Every Arc of The Chaos Protocol uses a different game system to highlight the new world and challenges our characters encounter.

In Arc 4, our TTRPG system of choice is an ✨upcoming✨ survival game about mutation, apocalypse, and the horror of evolution. Any guesses?

It has always been our ethos to stand against racism, fascism, and colonialism, and we’re not stopping now. As artists, radical imagination is our tool for carving better worlds into existence — worlds where everyone can live in prosperity and dignity.

Hope is a weapon. Let’s wield it together.

If you’re heading to @njwebfest.bsky.social this weekend, keep an eye out for your favourite magical girl team! Bloom&Blight is up for ✨FOUR✨ awards this year, and we couldn’t be more proud to share the stage with such amazing projects!

💚💛💙🤍💜

Simplified poster for Bloom&Blight Season 2, Part 2, with five white film festival laurels.

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.

Five sets of laurels show web festival nominations. In the middle, a set of laurels reads “Official Selection, New Jersey Web Fest 2025”. Four other sets sit around it, labelled “2025 Award Nominee”, 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).
