Quick Update & Gen Con Announcement

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 thrust 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 12 - Considerably Worse News Than I ThoughtThe gang takes a moment to figure out their next steps, only to find themselves embroiled in a rapidly developing strike at the Zaptron Automat. They've called in scabs, but instead of autoworkers, humans arrive instead. Something seems mightily off about this. By the end of the episode, someone near and dear to our listeners will have died. But, it's probably for the best. Cheers!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Again. This is literally the same opening from episode 6. They can't help themselves, apparently. A process server has threatened the crew with the expenses of all the destroyed GearX robots as a result of their brush with celebrity. But no worries, as Seuss lets everyone know how they can "leverage" Helpis's body parts for liquidity. The newfound wealth that Helpis possesses turns out to be useless without ClankedIn, and thus they go about trying to rectify this situation. Then, the economy collapses, Two Arms Toneigh becomes a distant threat for ChroniCarl and PB walks disinterestedly through a massive street brawl that her friends are all actively engaged in.Cast:Grayson Stamm as ChroniCarlYolandie Hamilton as PsychoBot 2000Rae Witte as Donny FinkLandon Whisnant as HelpisJosh Burgess as GMThis season's artwork is done by the inimitable Warpsol.https://instagram.com/warpsolWhat's in The Rift is a production by Man in Jumpsuit.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
