What A Year. It's time for the biggest of cheers for our fantastic guests and our awesome audience who all helped make 2025 so special. To celebrate we've crammed some of the best (and worst!) moments into this short video!

Before New Year's Eve comes around... it feels fitting to share a small teaser for what we have in store for the coming year. May the Force be with you.

In 2026, the Force will be with you. Always.

It is strange, after thirty odd years, to finally find oneself. 2025 was transformative, personally and professionally. And there are so many to thank. For your art, your inspiration, and your friendship. There is not nearly enough space to put my gratitude into words. But I will certainly try.

My 2025 year in art. Created a lot and it was hard to pick for some months. I feel like I have levelled up in many of my technical skills. [ #artsummary2025 #art ]

Not everything is research for TTRPG actual play. But in this case... ...no, I couldn't possibly say.

The winter period is a tough time, even during the best of years. Help Liv out if you can. It means the world right now.

I've been keeping this to myself but I thought it was time to say, I was let go from my job just before Christmas after moving to a new city with my disabled partner for it🎄🎁 I've popped a few board games and TTRPGs on eBay, you'd be helping me out by treating yourself to one 💖 ebay.us/m/luBkh7

SEEKING PERFORMERS for SEASON 2 CAMPAIGN of UNDYING CORRUPTION, a 5e Korean Folk & Mythology adventure book, sponsored by @nineheavenspress.bsky.social & streaming live on Saturdays, starting in February 2026. Casting call closes January 10th. Apply: forms.gle/QVwbSC5hk1XF... 👻 #TTRPG #Casting

Jasper's work has come to define our show, no more so than with this piece. A monumentally skilled artist and an endlessly generous collaborator, we cannot recommend them enough.

So pleased to be able to reveal this piece I did for @calltoadventure.bsky.social for their amazing actual play TTRPG, The Fourth Age. [ #jasperdraws #fantasyart #thefourthage #lotr ]

How can you give lore beyond RPing with NPCs, offering PCs in-game texts, or just straight-up dumping information at the players? Jesse Galena and I are live NOW on Second Wind’s Twitch stream to discuss environmental storytelling in TTRPGs! Swing by and ask your Qs! ✨ twitch.tv/secondwindgroup ✨

I am so immeasurably proud of this epic story. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that I would be given the chance to explore Middle-earth, let alone with such a cast as this. I will never take it for granted. Our tale comes to an end early next year. We will see you then.

The Dark Tree is defeated. Middle-earth has been saved. Our fellowship endures. And after two years and three seasons, the multi-award winning next chapter in Middle-earth's story has come to an end. Our finale will air early 2026. Expect an announcement soon.

Nesting partner had a meeting while I was watching this today, it is nearly the end of the series so shit is getting intense and sad. I’m sorry to inform you watching emotional APs on mute is accidentally hilarious. Everyone looks SO UPSET 😭😂😭

Our penultimate episode begins now. The fellowship have won... but at what cost? Join us live in chat!

WE ARE LIVE WITH THE FOURTH AGE! Annúminas has been saved. The Dark Tree is defeated, and Middle-earth defended. But in a final, desperate act, the Enemy's eye turns toward the Grey Havens. One last battle yet remains... WATCH HERE: twitch.tv/woundedwarriorproject We'll see you in chat!

This piece speaks for itself (check out the timelapse response to the post below), but Nala's art for this PAX Unplugged panel was truly something else, elevating our game into something hilarious, accessible, and chameleonic. What an absolute joy to have a front row seat and watch them work.

This is the time lapse of the map; I wish I could have recorded in real time but alas :’) the nature of The Quiet Year is very transformative and the MAKING of the map is its own story. Huge thanks to @blackgirlmage.bsky.social for inviting me to do this!! I had a BLAST!!

Super late but at #PAXU this year, I was asked to be the live cartographer for a The Quiet Year actual play with @blackgirlmage.bsky.social @edwardspence.bsky.social @kendomakesfilms.bsky.social and @drakoniques.itch.io This was the final map of Company Town 🤠

The end of this episode has lived rent-free in my head all week. Mithlond, I'm coming.

And thus our final series of 2025 ends. 'Unburied' is a tale of bravery and inevitable doom, brought to a stunning conclusion by GM @edwardspence.bsky.social, guests @drakoniques.itch.io and @superdillin.bsky.social and the RPGeeks. Watch all four episodes now on youtube.com/RPGeeksDND.

I am so proud of this cast, their story, and the final chapter of this grim, dark western tale. Mythic in scope. Dark in its telling. And as for its ending... ...well, that would be telling. ⚰️

So @sirutherford.com - genius and unassuming monster that he is - started the day by making me cry at work. I have since been listening to a single piece of music for the duration of my shift. These two things are connected, and I cannot wait to share with you why. What a gift this man is.

Connie is THE bar. And it has never been set higher than their work in 2025. What an inspiration. Also, music is such an intrinsic part of storytelling. And the sheer number of songs that have been appearing in actual plays this year have been a joy to witness. Long may it continue.

TONIGHT and tomorrow, the conclusion of INEVITABLE: Unburied, our four-part series starring @superdillin.bsky.social, @drakoniques.itch.io and GM @edwardspence.bsky.social! Doom is approaching as five Arthurian cowboys try to outrun destiny in @soulmuppet.co.uk's 'Inevitable' ttrpg.

The final battle of The Fourth Age - and the largest scale combat I have ever had the pleasure of running - concludes now. It has been an absolute thrill... ...and I have no idea how it's going to end. Join us live, as we approach the end of our award-winning story!

WE ARE LIVE WITH THE FOURTH AGE! Chicory is wounded. Theodas has fallen. The fate of the fellowship stands upon a knife's edge. And the Enemy closes in. All seems lost. What hope yet remains for the people of Middle-earth...? WATCH HERE: twitch.tv/woundedwarriorproject We'll see you in chat!

Due to external forces, our story will not be recommencing today, but rather at its usual scheduled time of Tuesday at 12:30pm PST! We are only halfway through our final battle. Much has been lost already. And the fate of Middle-earth stands upon a precipice... Join us Tuesday 9th, to see its end.

I never expected to have another sister. But meeting @seum.bsky.social healed my soul. Her love nutured my past self and made my present self feel seen. And my future is all the brighter because of her. Today is her birthday. Show her as much love much as she gives. And that is no small amount.

It’s my birthday!! 🥰 (And two of my besties are in town! @edwardspence.bsky.social & Treena!)

Actual Plays I LOVED. There were so many I loved, this list could go on for AGES. Blood in the Snow by @talesyettold.com Afterlight by @blackwaterdnd.bsky.social Shadows of Gotham hosted by @calltoadventure.bsky.social The Chaos Protocol @transplanarrpg.bsky.social

Games I Played A LOT of this year (besides D&D & Call of Cthulhu. I played SO MUCH D&D!!!) The One Ring by Free League Sacred Machinations (a Fabula Ultima hack by @drakoniques.itch.io that we're playtesting for our show!!) A Fool's Errand by @strautmaskreplica.bsky.social and @bmars.bsky.social

IT'S MY #TTRPGSWRAPPED! anyone who wants to can join in, but I wanted to shout out some awesome creators and games that changed my life this year, and some i hope will do the same next year!

Oh hello 🤩 check out this fresh interview hot off the Mage Hand High Five presses! I had such a blast recording this, it’s the first time I’ve been asked about my process for acting and it was such a joy to do. Truly honored! Listen wherever you catch your pods.

we got damn laid out by @edwardspence.bsky.social today on The Fourth Age ( @calltoadventure.bsky.social ). Last Book indeed.

WE ARE LIVE WITH THE FOURTH AGE! The forces of The Dark Tree descend upon Annúminas. The fellowship stands strong. The last great battle of the Fourth Age begins. WATCH HERE: twitch.tv/woundedwarriorproject We'll see you in chat!

pssst if you wanna play pretend with me, my schedule in 2026 is open!! Seeking #ActualPlay opportunities (prerecorded or live) for long term or mini series as main cast, or as a guest antagonist 😈🩸✨ I prefer paid opportunities but will consider unpaid work for the right table!!

Next week, we will be embarking upon the largest battle of our show thus far. So large, that it will take two episodes to see it through. And much will be lost... Join us, as our cast decides the fate of The Fourth Age, once and for all.

Yet more excellent folks! (I’m tired and hopefully I will tag everyone when I share more on IG!) @urbanbohemian.com @ladyluck34.bsky.social @springleaf17.bsky.social @lauren-urban.com @edwardspence.bsky.social @veemuse.bsky.social @dmjazzyhands.bsky.social @dandillon.bsky.social EllisThe12th

PAX UNPLUGGED, I AM NO LONGER IN YOU! Between running Godkiller at the Winged Bull Tavern, paneling and facilitating with the Working Families Party, and chatting with folks across the con floor, I had an AMAZING time at my first #PaxU. If we have a photo together, please please post it below!! 💖✨

Before the Fallout AP at #PAXU, I knew I was a big fan of @edwardspence.bsky.social @jwcartwright.bsky.social @sweeetanj.bsky.social and Mark Meer. After seeing the show, I now know that I am ALSO a fan of @taylorstaverntales.bsky.social @luastardust.com and @mayannaberrin.bsky.social - y'all rock!

Had the distinct pleasure of spending a few minutes chatting with @edwardspence.bsky.social during Pax U and it seems like we might just do a little something together!

And what nonsense! Watched the workplace horror Call of Cthulhu one-shot featuring @blackgirlmage.bsky.social, @edwardspence.bsky.social, @dianaoftherose.com, @drakoniques.itch.io and @theegoosegirl.bsky.social. Gruesome fun! And now I sign off until tomorrow. 🫡
