide the path. Your choices shape the tale.

About me
With over a decade of experience running games I know how to craft an adventure that will shock and surprise you, placing YOU at the centre of world-shaping events. Every decision counts. Every roll of the dice changes the story. Every character gets their turn in the spotlight. Let's make some magic together! More about me: š„ I have a masters degree in film curation and have a passion for all things cinema. I carry this through to my games, bringing epic storylines inspired by a world of storytellers before me. Want to feel like the star of a Hollywood blockbuster, a Hong Kong martial arts hero, or a cigar-chewing spaghetti western cowboy? I know how stories function and how to make your dreams a reality. š² I offer balanced yet challenging experiences that prioritise teamwork and foster a collaborative game between you and your fellow players. Exhilarating combat, free flowing role-play and unpredictable exploration means that you will get to experience all pillars of TTRPGS at a first class level unlike anything you've experienced before. š I am approachable both in and out of game. Want to change something about your game? Let me know and I will always be happy to make adjustments. Looking for a place to call home? We foster a diverse community of players where all are welcome regardless of background. Need someone to lend an ear for some out-of-game issues? Let's talk. My door is always open. I hope to see you in game soon!
