We’re delighted to announce our brand-new website! This long-overdue update has all the same Rusty Quill content you love, but with a new user-friendly layout and style. Designed to be a hub of all things Rusty Quill, the new website will now grow as we do; as we create new RQ Originals and expand the RQ Network and add transcripts each week, it’ll remain easy-to-navigate and full of RQ information. We’ve also taken steps to improve page accessibility, though there will be further accessibility modifications over time. We have not implemented these immediately to ensure that the new website was working properly before we introduced this additional accessibility functionality. If you have any feedback or concerns, please email mail@rustyquill.com.

We have previously stated that we have paused the Discord whilst we made decisions about whether to continue with it, and if so, how to make sure that it is a safe place where we can take care of everybody who works for us.
We have now concluded that the RQO server will remain closed for at least the next six months, at which point we will re-assess whether we can open a new server with a different format and management. It may well be that we do not open a new server. It is impossible at this stage to predict what may have changed between now and March and so we cannot make any promises.

Hey folks!
It’s a really busy weekend here at Rusty Towers! What with Virtual Horror Con (#VHC), our own RQ Streams and various crew streams, you’re gonna have a lot to choose from for your viewing pleasure.
First off, in just over 2 hrs (8am EST / 1pm BST), the fine folks at Gehenna Gaming bring us the world’s first virtual horror gaming convention – #VHC – with a weekend of great panels, interviews and games streamed direct to your homes! Full details HERE and Rusty Quill is very pleased to be supporting this initiative, especially as all donations & game ticket sales will be going to the WHO COVIC-19 Solidarity Response Fund. And not only can you see a number of the RQ Crew over the weekend, but also fantastic contributions from RQ Friends like Jacqueline Bryk, Jacob Burgess and Darker Days Radio!
... moreIt’s the time you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time to announce the winners of the Rusty Fears horror short story writing competition.
The response to our very first competition was staggering to say the least – you all delivered very enthusiastically to the tune of 94 entries! Thanks to everyone who submitted entries and spread the word. The judging panel (comprising Alex, Jonny & Anil) eventually narrowed it down to a shortlist of 10 and from those, after much deliberation, has chosen their winners… <<drumroll.wav»
... moreThanks so much to all who visited us at the NineWorlds Convention – we loved meeting & running games for you and it really helped make the Rusty Quill Gaming Corner a success.
But don’t worry if you couldn’t make it down – there’s another chance to see us live in London! On Thursday 17th August, we’ll be doing a live double-bill with the Chaotic Adequate team at The Harrison (28 Harrison St, King’s Cross, London, W1CH 8JF). Tickets are still available HERE to see Alex, Lydia, Ben and guest bring the energy of the Rusty Quill Gaming Podcast to the stage.
... moreThe crew is going on an expedition! We’re venturing out from Rusty Towers this weekend (August 4-6th) into the wilds of West London and NineWorlds 2017, the best and most-inclusive celebration of all things geeky that London has to offer. And, what’s more, we’ve got the great honour of co-running the Gaming Lounge (Cognac room) and the Roleplaying Corner therein (details below).
In addition to the gaming room, you can find the following crew at specific times, namely:
... moreWhy yes, we have just acquired some new stock for the Gift Shoppe. There’s an owl, some tapes and a flurry of quills…
Our first designs for the Magnus Archives are now in and looking good! Head to the storefront at Redbubble where you can find Rusty Quill logos and some lovely Magnus images, including the brooding owl logo of The Magnus Institute itself.
Happy shopping folks!
... moreWelcome 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!
... 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.
... 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.
