Hi folks,

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

Thank you so much for your kind and excited words last week after our casting announcement for Trice Forgotten and Cry Havoc! Ask Questions Later. These new scripted shows are highly anticipated, and we’ll make sure to share insights and updates as the recording starts.

Next up, we just wanted give you an update on our plans for some of our Patreon content going forward. With the feedback you kindly gave us in our recent poll, and as we start production in earnest on our two newest shows, we’ve made the decision to make a few schedule changes to some of our bonus content. Firstly, from the 18th June, the weekend puzzle will become monthly. It’ll remain in its Saturday morning (UK morning at least!) slot. Next, Compulsory Film Appreciation will move into the rotating Patreon bonus content slot (Friday 4pm). It will stay as Citizens+ content. Our upcoming RQG spin-off for Knights+, Problemagicians, will also launch into the Friday 4pm slot. We will continue to share a variety of content, split evenly across the three tiers here, including the remaining deluxe transcripts for The Magnus Archives. We are clearing the decks as part of our long-term project to build even more wonderful Patreon content for you in the future.

While we’re chatting about Patreon bonus content, we’re aware that there are many of you who are new here – hello! If you haven’t yet checked out some of our older Patreon bonus content, we have a few suggestions for you to try:

Inexplicables– our six-part Patreon exclusive audio drama. In this dark comedy, Harold and Meredith have returned to their hometown – but with vampires, werewolves, zombies and more, things are a lot stranger than they used to be! (Knights+)
The pilot series of Enthusigasm. If you love Enthusigasm, but haven’t listened to the pilot season you are in luck: with 12 episodes covering everything from baking, Jane Austen, Buffy and three (yes, three) more episodes about Lord of the Rings. Plus, don’t forget that our early access episodes of Enthusigasm are extended versions, full of hot takes too spicy for the public feeds. (Knights+)
Ensemble – A Rusty Quill TTRPG! (Knights+)
We have loads of bonus content for The Magnus Archives, including deluxe transcripts (Nobles), Martin’s Poetry (Nobles), the fluff competition episodes (Knights+) and, for when it gets too spooky, the outtakes(Nobles).
For fans of Rusty Quill Gaming, we have character sheets (Nobles), information on the Erasing the Line world (Nobles) and bonus episodes and sidequests (tiers vary).
Finally – and if you enjoyed the music to last week’s Rusty Mission Improbable, this one is for you – Cabaret Night at the Cosmic Lounge: An entire album of music for Stellar Firma, free for all patrons to download
We know that navigating five years’ worth of Patreon bonus content can be tricky – something we’ve been feeding back to our contacts there. In the meantime, you can browse our backlog of Patreon exclusive content with our Patreon Content Explorer.

In today’s episode of Compulsory Film Appreciation, Hartro and IMOGEN are watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. What will they make of an exuberant youth defying authority to enjoy a day of hedonism and adventure?

This week in Chapter and Multiverse in our Masks campaign, after a good night’s rest our awkward group of superheroes return to TARGE, Mini has opinions about internships and Adeeb buys some tiny dates. Then on Friday we have a brand new one-shot special for you to enjoy. This time, joining GM Maddy Searle is Connie Chang, Shamini Bundell, Lowri Ann Davies and Pip Gladwin and they will be playing Definitely Wizards, an RPG Elliot HT. Continuing in the specials tradition of player characters having incredible names, they will be playing Spoon, Estelia, Falsetto de Lala and Jackson Gains, four non-wizards trying to trick their way through a wizard exam!

Finally on Enthusigasm this week, we’re talking about Shakespeare! Joining Helen is Grace, Imogen, Maddy and Jonny!
