Obojima Origins: An Actual Play Podcast

Show Notes

The party spends a restorative night sharing personal dreams after their witch encounter, but the morning brings two crucial visitors: Vutochi’s assistant delivers a plan to sever the corruption requiring a special blade, the Heart essence, binding knowledge, and a vessel, while a Brigade member warns Bogo that his sister, Bubbles, is now in Yatamon. Armed with this new information and Vutochi's detailed scroll, the companions realize the binding knowledge is with the witches they just fought and that they must head to Polewater Village to secure the necessary submarine. Understanding that the final components are within reach, the group prepares to embark on the last, critical leg of their quest. Led by ⁠GM Maia

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
