    End of Campaign Talkback | Obojima Origins: The Root of Corruption

    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

    FEED DROP: Iron Rising - Episode 1: Order is Gold - A Starforged Actual Play

    This is a feed drop, shared here to help cross-promote my work and introduce you to another story I think you’ll enjoy. 😊 In the shining metropolis of Hyperion City, two Golds enforce the order that built their world—until cracks begin to show beneath the polish. Iron Rising is about two siblings sworn to protect order and one secret that could destroy it. It's a co-op story told in full collaboration between two players. It’s cinematic, character focused, and driven entirely by the choices we make at the table. ==LISTEN TO EPISODE 2== https://starforged-iron-rising.bearblog.dev/listen/ ==CAST== Maia Wilson: https://bsky.app/profile/maiasgameroom.bsky.socialMichael Gilbert: https://bsky.app/profile/morkallgm.bsky.social ==COMPANION BLOG== ==THE GAME==
