THE DOORS OF AEON WILL SOON OPEN

We’re now one week away from releasing over two years of work to the world—the launch of Whispers of Taiji: The Ascent of Aeon on Kickstarter is almost here.

On Tuesday, September 30th at 6AM PT / 9AM ET, the doors to the Tower officially open, and we couldn’t be more excited to finally share this world with you. Every twist, every mechanic, every piece of art has been leading to this moment, and we’re so grateful you’ve been alongside us for the journey.

If you haven’t already, please consider clicking the “Notify me on launch” button on our Kickstarter pre-launch page.

It’s the easiest way to make sure you don’t miss when we go live—and it makes a huge difference in helping us reach more players who are ready to climb the Tower.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE BOX?

We’ve loaded every tier on our Kickstarter with value, and we can’t wait for you to see what we have up our sleeves!

But we did want to share with you what’s going to be inside the base box of Whispers of Taiji: The Ascent of Aeon:

  • Hardcover campaign book

  • Full-range D20 ombre dice set with embroidered dice bag

  • 6 characters with acrylic figures, character sheets, and cards

  • Game Master screen

  • Range of maps

  • 150+ actions cards

  • 50+ event cards

  • 50+ item cards

We’ve focused on quality and magical touches so that every piece in this box was crafted to bring Astra to life at your table: visually, mechanically, and emotionally. Whether you're a first-time adventurer or a seasoned GM, this set isn’t just a way to play Whispers of Taiji, it’s the best way to feel it.

Truth Hidden in Verse

You’ll need this next week

How could I not sing his praises?
After all, we eat now. We live now.
In the streets, children laugh instead of starve.
Look what he’s given — not just to nobles, but to us.

Magic belonged to bloodlines. Now it belongs to all.
Even the fields bloom faster, the worlds grateful sigh.
Kings once held the sky; now, we all have stars.
Hope isn’t rare anymore — it’s ours.
In Mekhi’s hands, liberation is no longer a dream.

- Ilma, Vastraen Candlemaker

Have it ready for our Kickstarter launch day.

We promise it’ll be worth it.
