About the adventure
⚠️ THIS IS A SESSION ZERO ⚠️ ∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵ You are a human from Earth in the year 1989. You were unhappy with your life for reasons of your own choosing, and went on a beach vacation to cope with the stress. Suddenly, a terrible tsunami and earthquake hit; a gargantuan, inky, black wave rose above you and crashed into the shores, washing you away. But you didn't drown. Instead, you woke up on the shores of Obojima, and met a spirit companion who wants to help you. They lead you to Okiri Village, where other humans from Earth have been taking refuge and learning to live with the locals. Now you have your own Bastion in town, and a fresh start! What will you do first? ∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵ 🔷 This is a CAMPAIGN that operates as a series of narratively connected one-shots, so there's no fixed schedule. You can participate as your availability allows. 🔷 Join a community of adventurers taking on quests in an evolving world. You'll have the opportunity to play with different players every session, and your actions permanently change Obojima for everyone else. 🔷 Play multiple characters! Not all at once at the table, of course, but you can run and maintain multiple characters in the same world! 🔷 Follow real-time progression! The amount of time that passes in the real world is the same amount of time that passes in Obojima. 🔷 XP advancement! Since there is no linear plot or milestones to hit, level progression will use XP to represent your character’s actual experience. You'll gain XP from completing quests, defeating enemies in combat, successfully negotiating with NPCs, expanding your Bastion, and crafting items! ∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵ 🔹Check out the campaign primer for this world! ⭐ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P2Fj-e2xvy0NBXXxZKmXxhtlv2unmQ8_Qq2ErvGbHfM/edit?usp=sharing ∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵ 🔹Come roll these custom Obojima-themed dice I designed and developed exclusively for my players! ⭐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APD6_DXUq_4 ∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵ 🔹Curious about how I do things at my table? Watch me run an Obojima game! ⭐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBwzyp_ND_4 ∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵∴∵

About me
⭐ 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞: https://www.gmshyann.com/ Hi! I’m Shyann & I'm just your average spellcaster! I work as a professional game designer who loves creating and developing adventures, monsters, and magic with code in Foundry VTT! If you could look back to 2008, you'd see an awkward group of high school theater nerds with the Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition Adventure Game gathered behind the school's stage curtain. There weren't enough premade characters to go around, so a girl with square-rimmed glasses picked up the Adventure Book to guide her friends through the story. That was me. Since then, I've been entrusted with the mantle of "Game Master." Over the years, my higher education in theater and improv has shaped my storytelling style, and my professional experience as a front-end web developer has led me to curate the ultimate virtual tabletop experience. But what I love most is bringing stories to life with the friends at my table. My priority is providing a safe place for you to get outside your comfort zone to discover a fun, new way to be yourself. I want to help people expand their imaginations, embrace their inner power, and attune to their highest selves, just like real heroes!
