The Fourth Age | Book Three

After three seasons, The Fourth Age has finally come to an end. But we're not done! This Tuesday 20th, we will be holding a talkback episode, as our fellowship reflects on the last two years of storytelling. Do you have questions for the cast? Post them below, and join us live at 12:30pm Pacific!

So honored to be nominated for Best Player (Indie) for my performance of the Tiger Prosecutor, Randhir Villefort from @calltoadventure.bsky.social 's Shadows of Gotham! I am so proud our work and the complexity we bring to our characters Make sure you check all the incredible nominees and VOTE!

Extremely honoured to be nominated for Best Character Artist in the Crit Awards for my illustration work on The Fourth Age! Thank you, once again, to the team that trusted me with such special characters for such a beloved production. @calltoadventure.bsky.social

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!

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. // twitch.tv/woundedwarriorproject

In one hour, our story comes to an end. An adventure two years in the making reaches its conclusion, and we say a final farewell to this fellowship. I hope you'll join us.

I have just started writing my final monologue for this, and I'm already in tears. Join us on Tuesday 13th January (12:30pm Pacific). After three seasons and two years of storytelling... ...it is time for one final chapter.

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.

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.

(2/2) This cast have built their foundations in my heart, and will endure forever. @blackgirlmage.bsky.social @causticphoenix.bsky.social @critbard.com @estelofimladris.bsky.social @jwcartwright.bsky.social @seum.bsky.social I will have much more to say after our finale. But for now, thank you.

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)

(3/3) Each episode, Gotham was brought to life by: @alecgm.bsky.social @blackwaterdnd.bsky.social @chaoticdarby.bsky.social @howdylovedarlin.bsky.social @justicevancho.bsky.social @persephiroth.bsky.social @shellyvonmiller.bsky.social @stevesaylor.net @superdillin.bsky.social What a blessing.

(2/3) With art by @kodasea.bsky.social, we were gifted with a truly peerless and trusting cast. @heycalamityyy.bsky.social @seum.bsky.social @thecandacemarie.bsky.social @thekappachris.bsky.social @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. (1/3)

(2/2) With art by @meishali.bsky.social and overlays by @stellaluna.tv, our cast... @blizzb3ar.bsky.social @causticphoenix.bsky.social @justicevancho.bsky.social @seum.bsky.social ...were reunited, and their characters tested like never before, finding hope in even the bleakest of places.

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. (1/2)

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

This has been one of my favorite APs to watch this past year - great roleplay, great game, great lore, and a fun-but-unobstructive audience participation element via donations and I really think you should watch it!!!

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.

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 ]

This is the second to last Monday drop of season 2 of After the Table! This week we have @calltoadventure.bsky.social aka the wonderful people over at WWP. This was recorded while at @officialpax.bsky.social & I'm so glad to have them finally on the pod. Listen now! www.linktr.ee/afterthetable

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

Okay this one was a little hard because there are so many APs that I love and have got to talk to this year, but these are ones I will always talk about. Shadows of Gotham from @calltoadventure.bsky.social (I'm biased), @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social, and of course @storysquadcast.bsky.social.
