Happy New Year!

Hi folks,

Happy new year! We are so excited for what 2024 is going to bring: The Magnus Protocol launches in just over two weeks on 18thJanuary and we have some incredible short series lined up for Neon Inkwell. This week we have the finale of Of That Colossal Wreck, our existential science fiction horror, written by Jonathan Sims, co-creator of The Magnus Archives and Sasha Sienna, a writer and voice of Georgie Barker in The Magnus Archives. If you haven’t yet listened to the series, now is the perfect time catch upon every episode, especially if you cannot wait until the release of The Magnus Protocol.

If you’d like to hear more of Jonny and Sasha’s work, why not check out some of the following specials:

• Duskhollow PD– Join Jonny, Frank, Sasha, Alex and Lowri as they play MacGuffin & Co’s original TTRPG, Duskhollow PD. In the first episode, we meet a team of cops whose task is to solve completely normal crimes…
• What the Ghost – The Devil’s Dance – Written and starring Sasha Sienna, intrepid paranormal podcaster Georgie tells us about creepy events from the past!
• Twilight Abyss– An improvised horror roleplaying game, join Jonny, Ben, Lydia and Lowri as they collaborate to create characters and set them on a journey of infinite dread, horror and health code violations.

After the finale of Of That Colossal Wreck, next week we’ll be sharing a behind the scenes episode with some of the people who worked on creating the show. We hope you have enjoyed this first short series on the Neon Inkwell feed: we can’t wait to share with you what’s coming next!

You may have already seen from our social media channels, but right at the end of last year we went to Vienna to record an orchestra performing the music for The Magnus Protocol. Here's a small sneak peek from the session, featuring Sam Jones conducting.
