Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

Reckless Attack Podcast @recklessattack.bsky.social · 2d

On October 5, 2021, a stack was born.

136 campaign episodes (and a bunch of A-Talks, Behind the Screens, Adjacents, etc. etc...) later, we stack ever higher.

And it's only getting better from here.

Unspeakable amounts of thanks to the froggy folks who have joined us for this adventure.

The Fourth Age | Book Three @calltoadventure.bsky.social · 2d

Tomorrow, The Fourth Age comes to an end...

The forces of The Dark Tree descend upon the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor. And all that stand between this ancient evil and the ruination of Middle-earth are six heroes: a fellowship.

Our third and final season begins tomorrow, 12:30pm Pacific.

Six individuals stood together, looking down into a cloudy valley:

- Theodas. A muscular Elf with strong dark features, framed by a thick, greying beard, wearing a grey cloak over a dull golden chestpiece.
- 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. He holds a spherical seeing-stone in his hands.
- 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.
- Chicory Taproot. A Hobbit with delicate, pale features, and wavy brown hair, wearing a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron.
- 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 "An original The One Ring adventure. October 7th, 12:30pm Pacific."

Okami 🔜 PAX Unplugged @keichiokami.itch.io · 2d

Started Season 5 of @5gmsofficial.bsky.social today. The summer camp episodes were great! I am starting on the first episode of the road-trip now, fully invested in these characters and ready for more supernatural strangeness to happen as they road-trip across country.

You’re so talented 😭 I swear as I was editing, every time you’d say something I’d be like “I didn’t think this could get more wild”

This is one of the most bonkers experiences I've had on a guest spot, and the most fun - and to have it on one of my favourite shows, alongside some of my favourite folk to work with in the scene, was fantastic.

Go forth and listen to whatever chaos this is.
