| 0:29.1 | com forward slash fears. Hi everyone. This is Alexander Jane Newell, founder and CEO of RustyQuil |
| 0:35.2 | limited, and voice of Norris on the Magnus Protocol podcast. Just taking a moment to introduce some special holiday content, along with some updates from Rusty Towers. In case you didn't know, production for the Magnus Protocol has been on a bit of a break while we previewed our original theatre production, Magnus Live, the Hilltop, in London, England. The initial run of this new work for Stage, with features original cast performances from |
| 0:54.7 | both the Magnus Archives and the Magnus Protocol has now finished, but no worries if you missed it. These first shows were just a demo, and since it went so well, we can do more showings in the future, along with making a recording of the last preview show available online for anyone who couldn't make it. So keep an eye on our socials for the latest info on all that. With that sorted, we're now back at Rusty Towers and working hard for Protocol to return in spring |
| 1:13.8 | 2026. But in the meantime, we thought we'd give you a little thank you for everyone's patience and support during this period. So, with that in mind, I get to introduce the Listening Club. An actual play of the Magnus Archives tabletop role-playing game by Monty Cook Games. |

| 1:32.9 | mysterious podcast company called... Moldy Pencil Productions. And features Anousia Battersby, |
| 1:41.4 | Loryan Davies, Ian Hales, and Pip Gladwinners players. We'll also be releasing some different TTRP content at a later date as part of our fundraising stretch calls for Protocol. Lastly, before I hand over to Johnny's thinly veiled assassination of everything I stand for, I just wanted to let you know that Rusty Fears, our fan-favorite horror writing competition, is back. If you want your work featured on this feed as part of our |
| 2:01.1 | effort to showcase new and undiscovered writing talent, then be sure to head over to rusty quill.com |
| 2:05.5 | forward slash spheres for more information. That's all for now. We hope you enjoy this latest |
| 2:09.5 | moldy pencil production, and as to a very special episode with me, your host, Jonathan Sims. |

| 2:42.7 | But today, we are going to be playing a short session of the Magnus Archives role-playing game from Monty Cook games. |
| 2:50.1 | I say we'll be playing it. I'm stripping down |
| 2:52.3 | the rules a bit. But, you know, have a good time. Joining me are some voices you will hopefully |
| 2:58.8 | know as well. Anusha, hello, who are you? Hello, Johnny. I'm Anusha. I play Gwendolyn Bouchard |
| 3:06.0 | in the Magnus Protocol, and I'm a big RPG nut, so I'm very, very excited for this. |
