About the adventure

THE TAIMEN CIRCUIT A D&D 5e (2014) Campaign | Levels 5–9/10 The horn sounds in the Royal Capital of Taimen. Engines roar, spells crackle, banners snap in the wind. Only one team will return victorious. Welcome to The Taimen Circuit, a legendary, continent-spanning race sanctioned by the Crown itself. Teams from every nation, guild, and shadowed corner of Taimen gather for a single purpose: to outrun, outthink, and outlast every other competitor. You are one such team. The Circuit is not merely a race of speed. Each leg of the journey presents objectives such as dangerous contracts, political entanglements, moral dilemmas, battlefield challenges, and opportunities for sabotage or alliance. How you complete these objectives, and whether you play fair at all, will determine your standing. The prize for first place is beyond gold or fame: • A private audience with the reigning Monarch of Taimen • One Wish, granted by royal authority and ancient power Campaign Details • System: D&D 5e (2014 ruleset) • Levels: Start at level 5 and end at level 9 or 10 • Party Premise: You are a registered Circuit team • Tone: High adventure, rivalry, danger, intrigue, spectacle • Themes: Competition, ambition, loyalty, shortcuts, consequences What to Expect • A living race with rival teams who adapt and interfere • Travel across the entire Taimen continent • Tactical combat, social maneuvering, and creative problem-solving • Choices that affect standings, reputation, and the race itself • Opportunities to win through honor, cleverness, or ruthless efficiency This is not a campaign about saving the world. It is about how far you are willing to go to win. Glory awaits at the finish line. Not everyone will make it there. Do you have what it takes to run the Circuit?

About me

Hello Hello! My name is Apollo and I started my journey with D&D my sophomore year of highschool playing and DMing within Quincy's Tavern! Through that I've gained the experience needed to run games where people may not know each other, and bringing them together for a fantastic story!
