Review: Obojima

 

OBOJIMA

Rating: 💥💥💥💥 I like it!

Obojima is a new D&D setting based on the Studio Ghibli and Zelda -type aesthetic. It takes place on a mysteriously abandoned island that once in its ancient days was like our 1980s.

The tone is light and cheery, a departure from the grimdark feel of a lot of settings being put out now. Each class has its own whimsical subtype: e.g, Barbarian (Belly Brewer), Bard (College of Masks), Warlock (The Lantern), Wizard (Origami Mage), etc. The content is 2014, but easily updated to 2024. Three mini-adventures are included with it.

I'm going to run it for Summer Reading, and  plan on playtesting the scenario I'll be running with my online gaming group during June. Hence all the pre-gens I'm creating for it right now.

RATING: I LIKE IT!
