Hello Everyone and Happy New Year,

We're back from the holiday and excited for the future of Obojima in 2025! We've got a couple of things to talk about, so let's jump right into it!

The Official production sample has arrived!

I have no idea why... but I can't get Kickstarter to stop compressing the hell out of these images. If you want to see them less blurry, check out the discord. - Jeremiah

Over the holiday break, we received the first official book off the production line. After a year of back and forth, paper samples, protective coatings, and binding types, It's amazing to finally see it all together. We're so happy with the book and excited for everyone to finally get their hands on it! Until then you'll have to live vicariously through pictures.

Shipping

We're just about a week away before our books hit the water and start making their way to our many shipping facilities all across the globe. That means we're right on schedule to start shipping to backers in March! With all the craziness that has occurred during the lead up to the holidays, we're incredibly happy that this portion of the production is running smoothly. As always, when we get more information we'll share it with you ASAP!

The cassettes are in!!!

The amazing team at National Audio Company has completed our run of cassettes and they look and sound amazing! The nostalgia hit hard for us, as we cracked open the case and saw that clear cassette with the pinstriped clouds across it. It truly is so awesome that we were able to make something like a cassette in 2025 and that people still bought it! Thank you all for making that possible for me specifically(Jeremiah).

In this week's Podcast: Episode Forty-Two, Adam, Ari, and Jeremiah reflect on their writing, chat about what they wish they could have included in book one, and discuss the future of Obojima and whats to come.

Timeline Update & New Video
over 1 year ago – Fri, Dec 06, 2024 at 04:25:28 PM

Hello Everyone!

In this week's update, we finally have new information on the timeline, so let's jump into it.

Timeline

After sending the files to the printer weeks ago, we've been working with them to get updates on our schedule, and although they've been in good communication with them, we didn't want to make an update speaking about the timeline, until we had firmer dates. That said, after being bombarded by other company's orders, our manufacturer has told us that we won't be able to get our books and start fulfilling until March 2025. We were hoping to start fulfillment this month and end in January, but we just can't make it happen.

Though I'd like to say we could, we can't solely blame our manufacturer's busyness for the delay. Due to the extra weeks we put in during the editing phase, we slowed down the process and certainly contributed to our two-month delay. Once more, we want to apologize for the delay and thank you all for your patience. We know it's not what you want to hear and it's certainly not the news we wanted to give. We hope that the other exciting things we'll be announcing in the next two months will hold your excitement for the book.

Expect some cool news dropping in the next few weeks!

New Youtube Video: Using Inspiration 

We're still on our holiday break for the podcast, but we do have something else that you may be interested in. We have a new YouTube video out! In it, Jeremiah talks about the project and explains how he used Ghibli and Legend of Zelda as inspiration for Obojima. If you want to hear more about Jeremiah and the team's thoughts on inspiration or want to send a video to your players to introduce them to Obojima, this is a great watch.

Monster Stat Block Fixed, New Podcast Episode, and Holiday Break.
over 1 year ago – Fri, Nov 22, 2024 at 01:52:43 PM

Hello Everyone!

We've got an updated PDF to download, A new Podcast episode, and a quick update on our YouTube channel for the holidays.

Monster Stat Block Fix

As many of you may noticed, the last version of the PDF seemed to have an error where the monster stats blocks weren't appearing. We've reuploaded a new version of the PDF where that issue, along with a few others, has been removed. Additionally, we've added a high-res version of the map. Both of these new PDFs can be downloaded through your backer kit account.

See any Errors? Let us know!

We don't want to stop the book's improvement. While reading through, please let us know if you catch any errors so we can fix and update the PDF.  If you do see anything, you can let us know through the Found-Error channel on Discord, or this Google Survey.

Holiday Break

We're taking a little Podcast break for the Thanksgiving holiday. We'll be back mid-December, with new podcast episodes. In the meantime, you can watch some of the other videos that we'll be releasing while the podcast is gone! More on those soon.

New Podcast Episode: Elder Spirits & Their Domains

In this week's Podcast: Episode Forty-One, Adam, Ari, and Jeremiah chat about the domains of elder spirits and how they affect the world around them. Join the writers as they chat about the elder toad spirit and its desire to connect with the Nakudama.
