i‘m about to start a campaign with my friends, for most of us our first one, and one of us lives in another country. you gmed during covid, how did you make the game accessible to everyone? did you use any specific programs?
thanks!!
So I have run a lot of games remotely and I can say with absolute experienced authority that I am NOT an authority on this subject.
Back in the day, due to recording limitations I would literally have to call people via Skype and then share battle maps via a shared access to a Google Sheet with coloured cells.
Eventually I did progress to using Roll 20 with interactive maps etc. but I hardly scratched the surface of what it could do due to being distracted monitoring recording equipment and everything I used is now wildly out of date and irrelevant.
Sorry to disappoint.
Is there even a slight chance of Outliers season 3? Or anything new from Cry Havoc?? I adore historical fiction and podcasts and these two were the absolute perfect combination, I truly wish they could be more popular..
So likelihood of Outliers Season 3 is essentially zero.
That show was commissioned and paid for by Historic Royal Palaces (the people who look after the Tower of London etc.) and although it was a smashing success by their required metrics I believe everyone who worked on the project at their end has moved on to other jobs by now. Since HRP holds the rights that means we can’t touch it and I doubt anyone at their end even remembers it exists now!
Cry Havoc doesn’t have much chance for a sequel either.
I personally fought disproportionately long and hard as Executive Producer to get that project to exist and I am incredibly proud of the finished project and everyone’s work on it. It’s arguably the technically “best” thing we have made. That said, something on that scale carries a massive opportunity cost i.e. making that precludes us making anything else and we have other stories to tell. I don’t feel bad about it though as the story ends really nicely as is.
mr quill i’m very confused
what is the difference between magnus live statement begins and magnus live the hilltop ?
i know that the hilltop is a play and that’s about it. (additionally, as an american who cannot afford to come to london twice a year, will the play end up somewhere online?)
This is a good example of a question best asked of the actual company Rusty Quill via mail@rustyquill.com but I’ll do my best to help this one time.
“Magnus Live” just means “a live show related to the Magnus Archives Franchise in some way”
The Hilltop is a full theatrical production of a new canonical play set in The Magnusverse. It is a Kickstarter reward that we are giving a first look of this year that should then have a limited UK tour later. It’s directed by me and features some familiar faces.
Statement Begins is a more casual standard podcast liveshow featuring Jonny and I reading some classic statements and having a talk about all things Magnus. It was proposed as part of the RQ 10 year celebrations and is run by our events dept. It does not feature new canonical content and I am very much just appearing in that as “the talent” *shudders*.
To my understanding both shows are being recorded but I cannot speak confidently as to how/when they will be made available nor to who because that depends on loads of factors including 3rd party licensing stuff I don’t have a say in.
Hope that helps.
