Join us in chat, as our cast reminisces and answers your questions!
It wouldn't be a live stream without tech troubles! We're just having to reboot a couple of computers, but we'll be live as soon as we're able.
Thank you for your patience!
We are currently editing the episodes to upload to YouTube, using the raw video and audio tracks, but layering in a full soundscape and the smooth music transitions that (due to the constraints of live streaming) often proved difficult. The aim is not to remove anything, only add!
More news soon!
Our fellowship reunites, one final time, to answer YOUR questions!
Ask them below, share your favourite memories, your wildest theories, and join us on Tuesday 20th January at 12:30pm Pacific, as we bid farewell to a story two years in the making.

This was such a beautiful thing to experience. To achieve such high quality storytelling, beauty, love and emotion on a livestream is unreal, and seeing just how much it meant to the cast was so moving. It felt like a privilege to be able to see it in real time. Congratulations to everyone involved.
I am honestly without words now that The Fourth Age ( @calltoadventure.bsky.social ) is over.
To craft stories with love from front to back with every person within a story is so special.
To do it with profoundly gifted storytellers is a dream.
Hannon le, gwadoras nin.
I'm catching the live finale of the Fourth Age (@calltoadventure.bsky.social) and it's so worth it to stay up past my bedtime even if my heart is being torn out of my chest
What does it mean to end?
To truly cease any forward momentum.
Today, The Fourth Age comes to its final moments.
Three books. Many chapters. Multiple stories.
I am not ready for this show to end.
But, as inevitability dictates, it must come.
Join us.

The war is over. The fellowship stands victorious. All there is left to tell is the ending of their tale...
The final chapter of The Fourth Age, our three season ode to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, airs on Tuesday 13th January, 12:30pm Pacific.
We are honoured to be placed in such esteemed company. That our trilogy of seasons has touched so many means more than we can possibly express. Thank you all for the love, for your stories, and for your kindness. We will need them all as we enter a new year.
Five individuals walk across a grassy ridge, almost silhouetted against a mountainous backdrop: - 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. - Iairen: a human with handsome dark features, his face framed with long brown hair with a soft kink to it, wearing a green robe with gold trim. - Chicory: a hobbit with delicate, pale features, and wavy brown hair, wearing a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron. - 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. Above them is a set of golden laurels, with the words "Hollywood Series, Best Game Master - Actual Play, Winner 2025."
We are overjoyed to announce that yesterday, our Loremaster @edwardspence.bsky.social won the Hollywood Series Award for Best Game Master - Actual Play (Video).
Thank you to the judging panel, and to @tabletopartsfund.org for making our awards journey possible! What a perfect way to end the year.
In 2026, the Force will be with you. Always.

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.

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.

@valiantdorian.bsky.social
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.

...were reunited, and their characters tested like never before, finding hope in even the bleakest of places.
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 โtenโ 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."
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.
