In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady explores the remarkable success of 1985 Games LLC's latest Kickstarter campaign, Obojima: A Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition setting inspired by the enchanting worlds of Studio Ghibli. The campaign, titled Obojima – Tales from Yatamon, has surged into the top 1% of all tabletop Kickstarter campaigns launched in 2025. This rapid rise highlights a growing demand for emotion-driven, art-forward tabletop experiences that prioritize exploration, community, and cinematic storytelling. As the campaign enters its final phase, it has drawn significant support from players who appreciate imaginative world-building and a softer, cinematic approach to fantasy.

1985 Games LLC, building on ten previous Kickstarter successes since 2019, continues its mission to merge design artistry with playability. Obojima introduces a Leisure Fantasy style emphasizing community, nature, and thoughtful pacing, fully adapted to the 2024 edition of Dungeons and Dragons. The campaign's success underscores a shift in tabletop gaming towards experiences where art, sound, and storytelling intertwine. Featuring hand-painted artwork, original soundtracks, and world-building tools, Obojima captures the imagination of both long-time fans and first-time Game Masters.
