Heya, hope you are ok,

so I was wondering if you would share what kind of APV Gertrude is? I'm imagining Panther, but I was curious if you had a particular one in mind?

Cheers!

Ha!

So there was a bit of disagreement on this over at Rusty Towers.

When writing it I was thinking it was obviously something along the lines of an FV432 but then our US editing team were like… “You mean a humvee right?”

Turns out our editing team and I have radically different conceptions of what constitutes “armoured” and it was a case for passback on some SFX :)

hello, dear mr bossman!

big big fan of your work🥰

i have a question and i’m sorry if it’s been asked already but

have you ever thought of adapting tma into tv series?? feels like it has an amazing potential even though it might be hard to transfer all the podcast loveliness to the screen 🤔

an anthology of interconnected horror stories with a background office drama?? yum yum yum

have a nice day, mr bossman and thank you for making my life a little bit spookier!

Okay I get this question a lot so may as well answer it.

Yes, yes we have.

Let’s just say that covid + writer’s strike + LA Burning Down + the streaming wars + actual wars + other drama is making it tricky for anything original to get made unless you do it in-house.

who are the voice actors for Warden Heidi and Warden Dave in the newest magp episode? They’re uncredited and I recognise the voices

Hey,

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like an admin error from transferring data from premiere to public feeds. Team are updating shownotes now but just to answer you properly:

Amy Brown is Warden Heidi and David Ault is Warden Dave

sillier-than-thou:

Heavy on the Arctic part

I’ll be honest.

This is bang on for Jonathan Sims.

I got a friend undertaking a project, and it got me insanely curious about your opinion on the Archivist's sanity in Archives,

Would he have recorded multiple statements on the same tape and chopped them up (like 1.5 episodes per side of cassette), or would he have recorded one statement per cassette?

Interesting.

@jonnywaistcoat may disagree but I suspect he would initially attempt to record one Statement per Cassette to “bring this pile of poorly organised nonsense into some semblance of respectability” only to realise a) He is gonna need a LOT more cassette tapes and b) shit doesn’t stay recorded properly!

Once he realises that, all bets are off. I like to think he eventually got into the habit of just recording then realises after like 6 months that there is always a fresh cassette in there for him but he never put one in there.

Hey all,

Reminder that there is less than 75 hours left to back the Magnus Archives RPG expansion “Tangled in the Web” and get the backewr rewards.

Also, to answer the question I keep getting asked, if you want the backer rewards you have to get them through the crowdfund. If you are waiting for them to be made available for sale separately later you are going to be disappointed.

We’re in the final hour and it’s a hell of a surge! Thanks to everyone for yet another surprise stress test of a platform!

All is well, Backer Kit and the Monte Cook team are really on it!

Reminder though, if you want the rewards it’s literally your last chance.

Just a quick thankyou for the overwhelming support for the Magnus RPG expansion, looking forward to playing it on air for y'all!

Hi Alex! I got tickets for the live show (which I'm so excited for!) but I was wondering if we have a rough time estimate of the show so I can book my tickets back home! Thanks so much :)

(p.s. I am soooo excited to see it!!)

I am seriously limited in what I can say due to A) not being the logistics head for it and B) Confidentiality requirements.

That said:
Show is written to be 2 hours + interval. However, it’s not in physical rehearsal yet so there is big wiggle there (likely upwards). Also depending on your ticket I believe there may be some additional bells and whistles attached and I don’t know if those will happen before or after the show etc. (I don’t even know the start time off the top of my head!)

Treat it as a normal UK theatre show but not a West End Musical that lasts for like 5 hours and you’ll be in the right ballpark. It’s better to end up booking transport home too late rather than too early tough and for questions like this your best bet is probably mail@rustyquill.com (unless they say otherwise!)

TLDR: Dunno, like 2-3hrs depending?

why did you decide to start the introduction from ep74 on in rqg like a second later than in the 73 episodes before my autism doesnt like it :(

So stuff like this bugs the crap out of me too.

It’s been years so best guess? Error I only spotted after upload and insane turnaround times meant I could not go back and fix.

You think that’s bad, I didn’t even add the correct number of gunshots in a canonical murder in a different show. Whole theories were temporarily based off my incompetence.

is the elric rehab center’s name a fullmetal alchemist reference or was that just a funny coincidence

Not a coincidence.
