The Web(bys)

Hi folks,

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

Firstly, a huge thank you to you for your patience and kindness about our recent updates regarding Patreon (if you missed these, please see our newsletter from two weeks ago, and last week). Patreon is currently undergoing some technical changes on the backend, which has been causing some issues for users. As you’ll be aware, we are working with Patreon to address these complications, but please bear with us as sometimes a new problem can crop up unexpectedly. As always, if you come across any specific issues accessing a particular piece of content, please do let us know (and a huge thank you to everyone who has reached out to us so far).

We are absolutely delighted to announce that The Magnus Archives has been named as an honouree for Best Podcast (Scripted Fiction) in The Webby Awards. The Webby Awards always feature some of the biggest names across the internet, and we’re honoured to be included amongst them. We’ve said it many times, but we’ll say it again: we are so proud of the creator, Jonathan Sims, and the whole team behind The Magnus Archives, who made something truly wonderful, and we’re delighted that this is being recognised in awards such as the Webbys! You can check out the full list of nominees and honourees over on The Webby Awards website.

Today, we have another instalment of Compulsory Film Appreciation. This week, IMOGEN has… encouraged Hartro to watch The Hunger Games. What will they make of the Effie Trinket, tributes, and love triangles? Find out later today!

Meanwhile, on Rusty Quill Gaming, we return to the cutthroat world of Raging Grannies (an RPG by Alicia Furness) featuring the behind-the-scenes team of Chapter and Multiverse. The grandmothers are dealing with possible sabotage at a Bake Off and tensions are rising as fast as the dough. As Gloucester Worcestershire (played by Alexander J Newall), Bryony Longfellow (played by Cathy Rinella), Christine Ankle-Jenkins (played by Nico Vettese) and Patricia Potts (played by Tessa Vroom) witness some choux-based shenanigans, can they work out who is behind it all?

Finally, on Enthusigasm we’ll be talking about singing!
