Fond farewells and musical missions

Hi folks,

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

I hope you’ve been enjoying our newest Patreon bonus, the weekend puzzle! If you haven’t yet had a go, you should definitely see if you can solve The Magnus Archives crossword, set by Nico Vettese or the RQG Logic Puzzle, set by Lowri Ann Davies. They’re genuinely challenging (the writer of this newsletter is currently stuck on 7 down) and we’ve loved seeing everyone chat about how they’re finding them! This weekend, we have an Inexplicables themed wordsearch: if you’d like to refresh yourself on the show before then, you can listen to every episode exclusively on Patreon!

We also just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has followed our Instagram! We launched it back in December and have really enjoyed sharing some Magnus-themed posts on there so far. If you haven’t yet had a look, you can follow us over on @RustyQuillUK.

Meanwhile, this week we’re preparing to say a final farewell to Azu, Cel, Hamid and Zolf (and GM Alex) in the last Rusty Quill Gaming epilogue. Twenty years after the Change, it’s a cold day in Devon and a familiar figure is hesitating outside a cosy-looking pub called the Hope and Heart. Where will this end for our players?

Over on Enthusigasm, join Helen and producer Lowri for a behind-the-scenes chat. In this episode, they chat about how Enthusigasm came to be, how they both got involved, alternative show names, and their very favourite moments from recording.

Finally on Friday, the Knights+ bonus is Musical Pass the Parcel! We realised that a lot of folks here at RQ are musical, and thought we’d experiment with a fun music challenge, passing a tune from person to person, starting with our resident composer Samuel DF Jones. Tune in on Friday, to find out who else joins in our RQ Orchestra! If you like this challenge, we might have some more variations on this theme planned for the future!

Here is our weekly transcript update. As always, this is also available on our website.

Update 10/01/2022:

Only a handful of transcripts are outstanding for Rusty Quill Gaming. The remaining transcripts will be received back our chosen transcription company shortly. We are reviewing and preparing to make some revisions and edits in prep for a public release.

Good Progress is being made on the reformatting of The Magnus Archives Transcripts.
