Once upon a multiverse...

Hi folks,

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

It’s finally here – the launch of our brand-new actual play Chapter and Multiverse. First, today we’re treating you to a brand-new video trailer, featuring GM Maddy Searle and The Eternal Tavern Keeper, played by Karim Kronfli. The trailer will give you a first look at the series, and a preview upcoming cast and campaigns. If you haven’t watched it already, take a look at it now! Then, on Tuesday we’ll release our early access episodes, in a special launch double bill - an episode zero, where we’ll be introduced to the system of Masks: A New Generation as well as meet our players and their characters for the first campaign. This is followed by the first proper episode: Meet Our Heroes, where Maddy and the cast will dive straight into the story of superheroes, supervillains, and the mysterious organisation, TARGE. Joining Maddy for this first campaign are Ahmed Aljabry, a cultural consultant and TTRPG designer, Lowri Ann Davies, an actor, editor and producer for Enthusigasm and The Magnus Archives, Lydia Nicholas, an improviser and performer in Rusty Quill Gaming and The Magnus Archives, and Pip Gladwin, a voice actor in many amazing projects. We won’t reveal much more about the characters they’re playing yet: you’ll have to listen to the first two episodes.

You may spot that we have a third Chapter and Multiverse episode coming to early access on Friday: the first part of our Vampire Cowboys one-shot, a game created by Maddy herself. In this particularly… bloodthirsty version of Chapter, you’ll join Maddy, Ben Meredith, Lowri Ann Davies, Helen Gould and Lydia Nicholas as they seek to aid a group of werewolves. A particular highlight in this playthrough is Helen’s character names.

Launching a new endeavour is always a gamble, but we know you’ll love this new world that Maddy has created, and the four new characters the players have introduced us to. As well as being a member of our Patreon, the best way to help us and our new show is to rate and review it on your podcast players and recommend it to your friends! Thank you, as always, for your support.

In other news, we’re so happy to see that you are as excited about the upcoming RQG dice as we are. We’ll be announcing more information, and opening the pre-order soon, so watch this space. If you missed our update, you can find information in our newsletter here.

It’s a good week for fans of Stellar Firma, as we have some great bonus content this week! Firstly, we have the next instalment of Compulsory Film Appreciation. In this episode, Hartro and IMOGEN are watching Fight Club. Then on Friday our Nobles bonus is another music chat with Sam Jones, this time discussing the influences and creation of the Stellar Firma theme music!

Finally, on Enthusigasm this week we’re talking about fantasy books! Joining Helen is Tim Meredith, Cole Weavers and Josh Fox.
