"Obojima is a world full of magic and spirits; where people live and explore, and where there are festivals for every occasion. Although life here is mostly idyllic with farmers tilling their fields and shepherds tending to their sheep dragons, there is plenty of adventure to be had. Travelers will find their fair share of it by simply walking from village to village, following rumors and spirit companions, and allowing the strange and wonderful tales of the tall grass to unfold." -Obojima, 'About the World'
The world of Obojima is inspired by the incredible fantasy world's of Studio Ghibli films and take on a playful aspect of leisure adventures and exploration! Players will search for potion ingredients to heal their towns from sickness, they will rescue lost dragonsheep in the rolling hills, and meet dazzling forest spirits looking for ancient ruins! Adventures will center around imaginative festivals in the villages surrounding the island and in solving the mystery of how the island is changing!
This campaign will be roleplay focused! We will emphasize exploration, character development, puzzles and crafting over any combat. There still may be dangers or traps or chases in certain adventures, but will be able to be played combat free.
Each week we will gather together, recap our previous adventure, and then launch into a new arc of our journey. New players may join at any time.

Parental Guidance
There is magic and danger within the game. Some situations may become stressful for certain learners. With my style of DMing I tend to keep most of the story light and fun, but adding tension and challenges create wonderful story telling moments for learners to explore and experiment with how to deal with these situations in a variety of ways. I also promise that even when things seem desperate and that fighting is the only option, crafty players can find a clever solution or work around even to the most dire of situations!
D&D Classroom Rules
By signing up for this class/D&D campaign you agree to the rules. Any rule breaking can result in learners getting put into the waiting room to reread the rules. These rules are in addition to all Outschool rules.
This is a cooperative RPG. Success is not determined by an individual feat, but rather the group as a whole.
- Be Respectful to Your Party Members & Dungeon Master!
- Keep the Actions of Your Character Appropriate for Your Age Group
- Listen to Everyone!
- Be Kind and Have Fun!
- The Dice are King!

Roll a Die Website
Roll a Die Website may be used to roll a 20-sided dice as part of the game for our class. You do not need to sign up, enroll or do anything extra to use this resource and you may skip using it all together if you learner uses a physical dice. If you want a physical dice and don't have one many local game stores have tons of individual dice available for purchase for just a dollar or two. The best part is your student may be able to pick out a very special colorful dice that they like!
Supply List
One D20 Dice (twenty sided dice) if they want to roll physical dice. We will have a digital roller as well! We will also use the DnD Beyond website. If your learner is able to access this resource online it can be a great tool to help them learn their character's skills and abilities! I can provide a printable worksheet as an alternative.
