A little trickery is always abound with our next cast member 👀

🌙Charming, sly, & more nervous than a long tailed rat in a room full of traps, Sully lives & breathes subterfuge. But someone, or something, has its eye on them...

And the dark is not always the best place to hide.

#EotF #dnd #TTRPG

A book sits open on a wooden desk. Strewn about the desk are a potted sundew plant, a letter in another language, a wooden medallion carved with a hand slightly closed around an eye, a sprig of stinging nettle, and a candle in a silver, coral shaped votive. The candle flame and the light it gives off is also blue.

The portrait on the left is of a light skinned person with short, dark hair looking to the left. They are also wearing a dark colored lipstick. The text under the portrait reads "Kay Purcell, she/they, damphyr.com"

The portrait on the right is of a slightly-golden colored individual with dark curly hair, wearing a white tunic and black overcoat. There is also a slightly transparent black crescent moon shape behind their head. The text under the portrait reads "Sully, they/them, Aasimar Rogue, Soulknife"

Time to give some massive love to our Season Two Storyteller @potaytayto.bsky.social ! Bloom&Blight is officially a finalist for Best Host of an Actual Play at @nzwebfest.co.nz!

Go show Tay some love, and keep an eye out for your favourite magical girls at NZ WebFest!

Simplified poster for Bloom&Blight Season 2, Part 2, with six white film festival laurels down the sides, and one up top.

Dark background, with art of Dark Lark. Lark stands facing away from the camera, a glowing white spear in hand. The spear has purple and pink ribbons tied to it, and a yellow ribbon is tied in Larks hair. She looks resolute and defiant, her hair and costume billowing in a breeze. Below her, reflected in water, is another Dark Lark. This time, she is in her hands and knees, looking defeated, her hair and costume are limp, and her skirts are tattered. Her spear is a full metallic colour, chipped at the end and stained in blood. The ribbons are missing.

Above both Dark Larks, a pair of red, glitching mechanical eyes loom in the darkness. The dark background fades to stars at the top.

Seven sets of laurels show web festival nominations. In the middle, a new set of laurels reads “Finalist, Best Host of an Actual Play, NZ Web Fest”. Down the sides are six others. Two read: “Official Selection”, one for New Jersey Web Fest 2025 and one for Sydney Web Fest 2025. Four other sets read “2025 Award Nominee, New Jersey Web Fest”, each for a different category: Outstanding Science Fiction AP (Podcast), Best Sound Design of an AP, Best Premise of an Actual Play, Best Ensemble Cast of an AP (Podcast).
