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.

Helpis is contacted by his father (no, not Chronicarl, the other one), and obliges him on a weird request. Chronicarl does his best to turn tragedy into a resounding political message, but the only real effect seems to be afflicting more robots with reasons to seek Psychobot's therapy services. And Donnie? Donnie is put on a "high stakes" P.I.P. from his old boss.LinksDiscord: https://mij.is/discoriftTwitch: https://mij.is/twitriftYouTube: https://mij.is/tuberiftPatreon: https://mij.is/patriftSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
