A chiller week

Merry Monday folks!

Hope everyone has had a pleasant weekend. Things are very much settling down at Rusty Towers as we get used to a new way of doing things. Most of our performers now have their new equipment for home recording, and audio operations for all the shows are either already underway or about to resume after a brief pause.

As announced last week, and shown off on our stream this past Saturday, the new designs are now available on our Redbubble store! And we showed off the Azu & Topaz design from Anna Landin that we were waiting on, as well as a brand new TMA Owl logo from Anika Khan! HQ image files for both of those are attached to this post. Work has already started on Wave 2 merch designs, which we will hope to bring to you later this summer. 

As a reminder you should now all have access to a Patron RSS feed for the early access episodes, the link for which can be found on your Patreon membership page. We are aware that the organisation of episodes on that feed, though, leaves a lot to be desired and likely requires access to a podcast player that has decent sorting functions. Unfortunately, Patreon does not offer any facility for us to split the feed by show or reorder the existing content. We will let folks know if we ever come up with a way of solving this effectively and securely, but until such time, I'm afraid we have to make do with this.

A quick note about RQ Streams - unfortunately, due to ongoing issues with his new place, Mike hasn't been able to get back online as quickly as we hoped. He should be back up and running shortly, but this means that the schedule is still going to be in flux for a little bit. For the most up-to-date news on what is happening, keep an eye on our Twitter or the #rq-streams channel of our Discord. We are also in the process of considering some additional shows for the channel, so look forward to some new faces, hopefully coming very soon!

We're also going to be making some updates to our website over at www.rustyquill.com this week. To make it easier to know what's going on, we're going to put up a schedule page with an outline of when our various shows will be publicly available and also when you can expect things to be put up on our YouTube channel. Naturally episode titles for the shows will remain a Patreon exclusive early reveal. Additionally, we'll be adding a full cast list for The Magnus Archives, to make it easier to find out who played who.

And, here's what you can expect from us this week (all shows release at 4pm UK time, unless otherwise stated):

NOTE: By a degree of coincidence, illness and contagion are prevalent elements in both Rusty Quill Gaming and The Magnus Archives this week. Please check the content warnings, and take care when listening. There is no harm in deferring listening until general and personal situations change for the better.
