Welcome dear visitors to the hallowed halls of Rusty Towers and I am very pleased to announce that, following some extensive remodelling and arduous posing (just between us, Sir Bertrand can be a bit… particular about his image), we can now join the ranks of stately institutions everywhere. Yes, our Gift Shoppe is now open!
For all your Rusty Quill merch needs, we have set up a storefront at Redbubble where you can purchase a wide variety of clothing, stationery and household goods all bearing the wonderful images of the cast of the Rusty Quill Gaming Podcast, as fantastically illustrated by Anna Landin. There are 13 different pieces (including 3 most adorable ones of Brutor in costume) which can go on any item the store offers, from duvet covers and dresses to T-shirts and travel mugs!
... moreHaving launched the Rusty Quill Patreon yesterday to great response (thank you so much to everyone who has already contributed), we’ve had some important feedback which leads us to re-evaluate part of the offering. These comments have indicated how useful transcripts of The Magnus Archives are to members of our audience who are hearing-impaired, so we’ve decided to make the transcripts freely available to everyone. Accessible, large-print versions of the transcripts will be posted on our Patreon feed for all to enjoy and Deluxe versions are being worked on for $10+ patrons.
... moreWell, here we are, the final day of #MarchMagnus!
And as befitting the final day, we’ve saved our biggest announcement for last – Rusty Quill now (finally) has a Patreon! *cue fireworks from the battlements of Rusty Towers*
We know a lot of people have been asking about this and here it is. For those who don’t know about Patreon, it’s a simple way for fans to give regular support to the creators of things they like, much like the patron/artist relation of old, so that they can carry on making those things with a little more peace of mind. All the money we get will be used to cover our running costs, make production easier and help fund new Rusty Quill developments. In return, you’ll get access to some special, backer-only rewards like statement transcripts from The Magnus Archives and character sheets from RQGaming!
... moreCome in, come in. Pardon the decorators, please, they’re setting up some of the new pictures we’ve ordered to brighten the place up a bit. Oh trust me, you’re going to love them. The dogs in particular… oh sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself. And, of course, if you like them, you can pick up a copy too. Well, not now, but soon.
Yes, next month Rusty Quill shall be launching its long awaited storefront! It’s taken a while to get here as we’ve had a few hiccoughs with art commissions along the way but we’re really pleased to announce that RQ merchandise will be available in April.
... moreA welcome Wednesday to you all! Since Rusty Towers isn’t beaming out an episode today, why not check in with some of the friends we’ve made along the way and hear from some of the crew in a different environment. After all, the Podcast General does advise that all podcasters should get some fresh air and a change of scenery from time to time.
So, back in December, the crew had a little outing to Dragonmeet, one of the foremost UK gaming conventions, and joined The Rolistes Podcast and Formal Gamer for some audio shenanigans as part of the Podcast Zone. Tune in to The Formal Gamer’s bonus episodes as both Jonny (Episode 1) and Anil (Episode 4 – joined by RQ fan menacingsibrow) took on their one shot challenge.
... moreIt’s time to celebrate the #Magnus community here at Rusty Towers! To everyone out there listening and sharing the podcasts we put out – thank you so much! It’s thanks to you all that we’ve come so far, so quickly.
And there are those of you who have taken further steps, writing reviews, crafting stories, putting together corkboards and forging new outlets for fans to come together and contribute to the conversations. Fandoms are built on these foundations and we’re so lucky to have these shiny, superb pieces.
... moreIt’s time to open those boarded-up windows and let some air into the dusty stacks… For The Magnus Archives is now on YouTube! Hopefully The Archivist will approve of this extra level of backup for the statements.
Welcome to the Rusty Quill YouTube channel where you’ll find, in time, original video content from the Rusty Towers crew as well as being a repository of our back catalogue for both The Magnus Archives and the Rusty Quill Gaming Podcast. The aim is to update weekly until we’re caught up with the current series and then release in step with the podcasts as they air.

Happy Tuesday everyone! No doubt the keen-eyed amongst you will have spotted the newest item to be installed in the foyer – a golden Donations box!
Yes, the vaults of Rusty Towers are now open to accepting your donations to our continued running. Since the early days of Rusty Quill, some of you have asked if there were a way you could help out financially and now you can! After all, we’ve got to keep Hamid in the style to which he is accustomed.
... moreWelcome, one and all, Rusties and travellers alike, to the brand new Rusty Towers Foyer! As shiny as Bertie’s armour (but with less falcons) and as slick as one of Jane’s fattest children, consider this the welcoming atrium to Rusty Towers, where visitors can tarry awhile and partake of the entertaining fare we have to offer.
We’re still putting the finishing touches to some of the decorations but this kicks off a whole slew of new and wonderful things we’re going to be bringing out over the course of the month! For you see, this month heralds the first anniversary of the launch of The Magnus Archives and what better way to celebrate than by giving out treats! So drop in here or look out for #MarchMagnus on social media to see what lurks in future mists…
