Hi folks,
Best wishes from Rusty Towers this Monday! Hope that everyone is staying safe and well. Not a huge amount to talk about this week, as we continue to work on the shows and company operations as usual.
I do have one exciting piece of news on the Patreon front, though.
As you might imagine we’re always thinking about new things we can do and offer you all, for the wonderful support you give to us here. But it’s not just about ‘content’, Patreon gives t...

Hi folks,
Best wishes from Rusty Towers this Monday! Hope that everyone is keeping well.
In case you haven’t seen, a lot of the excitement and general activity around here centres on last week’s big news – that Rusty Quill has signed with WME, the prestigious international representation agency and one of the world’s largest talent agents! This is the company that represents Idris Elba, Amy Poehler and Weird Al Yankovic, amongst a cavalcade of other actors...

Tim and Ben do SCIENCE Again!
Welcome to this bonus episode of Stellar Firma, where Bryn Monroe (Hamid on Rusty Quill Gaming) delves into the symphony of factual inaccuracy that is Season 2 to find out just how much Tim and Ben know about science… take 2!
Correction: At one point Bryn makes a slight error and says that a Planck length is "10 to the -34 metres"; a Planck length is 1.6×10^−35 m.

Hey folks,
As if to give us just cause for the upcoming mid-season break, I'm afraid to say there'll be a delay to today's early access episode of The Magnus Archives. We apologise for this and are hopeful that it will be out tonight at some point, though it's unlikely to be before 9pm BST.
As I've mentioned previously, the move to remote recording has thrown up a number of issues that mean that individual episodes take longer to put together, not least of which is ensu...

Hey folks,
Quick message from the production team to say that today's early access episode of The Magnus Archives is going to be a few hours delayed. Unfortunately the combination of remotely recorded episodes requiring more editing work and other meetings overrunning, has put us a little bit behind today. Apologies for this, and we'll get the episode out as soon as we can.
Best wishes,
Anil
