Copperheart IS Back!

Our new season has been in the works for some time with episodes and updates going to select Patreon levels until we've got enough in the can to make an official public launch.

That's coming soon!

Get ready for "Copperheart: Blue Silver Chronicles"

I wanted to get this announcement out to remind you about an old friend, a mystery of galactic proportions, a reality-bending sci-fi audio show that brought you smiles, tears, and jaw-dropping moments, and more. It's not over. Season 3 is in production, and Season 4 is in the pre-production stages.

Consider this a tap on the shoulder, a smile and "remember me?" when you turn around to see who it is. We'll get together officially very soon with the first teaser trailer for Season 3. In the meantime feel free to check out what's been going on at RiggStories.com, or get a jump on things through our Patreon at Patreon.com/riggstories.

And, if you're new to this post, feel free to explore the Copperheart saga's first two seasons on the podcatcher of your choice.

We'll chat soon!
