About the adventure
“The Wandering Door? I saw it once when I was a young witch. Dashing across the Gale Fields on stubby legs, moving faster than the wind! Some say it’s a portal to the spirit realm. Others say it is the seal on a demon’s prison. Few have ever caught it before. What did you find beyond it?” -Brass Eyes, Councilor of the Fish Head Coven Welcome to the world of Obijima! Wander a spirit festival, seek First Age technology, herd playful sheep dragons, join a witch coven, study at a sword school, take to the air in a flying machine, or maybe spend the day sipping catnip tea with Tabitha Whitepaw, a cat of prodigious size. Meanwhile, the mystery of the Wandering Door unfolds, offering adventure and whimsy in a cozy island world with just a few dark edges. Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass is a 1985 Games TTRPG campaign setting that employs 2014 DnD rules. Iinspired by Studio Ghibli and The Legend of Zelda, it blends cozy, "leisure fantasy" with exploration, potion-crafting, and spirits featuring a whimsical, nostalgic world with 80s-style tech, focusing on wonder and mystery over combat.

About me
I have come here to chew bubble gum and crush campaigns. And I'm all out of bubble gum! I love both roleplay and combat and tailor the ratio to the needs of the table. I've run a combat and exploration focused Tomb of Annihilation campaign as well as a roleplay heavy and whimsical Wild Beyond the Witchlight. I can be funny, silly, serious, or weird, and I'm not afraid to improvise and follow the needs of players, even if that means going off the rails or side-questing on a whim. I've been running games on Startplaying for over 3 years and running home campaigns over 30 years. I have a ton of experience and I often bring my own stories, art, and maps to the table.
