Obojima: Join as a temporary 5th player in our campaign! 5e 2024

About the adventure

If you’re unfamiliar, Obojima is a setting created by 1985 Games, often described as a blend of The Legend of Zelda and Studio Ghibli. My own take leans a bit further into classic JRPG inspiration, especially games like Chrono Trigger. Imagine a post-apocalyptic 1980s Japan layered with a vibrant, whimsical fantasy world: katanas and cassette players, crumbling skyscrapers and floating spirit cities, giant magic koi drifting through the sky. That strange, beautiful collision of nostalgia and magic is the heart of Obojima. 🔹What is a Cameo Player? I like to invite guest players to join my ongoing campaigns, letting their characters step in and fulfill roles that would normally be handled by NPCs. I call these appearances cameos—short one or two-session visits where a character arrives, helps with a specific task or storyline, and then departs. It’s been a fun way to add variety, shake up the party dynamic, and introduce unexpected twists—sometimes even creating lasting consequences for the campaign’s story. 🔹The player type I need I’ve done this many times with a wide variety of player types, and it’s always been a great experience. Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned veteran, jumping into an existing group can be a lot of fun. What matters most in this kind of role is enthusiasm—being excited to engage with the party and the story. I’ll provide a small cheat sheet so that when players inevitably start asking questions, you’ll have a solid reference to fall back on. Cameo players also get a bit of “DM-like” freedom: you’re encouraged to draw from your own creativity, introducing ideas that can become canon in the game. We’ll work together to make sure the experience is fun, collaborative, and entertaining for everyone. 🔹Your Story (Dragon Warrior) You live in the spirit city of Uluwa—a vast spirit market thriving in the heart of a post-apocalyptic city surrounded by collasping skyscrapers. To make ends meet, you fight in an underground arena run by an eccentric spirit named Miku who owes you a bit of money at this point. Oh—and did I mention? You’re a dragon. A real dragon. The child of the river dragon Go. For some reason, no one believes you, but it’s absolutely true! When city life becomes too overwhelming, you retreat to your father’s shrine, laughing at the pilgrims who come to bother him with prayers and offerings. He’s a grumpy dragon, but he’s still your dad.
