WHISPERS OF TAIJI KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN
We’re thrilled to officially announce that our innovative, tabletop role playing game, Whispers of Taiji: The Ascent of Aeon, will be going live on Kickstarter next month!
This Kickstarter will launch our first campaign book and our first TTRPG, leading you and your party from the magical Blue Lantern Festival and into the fabled Tower of Aeon to challenge its trials.
A TTRPG Like You’ve Never Seen: Co-op & PvP
Whispers of Taiji: The Ascent of Aeon is 5e compatible, providing the structure you know and love, but adds unique mechanics to emphasize the spirit of Astra.
We’ll be giving you insights into what you’ll see every week until game time.
Co-op & PvP
In the tower, you and your party will be faced with many challenges, battles, and puzzles.
You’ll have to work together with your party to continue to scale the tower and reach the top.
But winning is not as straight-forward as simply reaching the top—only one of you can become the Champion of Aeon.
That’s right, at some point, you’ll have to turn against the team that helped you climb to the tower.
You’ll not only have to continue to build skills and manage resources, but you’ll also have to keep tabs on your party to make sure they’re not invincible when the time comes to take them out.

WHISPERS FROM THE SHADOW
Aeon’s Fame and Fortune
The Tower of Aeon, a towering monolith that has stood for centuries, is both feared and revered across the land. Known as the ultimate test of strength, courage, and endurance, it beckons those who seek greatness. Few have made it to the top, but those who do emerge as legends, their names etched into history into the Hall of Champions.
One such figure is Elira Falmer, a warrior who climbed to the summit over a decade ago. Now celebrated as a Champion, her presence alone is enough to deter would-be invaders. Her mastery of the sword and shield is unmatched, and she wields an aura of calm authority that assures even the most frightened of villagers.
For those who conquer the Tower as Elira did, fortune flows like rivers of gold. They are worshipped as living symbols of protection, earning fame, and a wealthy treasury. Their names became woven into songs and stories, recited by bards and whispered by children dreaming of adventure. In villages and cities, people feel safe knowing that guardians like Elira walk among them. Meanwhile, the wicked fear the very sound of her name, known to crush any sight of evil that comes her way
Until next time, may Mekhi be with you.
