Project Update: Ten Years of The Magnus Archives!

Hello, archivists—

How time flies! Has it already been 10 years since we released The Magnus Archives RPG?!? Well, no. But, it is the 10th anniversary of The Magnus Archives podcast from Rusty Quill, and we have some great TTRPG content lined up this year to celebrate such an achievement.  
 

Upcoming Anniversary Events at UK Games Expo!

Join us at UKGE in Birmingham, UK, on Friday, May 29th for a live seminar hosted by none other than Rusty Quill with Monte Cook Games and Indie Boards and Cards—we’ll be talking about converting podcasts into games. 

Take a deep dive into the process involved in turning a podcast into exciting tabletop games, hosted by Rusty Quill, the multi-award-winning podcast production company behind the world’s most popular audio fiction horror story, The Magnus Archives.

Joined by Monte Cook Games (Cypher System, Numenera) and Indie Boards and Cards (Coup, The Resistance, Kodama), topics they will cover include how to use audio to create new experiences in tabletop games, the process of turning audio experiences into TTRPGs, and tips on running successful crowdfunding campaigns for your games.

Each of these companies are giants of their industry, able to bring their own unique, tried and tested perspectives that have led to award-winning games and podcasts. You won’t want to miss it!

Then, make sure to tune in on Sunday, May 31st, for a LIVEPLAY of The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game! 

Take on the mysteries of the Archives in this live play session of The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game, the record breaking TTRPG based on the world’s most popular horror podcast!

Join players from gaming and podcast titans Monte Cook Games, Indie Boards and Cards, and Rusty Quill as they examine what lurks in the Archives of the Magnus Institute, an organisation dedicated to researching the esoteric and the weird.  

Powered by the Cypher System, The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game will challenge and terrify players and audience alike, with an expert Monte Cook Games GM guiding our investigators through the Archives, as they dig into the supernatural and attempt to hold back the machinations of entities that threaten humanity.

Because when you stare into the Archives, something starts to stare back…

But that’s not all! Drop by the MCG Booth (2-271 Hall 2) over the course of the weekend for a free demo of The Magnus Archives RPG!

A quick update on dice

If you missed our last update, we shared that The Magnus Archives RPG dice are in production! Our manufacturing partner is hard at work putting together the second round of proofs, which we’ll share photos of when we receive them. After that, we’ll get the dice printed, shipped, and fulfilled as quickly as possible! (Take a look at some of the photos we shared last time—these dice are going to be truly gorgeous!)
