Announcement: 2024 Holiday Update from Rusty Towers

Hi all, Alex here.

As 2024 comes to a close, we just wanted to take a moment to thank you for what has been an amazing year for RustyQuill and give everyone an update as we head into 2025 and Rusty Quill's 10-year anniversary.

Firstly, some happy news for Patient fans.

We can finally reveal that Trice Forgotten, our well-loved found family pirate adventure, is starting production in 2025, with its second and final season set to release on both the Neon Inkwell feed and the original Trice Forgotten feed.

Nemo Martin and Rafaela Marcus are co-writing the project with Kazim Tosinomore, who most of you will know as Teddy in the Magnus Protocol or Mark Antony in Cry Havoc, attached as director.

We could not be happier to give our favourite seafaring science-loving shipmates the send-off they deserve and we'll be providing more details on this exciting project as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, our Magnus Protocol production team are taking a well-earned holiday break whilst the sixth Rusty Fears competition runs.

That means that right now, you can find new episode of fan-submitted short horror stories dropping on the Magnus Archives feed, and once all six episodes have released, we'll be sharing a poll for you to vote for your favourite, with the winner getting to write a case for the Magnus Protocol.

If that's not enough for you, though, and you just can't wait for season two, we have already shared the season two premiere and official fancast streams with Kickstarter backers and Knight Noble tier patrons over at patreon.com forward slash rustyquill.

Not only that, did I mention that we were doing an original Magnus Theatrical Live Show in 2025?

Because we're doing an original Magnus Theatrical Live show in 2025, and it's called The Hilltop.

There are still a few tickets available for the third and final performance, but once those are gone, you will have to wait a while for future showings at other locations.

so make sure you don't miss out on this first appearance, and find out more at rustyquill.com forward slash event.

Now, if you're in need of last-minute gifts and want to support these productions at the same time, remember you can always visit rustyquill.com forward slash support for a full list of our official merchandise, including Magnus-inspired Sucrevay Perfume, now available in the UK and the US, late pledges to the Magnus Protocol Mysteries board game, Magnus Archives and RQ-engraved wooden tabletop gaming accessories from Harpscore, polyhedral dice sets inspired by RustyQuill Gaming and the Magnus Archives from Dice Dungeon, not to mention that the Magnus Archives RPG is now available to order from Monty Cook with an expansion featuring new statements and adventures written by Jonathan Sims already on the cards, pardon the pun, with crowdfunding launching in early 2025.

Well, that's all for now, apart from saying happy year end to all of you and thanking you all for the support you've given this year.

As always, we are humbled and terrified by you, in a good way, and cannot wait to bring you more of your favorite content in the new year.

So, until then, bye-bye.

Tulu, so long, etc.
