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.

    What's in The Rift is a Cortex Prime Actual Play.

    Season 2 follows three hapless robots (ChroniCarl, PsychoBot 2000, and Helpis) plus their one human companion (Donny Fink) as they are dragged unwillingly into a murder mystery that may have far-reaching political ramifications. Of course, they can't be bothered with that unless dragged kicking and screaming by their GM back into the story.

    Episode 3 - Magician. Lawyer.

    ChroniCarl has a very specific demand for his captors, but they do not acquiesce. Detective Rand, a boyish detective, turns the screws on the crew and lays out the extremely plausible case he has built up against them. Things are not looking good for our scrappy robot pals and their human pet in this one. Could a paper detective hat save the day? Only one way to find out!

ChroniCarl and Donny discover a new way to charge a robot, and Psychobot2000 attempts to psychoanalyze the captain at just about the worst time imaginable. Oh, and there's a MURDER. Dun dun dun.
