(RPG PDF Spotlight) Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass (5.5e Version)

Book cover for "Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass." A large, light gray skeletal fish head with sharp teeth and an open mouth dominates the lower half of the cover. A young girl with red hair, wearing a pink dress, stands on the fish's upper jaw, looking towards the right. The background is a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The title "OBOJIMA" is prominently displayed in white text at the top, with the subtitle "Tales from the Tall Grass" in smaller white text below it. Additional text in a different script appears next to the subtitle. The spine of the book on the left side also displays the title "OBOJIMA" vertically in white text.
