These final two episodes of Arc One represent months of planning, intention, and resonant storytelling. These episodes are also very heavy. The Chaos Protocol is a story about revolution and vengeance, but it is first and foremost a story about grief. This episode is our first step into the core exploration of those themes and the loss that will resonate with us in the years yet to come. Please remember that we do what we do in service of a story about hope, healing, growth, love, and community. There is pain here; there is also love. I hope you feel it in the work we've made together. Grief is not an absence of care; it is an indication of it. You are not alone, and there is comfort and power in the act of creation.
THE CHAOS PROTOCOL is Transplanar RPG's brand-new main campaign that stars Valiant Dorian, Samm Star, and Cai K. as the players with Sea Thomas as the producer and Connie Chang as the Game Master. This podcast episode is edited by Marisa Ewing and features Austin Taylor as Amergin. Our original intro music is by Jonathan Charles.
