Portland, Oregon — October 30, 2025 — Leads & Copy — 1985 Games LLC’s Studio Ghibli-inspired Dungeons & Dragons 5E campaign setting, Obojima – Tales from Yatamon, has surged into the top 1% of all tabletop Kickstarter campaigns launched in 2025, with just days remaining in the campaign.
Obojima’s rapid rise underscores growing demand for emotion-driven, art-forward tabletop experiences that prioritize exploration, community, and cinematic storytelling. The project has become one of 2025’s most successful TTRPG Kickstarter campaigns, drawing players who appreciate imaginative world building and a softer, cinematic approach to fantasy. The setting is being fully adapted to the 2024 edition of Dungeons & Dragons, ensuring compatibility with new mechanics while maintaining the narrative freedom players expect from 5E.
“Obojima was born from our love of cinematic storytelling and cozy fantasy,” said Jeremiah Crofton, Creative Director at 1985 Games. “We wanted to re-create the wonder you feel in a Ghibli film or while exploring Hyrule; a world that feels alive, peaceful, and full of discovery.”
Backers receive exclusive modules, digital soundtracks, and art books compatible with both 5E and the new edition. Additional post-campaign content and community events are planned across Discord, Instagram, and YouTube. Obojima – Tales from Yatamon is available for a limited time at https://obojima.com.
