Aug 17, 2023

1985 Games is in the midst of a hit Kickstarter run for their new 5E D&D setting book Obojima: Tales From The Tall Grass. The game world borrows from tropes and styles popularized through Studio Ghibli films and video games such as Legend of Zelda. Obojima: Tales From The Tall Grass has passed the $1.2 million funding mark and you can reserve a copy of the supplement in hardcover for a $60.00 pledge or score just the PDF for a $30.00 pledge through August 31st. Expected delivery is September of next year.

About the project:

A world built for exploration and adventure. Lose yourself alongside your players as you travel the breathtaking island of Obojima, a curious place with a mysterious past. Obojima is a prime location for many adventurers’ stories.

In Obojima: Tales From The Tall Grass, you’ll find pages and pages of rich lore, detailed maps, pre-generated characters, strange factions, unique locations, and more. All of which is accompanied by breathtaking art to pull you deeper into the world.

Foul magic has begun to spread across Obojima’s Eastern coastline!

The sea has turned black: the waters have begun to poison the sea life and corrupt the land. Rumors have spread amongst the spirits, but few claim to understand what’s taking place on this strange island. What we can say for sure is this corruption has bestowed unlikely creatures with dangerous abilities. It has even affected some adventurers.

Will you explore the coast and delve below the water’s surface to uncover the cause of this dark affliction?

Play as an eclectic College of Masks bard and craft versatile theater masks to help you in any situation. Breathe life into paper constructs and control the battlefield as an Origami Mage. Harness the potent magic that has slowly begun to infect Obojima as the Corrupted Ranger.

Fully immerse yourself and your players in the world by using any of the new subclasses, spells, backgrounds, feats, weapon types, or player races.

The numerous options will have you struggling to decide what to play.

Create unforgettable encounters using any of the 60+ new monsters only found on the island of Obojima. See if your players can catch the elusive and playful Sheep Dragon on one of the islands’ rolling hillsides, or stay hidden as the dangerous and cruel Urugama haunts the roads between villages. Reveal these creatures’ strange quirks or powerful abilities and watch as your players scream and shout in delight or shock!
