Feed Drop: Escape from Morinia
Hey folks! Another quality podcast that I think fans of Rift would enjoy. A bit lighter fare than what we usually peddled in, Escape from Morinia is an Isekai-like audio fiction from Raving Lunatic Media and Matt Rukstar.
Miyasaki Chin is a normal college student, until one day he (along with several dozen other people) are transported into the game "Battles of Morinia."
