About the adventure
This is a special CO-DM experience, brought to life by the wonderfully creative, up-and-coming GM Athanasia and me (Yeti). Together, we’re crafting a collaborative tale full of heart, imagination, and that special kind of magic that happens when two storytellers build something beautiful side by side. If you love rich roleplay, atmospheric worldbuilding, and a game where wonder and mystery walk hand in hand, this is the path for you. Find out more below! In Obojima not every soul finds its way home. There is a quiet corruption spreading across the island and it's creeping into the places where life and death has grown thin. Souls that should have passed on properly are now left to wander, slowly being worn down and twisted by corruption. You as an adventurer, are called to guide these lost souls to their place of rest. Along the way you will face perils and trials that test your resolve. Your journey will lead you through bamboo groves, hidden shrines, sleepy little villages, mysterious magical ramen shops and haunted spirit paths where souls cling like mist. Along the way you will encounter side quests and stories with deep mysteries and soft wonder. Get ready for emotional storytelling, cozy fantasy, mysteries, intrigue and meaningful roleplay. Obojima, as inspired by these two storytellers, will carry soft magical charm and beautiful landscapes blended with a touch of wonder and emotional stakes, that lean into compassion and what it means to help others find peace.
