After 27 sessions of exploring the island of Obojima, the Nimble Voyagers crew gathers for a final talkback session. This journey began in March of 2025 and concludes at the start of 2026, marking nearly a year of collaborative storytelling. We reflect on the transition from the children's arc to the adult arc, discussing how their characters evolved over the years, as well as the narrative weight of the choices made along the way. While the current chapter is closed, the players discuss what might bring the gang back together. Potential future stories include a short city-based mystery in Yatamon or a shorter arc exploring the snow capped mountains the party never reached. Led by ⁠GM Maia
