2025 also saw the culmination of a story two years and three seasons in the making: The Fourth Age.

While there is still one final episode to come in early 2026 - and much more for me to say - for now, I can only express how formative this story has been, both creatively and emotionally.

(1/2)
Six individuals stood together, looking out towards the skies as pink blossom floats about them: - Iairen. A human with handsome, dark features, his face framed with long brown hair with a soft kink to it, wearing a dark blue robe. - Chicory Taproot. A Hobbit with delicate, pale features, and wavy brown hair, wearing a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron. - Theodas. A muscular Elf with strong dark features, framed by a thick, greying beard, wearing a grey cloak over a dull golden chestpiece. - Mistiel. An Elf with beautiful dark features and long white braids, wearing a hooded auburn cloak over dark leather armour. - Eona. A woman with tanned features and long black hair, intertwined with golden scales, wearing heavy brown leather armour and a single steel pauldron with fur lining. - Aerlind. A tall and handsome Elf with deep black, straight hair and elven robes in shades of sea blues and greens. In his hand he carries a golden astrolabe. Above them are the words "The Fourth Age: Book Three" and below them "The award-winning The One Ring series comes to an end. Early 2026."

What a blessing.
Five individuals stand against a red sky and a silhouetted cityscape: - A scruffy-looking man in a grey and brown vest, with tanned features and long black hair messily tied up over a tired, angular face. - A woman with pale features and long black hair, wearing a green jacket over a pale turtleneck and a black jumpsuit. - A shorter individual in a smart grey jacket and an orange shirt with a large bow, her dark features framed by large round glasses and tightly bound hair. - A tall man with dark, angular features, a black moustache and wavy dark hair, wearing a grey three-piece suit. - An individual in a black cocktail dress and long white gloves covered in silver jewellery, their dark features framed by a burgundy bob. Above them are the names of the cast: Calamity, Candace the Magnificent, Kappa, Seum, Valiant Dorian & Edward Spence. Below them is the title "Shadows of Gotham", and the airing details: Tuesdays, 12pm Pacific, over on the Wounded Warrior Project Twitch channel.

They wove magic, to say nothing of our incredible roster of guest stars.

In May, @calltoadventure.bsky.social embarked on our latest charity actual play: Shadows of Gotham. Using comics' most famous city to explore municipal and police corruption, the show saw our heroes pitted against BIue Lives Matter for the fate of Gotham.

This year saw the return of Paradise Lost, both in the dramatic finale of its first season, and the explosive premiere of its second.

Using Free League's The Electric State, this journey through dystopia tackled the stranglehold of corporations over US politics and the insidious rise of Al.

Five individuals stood together against a dark misty horizon: - Drake Lee: A tall individual with lightly tanned skin, his handsome features framed with long black hair tied messily up, a cocky smile over his scarred face. A chain necklace sits over a plain white t-shirt, over which he wears a long black duster. Thick muscular arms are crossed over his chest, one of which is covered in intricate tattoos, and from his waist hangs a katana. - Amelia Oliver: A short individual with lightly tanned skin, her round black-rimmed glasses framing equally round features. Her black hair is done up in two spherical buns, the right of which is pierced with pencils. She wears a green checkered shirt, over which a torn green jacket reveals muscular, scarred arms. A brown satchel full of books is slung over her left shoulder. - Dr Jacob Banks: A tall individual with light brown skin, his brown hair framing handsome features, as do his clear glasses, and a clean moustache sits above a grinning mouth. He wears a white and blue crop-top, with the number “ten” on it. A fanny pack sits strapped across this, red and with a first aid symbol on its surface. A blue checkered shirt is tied around his waist, on which one of his hands rests. - Darla Oakes. A short individual with lightly tanned skin, her suspicious eyes framed by dark mark-up. Rectangular sunglasses are perched atop a mess of wavy dark hair that tumbles over her shoulders. She wears a sleeveless black turtleneck, over which she wears a sleeveless hooded brown jacket, revealing two arms: one bare, the other covered in a tattoo that snakes around into a metallic robotic limb. - Artie King. A tall figure with handsome brown features framed by large glasses and curly dark brown hair. He wears a dark leather jacket over a green and yellow striped shirt. He smiles warmly. In front of them are the words "Paradise Lost: An Original The Electric State Adventure" and "Season Two, Tuesday 19th August, 12pm Pacific Time."

We cannot thank @jaspermillerart.com enough for this latest art piece. It is simply stunning, and brought both Sam and Ed to tears. With us since the beginning of our journey, Jasper has come to define the tone of our story in ways we could not possibly have imagined.

Once again, we thank you.

A Hobbit with delicate, pale features, and wavy brown hair, wearing a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron. She picks flowers. - Eona. A woman with tanned features, a stern jawline and long black hair, intertwined with golden scales, carrying a heavy shield and wearing heavy brown leather armour and steel pauldrons with fur lining.
