Hey folks!
Well, how was that finale? Hope it was enjoyable!
Just wanted to remind everyone that there will be a Hallowe'en hangout with me in the general voice chat of the official RQ Discord tonight from 8pm GMT. And also that the mailbag

Merry Magnus folks!
And we're here... After 159 episodes, we've reached another season finale. What horrific happenings on Hallowe'en does Jonny have in store for us? What has transpired at the Institute whilst The Archivist ventured deeper and further into the spaces below and beyond? Questions a-plenty, and hopefully some answers...
And speaking of questions, a reminder that the 2019-10-28 16:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post
This week on Executive Quarterly With Sigmund Shankeray we sit down with Hartro Piltz (ID 63277482), a rising young executive and Line manager who could be destined for great things.
We find out what makes her tick, what she attributes her success to, if she has considered betraying the board, and how she likes to let her hair down out of hours.
Will she survive? It’s Unclear! But rest assured we will have the truth from her come what may.

Only two episodes to go folks...
And since we're now on that final path, it's time to open the mailbox for all your burning questions. This has been a very packed season for The Magnus Archives, to say the least. We would ask, though, that in the interests of having the fullest picture, that you may want to hold off from direct story-related questions until after MAG160. The form for submitting questions is now open 2019-10-21 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

2019-10-17 09:57:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
Quick note to say that MAG158 is going to be delayed longer than we had anticipated, unfortunately. Today's episode is a remarkably complex composition, so it's taking time to ensure the correct level of eldritch audiocraft is being injected into it.
We are still hoping to release it before midnight BST, but Alex is making sure to take the necessary self-care whilst he works. Thanks so much for your patience.
And trust me, this one is definitely worth the wait....

With three episodes of The Magnus Archives to go, all signs point to Hallowe'en being a particularly chilling time this year. Thanks for all the suggestions as to potential off-season content, there are definitely some good ideas that we'll hope to follow up on.

All's quiet on the Rusty front, as we take a bit of a breather to gird our auditory loins ahead of the upcoming season finale for The Magnus Archives.
If all goes to plan, we will be able to announce the airing dates for Season 5 when MAG160 is released. I will say that, in order to ensure Season 5 is as good and fitting a final season for the show as it can be, we will be taking a longer break than we have before. To that end, if you have any suggest...
