Dear Backers and Adventurers,
As we start off the next month we wanted to stop and give an update on the project as a whole. Below you'll find a few quick words on where we're at on certain aspects of the project
Writing. At this point about 70% of the writing is now complete, our team is hard at work refining mechanics and locations to make sure your Obojima experience is magical.
Keep your eyes peeled as we drop more and more content for the community to look over, including the remaining spells, subclasses, feats, and more.
Art. At the moment art is our biggest hold-up. Since starting the project we've gone from 3 artists to 7 which has been amazing, but for the insane amount of art we feel this project deserves, it's still a huge undertaking. That being said we're still steaming ahead! At the moment we don't see delays due to art, but it is the biggest slowdown we've experienced so far.
Music. We're Over Halfway complete with the Obojima Album and hope to be fully complete by May. You can expect 3 song releases this month alone.
Accessories. The first initial wave of accessories such as playmats, dice, pins, recipe cards, and stickers are all in production now. The next wave which includes cards, art pieces, handouts, STLS, journals, and DM screens is well into sampling and should start production in May.
Book Layout. We've gone through a decent amount of interaction and although this look is not fully finalized it is close enough that we wanted to give a share to the community. As we continue to lay out the book over the next few months continue to update you all!

🧪 Potions Brewing Mechanics Under Review
If you have recently visited the Obojima playtest folder, you might have noticed the potion brewing mechanics are missing. No need to worry! The potions brewing mechanics are transforming!
Just like all Obojima playtest material, the potion-brewing mechanics are still only draft and are open to change. Stay tuned as we refine and update these mechanics to bring you new and improved potion-brewing adventures.
