Obojima Tales From The Tall Grass

Obojima Tales From The Tall Grass: A Tabletop Ghibli Adventure

Do you like The Legend of Zelda? Are you into the detailed, expansive dreamlands of Studio Ghibli movies? Most people would say yes. How’d you like to turn your next RPG session into a romp through those kind of worlds? That’s the premise behind Obojima Tales From The Tall Grass, a 5E-compatible adventure now being crowdfunded on Kickstarter.

Take a trip to the Island of Obojima where you’ll craft portions, enlist familiars, and encounter over sixty colorful monsters. There are 50 new spells to learn, three new races and eight new subclasses. Most of what you need to explore this place is packed into a 250+ page book filled with lavish Ghibli-esque illustrations by German artist Varguy Art and Australian artist Scott Higganbotham. Ten chapters of text flesh out the island lore in this Dungeons & Dragons 5E Adventure.

Player options include roleplaying as an eclectic College of Masks bard where you can craft versatile theater masks to help you in any situation. Players can breathe life into paper constructs and control the battlefield as an Origami Mage. They can also harness the potent magic that has slowly begun to infect Obojima as the Corrupted Ranger. They’ll also find new subclasses, spells, backgrounds, feats, weapon types, or player races.

The cheapest way to get into Obojima Tales From The Tall Grass is through the Kickstarter’s Digital Tier, which gets you a PDF of the rulebook for $30. Both digital and physical editions of the book can be had at the $60 tier. The $85 Starter Tier adds three Players’ Journals and eight Art Prints. But to get everything available, you’ll have to spring for the Core Box at $185, which throws in the Potions and Ingredients card deck and a set of themed dice in a vending machine box.

The Kickstarter campaign for Obojima Tales From The Tall Grass will remain open until August 31. Pledge today (and only today) to receive a free prize: a handmade resin D20. You can even download some Obojima Tales From The Tall Grass playtest materials now.

The combination of The Legend of Zelda and Studio Ghibli elements in a tabletop RPG is genius.

Obojima Tales From The Tall Grass looks sublime! It's like combining The Legend of Zelda and Dreamlands from Studio Ghibli into one epic RPG adventure. This 5E-compatible game promises endless excitement with over 60 colorful monsters, 50 new spells, and three new races. Varguy Art and Scott Higganbotham's beautiful Ghibli-esque illustrations make it even more appealing. I can't wait to explore Obojima and craft potions while recruiting familiars. The Kickstarter rewards appear to be fantastic, particularly the Core Box, which includes themed dice and a Potions and Ingredients card deck. Please include me!

I adore the thought of losing myself in a fantastical world with a rich history, brought to life by Varguy Art and the exquisite illustrations of Scott Higganbotham. For any RPG enthusiast, the variety of content, including the 50 new spells and eight new subclasses, is revolutionary. This Kickstarter has my full support, and the Core Box with themed dice and card deck looks like a fantastic deal.

Very cool! Combining the worlds of Studio Ghibli and The Legend of Zelda into one outstanding tabletop adventure is like a dream come true. I can't wait to visit the Island of Obojima and meet more than sixty vibrant monsters. This journey is sure to become even more captivating thanks to the lavish Ghibli-style illustrations by Varguy Art and Scott Higganbotham. To get my hands on the PDF rulebook, I'll probably pledge for the Digital Tier. The Core Box with the themed dice and card deck, however, sounds so good!

This RPG adventure has me ecstatic. The exquisitely illustrated book promises to completely engulf us in the legend of Obojima Island. Because the Kickstarter rewards look amazing, I'm thinking about going with the $60 pledge level to get both digital and physical copies. I'm looking forward to learning the 50 new spells and enjoying the magical gameplay that this tabletop Ghibli adventure has to offer.
