Hello Everyone,
We've got a lot to talk about, so lets jump into it.
Pledge Manager
In the last update we mentioned that Kickstarter has its own pledge manager, and we're working with the Kickstarter team to see if that is the right fit for this project. If It was, it would allow everyone to manage their order all in one platform, which is what we were hoping for. That said, after learning about the features of Kickstarter's Native Pledge manger and that its still in early development, we decided it was best if we use Backer Kit for this project.
For those familiar with backer kit you can expect your survey email in the coming weeks.
For those new to the platform, backer kit is a separate website which you will use to manager your order information now that the Kicsktarter is over. You'll be sent an email which will include a survey. In that survey you'll give us needed information, such as what your shipping address is, what extra products you might want in your order, and which card you would like to have charged when we ship your product next year.
As we continue to make updates, we'll also give guidance on the subject for those who might be worried.
Book Previews
We plan to send out previews and playtest material as we continue to make progress. Some PDFs will be large, others will be small, no matter what it is you can find it here!
We have officially hit 20k subscribers on Youtube and we celebrated by reacting to the communities Homebrew, as well as announcing a few special giveaways and community builds!
Podcast: Advice for creating your own Obojima Location
In this week's Podcast: Episode Eighty-Four, Adam, Ari and Jeremiah sit down to give advice on how you a DM can create your own locations withing Obojima. Join them as they discuss what they've done when writing, and how they get new ideas and start creating.
As always, I hope you all have an amazing weekend, and we'll chat soon!

Hello Everyone,
This time around we have updates on the 2024 PDF, News about the pledge manager, and much more. Lets Jump into it
Community Build Winner
Last week we voted on which Obojima location would have song made for it. Just under a thousand of you came out and voted, and with 416 votes, Sky Kite Valley won the pole! We're excited to start working on this and should have more updates on the songs progress soon!
Tales From The Tall Grass PDF Release
For those who purchased the PDF version of Obojima: Tales From the Tall Grass (2024 edition), we sent out the digital download to backers early this week. You should have received an email from 1985 Games with link to download in the email.
If for some reason you should have gotten an email and did not receive one, please reach out to [email protected] so we can help take care of the issue.
Pledge Manager
For those of you excited to add products onto your order or adjust your pledge, we are working in the background to make that happen. Kickstarter has its own pledge manager now, and we're working with the kickstarter team to see if that is the right fit for this project. If It is, it will allow everyone to manage their order all in one platform.
That said, if it doesn't have the needed features for the project, we'll be using backer kit once again.
Right now, we're putting the Pledge manager on hold until we can figure out which will be the best for us and the community, but expect to have an answer for everyone by the end of the month.
Video Q&A
In place of a podcast episode this week, we made a Q&A video answer some of the communities questions from the Discord.
As always, I hope you all have an amazing weekend, and we'll chat soon!

Hello Everyone,
It has been a week since the Kickstarter ended and our team is now working full force to get this project completed. We have a lot to talk about, so lets jump into it.
Community Build : Community Guided Song
Thanks to the support of the community we unlocked a new song from the world of Obojima. For those unfamiliar, in our last Kickstarter we released a studio album alongside the talented Steven Gernes. Now we'll be adding the 11th song to the studio album, and here is how you can help. We've created a poll in our discord with 4 locations from Obojima. After a week of voting, the location that has the most votes will have its own theme made.
For those who want to participate, you can vote HERE
Tales From The Tall Grass PDF Release
For those who purchased the PDF version of Obojima: Tales From the Tall Grass (2024 edition), we will be sending out the digital download to backers early next week. You can expect an email from 1985 Games with link to download in the email. You will have to do nothing special and we'll be sure to announce the email again in next weeks update.
Digital Mock Ups
In the coming weeks we'll be showing off digital versions of products like the Postcards, DM Screen, Books and more. We'll talk more about this as we finish up the files for each product.
Podcast: How to Create a New Ancestry in D&D
In this week's Podcast: Episode Eighty-Two, Jeremiah and Adam discuss what a DM should consider when crafting a new Ancestry for their world. Join them as they talk about what they did for Obojima, and give advice any DM can use for their game.
As always, I hope you all have an amazing weekend, and we'll chat soon!

We've officially closed out the Kickstarter and we couldn't be more grateful to everyone that has come to support us a second time. We're so excited to be making new products in the Obojima world, and can't wait for everyone to get this project. If you haven't been apart of an Obojima Kickstarter before, you can expect frequent updates, (usually once a week) as we work to fulfill the Kickstarter.
I know this is short, but I just wanted to hop on here after the campaign ended, to say thank you and let you know what to expect. We'll chat with you all soon with more info coming next week.
