Happy Monday folks!
Hope folks had a pleasant weekend. Here at Rusty Towers it’s been a pretty steady week – lots going on behind-the-scenes but not a lot for me to talk about just yet, I’m afraid. We’re still working on the new Patreon milestones, so it will be a little longer before I can announce those as well.
It was a very fun weekend though over on RQ Streams, as I battled rusty memory and audio distortion issues to take Mike’s quiz about all things Rusty Q...

Merry Monday folks!
Hope the weekend treated everyone well and that folks are staying safe. Operations continue to rumble along at Rusty Towers, and folks seem to be coping with the new recording arrangements. We recorded the first batch of post-lockdown Rusty Quill Gaming episodes this past Saturday, and by all accounts it went well, so hopefully the home recordings won’t require too much additional clean-up from the editors.
It is also my great pleasure ...

Merry Monday folks!
Hope everyone has had a pleasant weekend. Things are very much settling down at Rusty Towers as we get used to a new way of doing things. Most of our performers now have their new equipment for home recording, and audio operations for all the shows are either already underway or about to resume after a brief pause.
As announced last week, and shown off on our stream this past Saturday, the new designs are now available on our 2020-04-20 15:01:01 +0000 UTC

*HUGS*! Well, it's been another busy week and weekend here at Rusty Towers - though a little calmer in some respects to the previous one. Unfortunately we did discover a bit of an issue with some of the production files having gone awry, which meant there were some delays in getting the early access episodes out on time. We believe that we've identified where the problems arose and it should be sorted now.
We're also very pleased to say that we've made ...
