🖤 THE NEXT STAGE OF OBSIDIAN D&D IS HERE! 🖤

After months of back and forth about where we go next, the English Medieval Festival finally gave us the answer.

Introducing OOSER EVENTS, the professional events side of Obsidian D&D! We’ll be taking our welcoming TTRPG experiences into festivals, conventions, heritage attractions and private events.

Obsidian remains the same community we’ve spent the past two years building. We’re not changing it, we’re building upon it.

We’ve also created a GoFundMe for anyone who would like to support this next stage, helping us build our reusable event kit, professional crew clothing and travel fund. There is absolutely no pressure to donate, and simply sharing it would mean so much.

This is the next adventure, and we’re only getting started. 🖤

For the past two years, Obsidian D&D has grown into far more than a place to pl… Maddie Whiffen needs your support for Help Obsidian D&D Launch Ooser Events

Thank you all for your patience while we catch up!

The team is still in the midst of post-festival busyness, and a few exciting projects have needed to come together much quicker than expected.

Madz and Aki are working through all the messages and notifications we received following the success of the English Medieval Festival. If you have messaged us about joining a game, we will get back to you as quickly as we can.

We have some really fun announcements coming next week, along with more information about The Shards event this October, so keep your eyes peeled!

We’re taking the rest of this week to catch up on everything we missed while preparing for the festival, so our posts may be a little quieter until Monday.

We hope you’ve all had a lovely week and have been enjoying your games. We can’t wait to get back to our regular schedule next week! 💜
