What's In the Rift
by Man in Jumpsuit
A season-long anthology TTRPG series using the Cortex Prime system from Dire Wolf Digital and Cam Banks. Season 1 tells a story of six strangers whose lives are intertwined across realities in a confusing and alarming manner. They're forced to endure the onslaught of the oppressive UCRI and its attempts to stop them at all costs. Thankfully, they have a little help from their friends, a one-legged ne'er-do-well named Gypsum and His Holiness Himself, Jason Christ. Season 2 tells the story of the spaceship Endeavor, whose mission is to crawl the galaxy mining the tastiest sauces from far-flung asteroids. On board, three hapless robots and one misguided human stumble through one unforeseen mishap to the next, including the murder of the richest robot on board the ship, a massive conspiracy that may underpin the economy on board the entire ship, and an active socialist revolution.
