August 15 - Sept 12, 2025

STAGE 02 will see a new challenge each week designed to inspire us all to Live For More.

Work together with your fellow Howlers to make friends and forge alliances, win prizes, and help reshape The Society. Join us to take on a series of community challenges on the Operation Hazard Bedlam Discord group. 

This year, STAGE 02 of Operation Hazard Bedlam does not require you to have gamepieces in hand to participate. You will receive an invite to the Hazard Bedlam Discord along with your order confirmation for any purchase made during STAGE 01. Howlers still in the Discord from last year are also welcome to join in without purchasing new gamepieces!

HOW IT WORKS: 

This year, the ethos of STAGE 02 is Live For More. 

Weekly themed challenges will give you an opportunity to reach out, help your wider community, and make a difference in the world–inspiring you and those around you to Live For More.

Participating in these challenges and sharing your story will also give you an opportunity to win digital swag and physical prizes, including a personal Howler Callsign from Pierce Brown himself!

STAGE 02 PRIZES:

Howler Names + Live Shout-outs from Pierce Brown

Dominus + Hazard Bedlam T-shirts

Special Digital Swag to use on Discord

STAGE 02 THEMES:

Each week will have a new theme to help you focus your efforts. How you interpret these themes is up to you! What mark will you make on the world? You can submit up to one time per day during each weekly theme period:

Theme 1: For Sophocles’s Sake
August 19-26

How can you make a difference for the animals in your life, community, and world? 

Theme 2: Stories Are the Wealth of Humanity
August 26-September 1

How can you contribute to the cause of literacy?

Theme 3: The Sage Digs The Roots
September 2-9

How can you help build and support your community? Where are you rooted?

EVENT LONG THEME: Carving The Future

How can you use your creative expressiveness to make a difference?

A selection of submissions from this theme will be highlighted during the end of campaign celebration on September 17th.

What should I submit in the Discord?

In terms of what we are looking for in a submission, it's pretty broad! This is about community and the ethos of Living For More, and how we as a community can make a difference.

How you interpret each theme is up to you, and approaches both large and small can make a big impact. Maybe you interpret "making a difference for animals" as volunteering at a shelter, or organizing a cleanup in a park where wildlife makes its home. But it could also be helping your elderly neighbor with pet care, or any number of things! Reach out, make your mark, and share your way of Living For More with your fellow Howlers in the Hazard Bedlam Discord.

More information regarding formatting your submission will be available in the Discord’s “Hazard Bedlam How To” forum.

STAGE 2: PRIZES AND WAYS TO WIN

Howler Callsign: 12 winners total

Be nominated by your fellow howlers as a shining example of community spirit for a chance to win a Howler callsign from Howler #1 himself. These lucky few will be honored in the final live stream event on September 17, 2025.

T-shirts: Dominus or Hazard Bedlam design: 10 winners per theme, 30 total

Submit an example of how you Live for More under any of the three weekly themes for a chance to win an exclusive Dominus/Domina or Hazard Bedlam t-shirt. Winners will be selected via drawing. Multiple submissions do not equal multiple entries (for our sanity)

Digital Swag: Unlimited Winners

Rack up points when you submit each week, and then use these points in the Hazard Bedlam Discord to purchase fun roles and decorate your discord handle
