hello sir, what should I name my cat, he is a small bastard who abuses me, however he likes my stuffed animals.
Sounds like head archivist Jonathan Sims to me.

Hi bossman,
What's your favorite fact about our world that you learned through your research for Magnus?
There’s so many but my go to is:
Napoleon Bonaparte, THE Napolean BONEPARTE, was a fan of the fax machine and swore to install one in every major city once he conquered the world.
Has Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London, read the Silmarillion?
If he did he would no doubt record a comment on how far fetched it all was before sending a colleague to check in on this Morgoth fella and see if he’ll give a statement.
Just so you know I'm having an amazing time playing the Magnus Archives TTRPG with my friends.
I've got to ask, how did it feel to put definitive statblocks on all the fun little monsters and artifacts? On one hand their abilities are horrific and devastating enough they remain scary but also reducing them to numbers feels unfittting of such mysterious beings.
So here’s the thing.
I ran Rusty Quill Gaming for years. There, I took start blocks and engineered mysterious monsters out of them.
This time I just had to reverse my thinking and eventually it clicked.
That said, the Monte Cook team did all the real work, I just had to yell “iceberg ahead! ” if they went off course (which I don’t believe they ever did)
after a long debate with my friends, we have come to two conclusions.
1. martin has never smoked weed
2. martin was a big stoner as a teen
which is more accurate in your opinion?
(btw i say he was a stoner)
I suspect he tried it once, convinced himself he was having a “bad trip” then accidentally triggered a real anxiety attack then threw the joint out of the window in a panic at which point the people sharing it with him gave him ‘a look’ but he wasn’t listening because he saw a small dog outside had gone up to the joint, sniffed it and then ate it rendering him inconsoleable for at least an hour bekieving he had accidentally killed a saudage dog.
Or not. What do I know?
What would the more normal animal fears be labeled as in tma? My sister used to be afraid of ducks and me and my friends have been trying to figure out what fear entity it would go under
The Extinction.
The ducks are “those that will rise after the end”
would jonathan sims actually be brainrotten in like real life with all of the skibidi toilet stuff going on? (i type as if i’m not one of the most brainrotten people i know) as in, he’d genuinely say something like skibidi toilet rizz or something
(brainrot jonathan sims. wow..)
I seriously doubt it.
do you think martin k blackwood was a punk rocker in his youth, and if so, how do you think that bleeds into his life now as an adult?
I do not but it’s a fun image.
If the Magnus Archives Universe was actually reality, would you have worked in the Magnus Institute if they had offered you a management job?
Probably not. I mostly find academia suffocating and frustrating. I just like to get something done without submitting 50 different forms and waiting years for a grant. I’m guessing real Jonny probably would though?
In an earlier ask, you mentioned the "cooling ham", is that just what it says on the label? A big cold ham to keep your electronics cool?
It is yes. I worked with what I could get.
