Hi folks,
Wishing you the very best for the coming week from everyone at Rusty Towers!
Thank you so much to everyone who was able to attend our stream on Friday or watched the VOD over the weekend. It was fantastic to celebrate ten years of The Magnus Archives with so many of you, and to share some of the things we’ve been working on – some of which have been in the works for well over a year!
If you weren’t able to join us, you can watch the full stream on our YouTube channel now! https://www.youtube.com/live/UxtoUXy7ShU?si=VTrzWsVPtNoOPtyG
To recap some of the announcements we made, firstly, The Magnus Protocol season 2 act 3 will be released in July 2026. Recordings are completed and editing is well underway. We’ll of course keep you updated on the exact date closer to the time.
Next up, The Magnus Archives Mysteries, the new deduction board game from Indie Boards and Cards, is doing incredibly well in its Kickstarter campaign, having so far raised over $161,000. If you’d like a preview of what one of the cases involves, head to approximately 00:16:30 in the livestream to hear designer Sydney Engelstein chat with Alex and Jonny about the game, and to see some evidence that is featured in the case “The Resurrection Men”.
As part of our celebration of ten years of Magnus, we are also delighted to be working with Knock Thrice again, this time on a The Magnus Archives clothing collection. For those who may not have heard of Knock Thrice before, they are a Canadian-own company that specialises in whimsical, highly detailed apparel.
The collection features knitwear, a jacket, t-shirts and even a coffin bag – take a sneak peek below!

Pre-orders open on 22nd March on www.knockthrice.ca – keep an eye on Knock Thrice’s social media for more information and further early looks at the collection!
Finally for the stream, of course, we announced From the Library of Jurgen Leitner, a Magnusverse novel by Premee Mohamed with Jonathan Sims. We shared a special members update about this on Friday, so you can check that out if you’d like to find out more about the book, or visit www.rustyquill.com/novel for pre-order links for hardback, ebook and audiobook.
Thank you for all of your support over the last ten years. All of the project announcements we made during the stream were inspired by messages we’ve received from fans over the years, and it’s been incredible to be able to bring such unique merchandise to you all and to work with such amazing partners.
This week on Neon Inkwell, we have the second episode of Welcome to Fosters. Thank you so much for your comments on the last episode, we’re so glad that you’re enjoying this magical Australian comedy. As always, paid members with early access will be able to listen to the episode on Wednesday at 4pm GMT. It will go out on the public feed on Friday at 4pm GMT.
Have a good week all!
The Rusty Quill team
