I don't know why it's so funny to me the fact that Jonathan Sims and Georgie Barker went to Oxford together and then 10 years later one of them is wanted by the police and the other is a podcaster. Like, yeah... Yeah, that's usually how it goes, isn't it

Absolutely iconic of Sasha to torpedo all of Alex’s careful planning and marketing by mishearing the new title, “The Magnus Protocol” as “The Magnus Scrotocol”

I know this is unoriginal but this is all I've been able to think about since that incident

Everyone always talks about how funny it is that Jon Ex girlfriend is Played by Jonny’s real life spouse,

but what I thinks is funnier is that Jane Prentiss who spends half of season 1 harassing Martin is voice by Alex’s then girlfriend/now wife Hannah Brankin

Hi all, it’s Jonny. You remember, from The Magnus Archives? So, we’re in the last three days of the crowdfunder for my latest project, PITCRAWLER, and I really, really want it to do well, so I thought I’d do another plug post to try and nudge anyone on the fence about it to back (or to remind folks who were like “oh yeah, maybe I’ll back that later” - now’s the time!).

I’m not going to post a link ‘cause I know that means Tumblr hides posts, but if you google “pitcrawler” then the IndieGoGo campaign should be the first result.

So what is PITCRAWLER?

It’s a tabletop roleplaying game that I’ve been designing with my partner Sasha Sienna (Georgie from Magnus). It’s an over-the-top fantasy game inspired by old adventure gamebooks like Fighting Fantasy or Lone Wolf, with “wizard airbrushed onto the side of a van” vibes (though much less racist/misogynist/colonialist than a lot of the fantasy of that era, and much more queer-friendly).

It’s designed to be played with two players, one adventurer and one gamesmaster, and has a simple system intended to be accessible to new players who might be curious about roleplaying but find the prospect of big games like Dungeons & Dragons a bit intimidating, or who might not be able to get a half dozen friends together, but can probably convince one other person to play.

In it, you play an adventurer trying to make their way in a world ruled by hyper-powerful wizards who have carved reality up into their own weird domain. Thematically, it’s unsurprisingly anti-capitalist, with the wizards very much standing in for weird, out-of-touch billionaires and oligarchs.

Will I like it?

I think so! It’s a fun, light-hearted adventure romp that requires no preparation or experience to play, with loads of random tables and guidance to help new players find their feet. Plus, it’s got fantastically cool old-gamebook art like this!

Look at that boney fellow! He’s having a great time!

How much is it?

The basic PDF version is only £13, with physical copies starting from £26, though there are obviously higher tiers that get you cooler stuff, like journals to record your adventures and tear-off character sheet notebooks!

Can I try it out first?

Yes! There’s a Quickstart Guide available for download on the IndieGoGo page, which gives you the full basic rules and a small selection of backgrounds, expertises, companions etc, as well as four sample adventures!

How long do I have to think about it?

The IndieGoGo campaign finished on Wednesday 25th May, and while there will be opportunities to pre-order it afterwards, backing it now will mean there’ll be more good stuff in the book itself. Our next stretch goal (which we are tantalisingly close to) will add a whole bunch of extra random tables to the book! So if you’re curious or interested, please consider backing it now!

Can I play an adventurer who used to be a Mayor?

Weird question, but yes! You even get a special mayor’s hat as a starting item!

Can my best friend be a goblin who plays the bagpipes?

Uh, again, yes. That would probably be the Musician companion in the full game, and absolutely they can be a goblin if you’d like.

Can-

Look, I’m going to stop you there, if these are the sort of questions that amuse or excite you, I really think you’re going to love PITCRAWLER, so check out the campaign and back it if you can.

Where did you say I could find it?

Just google “pitcrawler” and it should be the first result.

Right. Cool. Wait, why did you post this in “The Magnus Archives” tag?

Well, uh... You see... Um... Look out! Behind you! A wizard!

Frightmove!

We had such a blast playing our newest game, Frightmove*, on stream with our special guest, Helen!

Frightmove is a fun, quick social game about trying to buy/sell/devalue a haunted manor house. One player is the Househunter - they frame the scenes by describing a different room of the house each round - while the other players take the role of the Estate Agent - trying to sell the house - and the Haunting - trying to scare the Househunter away. There's a lot of back-and-forth silliness and (if you use the random tables to generate room features) the house gets worse the more you explore it.

Frightmove is up on our Patreon (along with loads of other great games/stuff), but you can also get the basics from our playthrough.

*For our international friends, Rightmove is a popular property website like Zoopla or Zillow in the UK. It's important to me that you understand that Frightmove is a really good name for this game - S.

It's time to start the final novel in Jane Austen Book Club! Today we're starting Mansfield Park, which is pretty universally seen as Austen's trickiest work, and I'm really excited to dive into it!

I'll be reading the book in hour-long chunks each Monday (doing all the voices*) and explaining the context of Jane Austen and her world. It's loads of fun and if you want to join, you can find it here:

This looks very exciting! Here is the whole thread so you can see some of the other very cool-looking stories that will be coming in the podcast https://twitter.com/TheRustyQuill/status/1547249500120526848?s=20&t=VJT97wnKnnTDp2pJbLffSQ.

[Image description: Two images featuring tweets from Twitter user Rusty Quill @/therustyquill. The first reads: ‘Introducing a new anthology podcast: Neon Inkwell, releasing in October 2022. #NeonInkwell is a home for short-form audiodrama, introducing listeners to new and underrepresented creators (as well as a few familiar faces). (1/7)’. Also in the tweet is an image of the show artwork for Neon Inkwell. The background has a frosted glass effect, with many colours ranging from purples to yellows and reds. In the centre is a diamond shape, with two faces. In white, stylised capital letters are the words ‘Neon Inkwell’.

The second tweet reads ‘Firstly, ‘Of That Colossal Wreck’, science fiction with a horror twist, by some familiar names for fans of The Magnus Archives: @SiennaSasha and @/jonnywaistcoat. On a space ship, long after the extinction of humanity, five people awaken - but they may not be alone… (3/7)’ Under the tweet is an image that is a social media card for Neon Inkwell. The background has a frosted glass effect, with colours ranging from purples to greens. On the left-hand side is the Neon Inkwell show artwork. On the right is text with two photographs of Jonny Sims and Sasha Sienna underneath. Text reads: ‘Of That Colossal Wreck’. When five artificially grown people awaken on an abandoned space station long after the extinction of humanity, they must confront their purpose, their future and the carnivorous alien beings which have taken over the facility. Created by Jonathan Sims (he/him) and Sasha Sienna (he/she/they)’. End ID]

Every day I think about that tma q&a episode where the cast was asked why their character should survive/come back in season 5 and genuienly every answer was great and funny but then Sasha just deadass said nepotism and it worked.

I just had to capture a few bits and pieces from when Alex, Jonny, Sasha, and April played very different versions of the game The Forest. Screenshot is the fun shark head given to Jonny and Sasha.

#rusty quill #alexander j newall #jonny sims #sasha sienna #april sumner #my audio #this was such a delightful stream #poor alex yet again #trolled constantly by jonny and sasha #i would love to see from alex or even april's pov another time #just to see what this game is actually like XD

[cass-cc]

Thought about drawing something out for this, and I still might later, but for now just take this.

Video description/captions under the readmore

[ID: a clip from the Rusty_Quill "The Magnus Archives 2 Kickstarter Pre-Launch!" Livestream. On screen are Alexander J Newall, Helen Gould, Jonny Sims, and Sasha Sienna. In the ongoing discord call, Hannah Brankin is also present, but not shown on screen. They are all playing Quiplash.

The question for this round is "What does Tim do around the institute when he doesn't feel like working?" The two options appear on screen as "DRY-AKING" and "KAYAKING =)"

On screen, the chat is shown along the right side.

Audio begins:

Helen: [laughing]

Alex, chuckling: Dry-aking!

Helen: Ohhh...

Alex: That's great!

Helen: Oh, dear.

Alex: I'm really sorry to whoever wrote kayaking, but dry-aking is just- just absolutely tip-top. Mainly because I love the idea that he sets it up on two, like, office chairs?

Jonny: Mm-hmm.

Alex: And he's just bashing his way around-

Jonny, overlapping: Yeah, he's got [???]-

Helen, overlapping: Oh, that's quite fun!

Alex: Stuff flying of the desk, it's a whole nightmare...

Hannah: So, like... when the floor is lava, but with kayaking.

Alex: Absolutely, yes.

Hannah: Yeah.

The votes are tallied -

Helen: Ooooh-

And "Dry-aking," submitted by Sasha, is the winner. A small crown emoji is edited in to appear over his head. ("It's not Sasha's fault they continue to be the funniest person in the world" - twitch user vielekatzen jokingly said in the chat just ten seconds prior. They are correct.)

Helen: Yes.

Alex, wistfully: I kinda wanna try dry-aking now...

an incomplete list of the best-read phrases in August 8's re: Dracula

"The wind was then blowing from the south-west in the mild degree which in barometrical language is ranked 'No. 2: light breeze.'" - First example of the delightful roundness of the "ooh" sounds, especially in the number ^_^

"The experience was not lost on the painters..." - the rolling of the r's and the particular sound of the 'e' in the second syllable!!

"White-crested waves [...] with their spume swept the lanthorns of the lighthouses" - take a guess which word here is my favorite. Yep. Spume. ^_^

"and then, mirabile dictu," - my absolute favorite of the whole episode! Combining the rolled 'r' and round 'ooh' and adding a lovely long 'ah' for spice!

"It is a good way round from the West Cliff by the Drawbridge to Tate Hill Pier, but your correspondent is a fairly good runner, and came well ahead of the crowd." - the pride in the fact of being a good runner! I can hear it :D Listen, I know Sasha's a good actor, but everything seems more special just because it's him. (I feel this way about so many people in this cast. Can't help it. Cast of favorites old and new.)
