The Magnus Protocol returns this week!

Hi folks,

Wishing you the very best for the coming week from everyone at Rusty Towers!

The wait is over – The Magnus Protocol act 3 begins this week. This is the final ten episodes of season 1, so we are really at the beginning of the end (until season 2 at least). In case you missed the news, Rusty Knights and Nobles are cordially invited to join cast members Anusia Battersby, Billie Hindle and Shahan Hamza for a live listen to episode 21 and chat about the episode via the new Patreon Drops feature at 6pm BST on Tuesday 9th July. We’ll still be sharing the episode in the usual way at the normal time (4pm BST), so you can choose to listen to it ahead of time or live with the community!

Please note that engaging with a live Drop is currently only available on the Patreon app and not in the web browser.

As this is a live chat, we will be asking you to refrain from sharing spoilers if you have listened to the episode in advance, and to please treat our cast members and your fellow Patrons with respect.

If you can’t make the Drop event, you’ll still be able to listen to the episode and view the Drop if you are in the Knights or Nobles tier.

In this week’s episode of The Magnus Protocol Sam and Celia chat about what comes next. As always, early access supporters will be able to listen at 4pm BST on 9th July. The episode will release publicly on the feeds on 11th July at 4pm BST.

Next up, you may remember a few weeks ago we shared a YouTube premiere of a brand-new mini-series from the team at Planet Arcana, one of the RQ Network shows. Episode 2 will released in the same way on both our own YouTube channel and on Planet Arcana’s. Tune in to listen live on the 9th July at 8:30pm EDT (10th July at 1:30am BST).

If you haven’t previously checked out Planet Arcana, go and listen to the first episode of their miniseries now, as it’s a perfect introduction for new listeners. Planet Aracana is an actual play set in a retrofuturistic world of humans and androids. In this world, the Major Arcana are gods and the main characters are Fools on a simple quest to find a key and open a box. This new miniseries, A Fool’s Errand: The Network Defenders is a three-part self-contained story featuring Planet Aracana’s upcoming tabletop roleplaying game, which is set to crowdfund at the end of this year. You can sign up on Kickstarter now to ensure you get all the latest updates as they begin to launch their campaign!

Finally, we’re pleased to say we will be hosting another feeddrop on The Magnus Archives/The Magnus Protocol podcast feed, this time introducing fans to RQ Network show, WOE.BEGONE, a science fiction horror about the nature of power and the implications of linear time. The first episode follows Mike Walters, a man who discovers a mysterious and violent online game that begins to affect his real life. You can find this episode on The Magnus Archives feed now, or listen to the whole show wherever you find podcasts or on the Rusty Quill website.
