    What's in The Rift

    What’s in The Rift is a Cortex actual play podcast built on the Cortex Prime system from Dire Wolf Digital. We tell improvised and compelling tales that focus on fiction first. Our stories are rarely the type you may associate with actual play podcasts; no one has fought a dragon or met an elf. Yet.

    Josh Burgess serves as the game moderator and primary storyteller, and a core cast of Rae Witte, Landon Whisnant, Grayson Stamm and Yolandie Hamilton serve as players.

    What’s in The Rift is a tightly edited, professionally sound designed and engaging narrative. Nothing is scripted, we’re just that dumb in real life.

    Heartglass

    Heartglass is a genre-bending audio drama by Man in Jumpsuit (creators of What’s in The Rift) that blends fantasy, Westerns, and weird fiction. It explores existential themes of grief, identity, and the surreal spaces between life and death by intertwining the lives of the living in Robeson with the departed in Hell.

    Curses!

    An exciting new actual play featuring some of the biggest names in indie audio fiction. Join us as we navigate a world wrought with fiendish curses and twisted promise on a mission to preserve only what deserves it. A fully homebrewed, wildly inventive and deeply immersive story powered by the Daggerheart RPG system, Curses! is waiting to be your new favorite actual play.
