The narrator finds themselves wondering if they can stop the apocalypse and reverse it. That leads to their being hunted as a criminal and watching the world being changed. Listeners can follow the narrator’s journey-which evolves from simply having a difficult job to an attack from a supernatural creature. “New fans get hooked, but before long, they understand how things interact with each other and the stakes,” says Dougherty. But there’s also an overall story arc that provides a bigger picture for those that tune in repeatedly. Set up like a soap opera, the Magnus Archives offers episodes that provide complete meaning, and are able to stand alone. “But we took the concept and asked: What if it was more meta? What if the narrator engaged with elements of the supernatural and the occult in a library dealing with these sorts of topics? So, we created a narrative around it to make it more complex and richer.” “In the earliest days of the Magnus Archives, it was just envisioned as an anthology piece, in which a narrator would read a horror story,” says Dougherty. The show has a dedicated cult following and multiple awards. One of the world’s most popular horror podcasts, the Magnus Archives tells the tale of supernatural cases under investigation by the Magnus Institute and its archivists. Fans love it, and its audience has continued to grow over time.Ĭult Fandom and Horror Tales-Magnus Archivesīuilding on the success of Rusty Quill Gaming, the team launched a second audio drama series, the Magnus Archives, in March 2016. The players also shape the way the game and its audio episodes play out, incorporating improv and freedom to get creative that can take the game in intriguing and hilarious directions.
“The elements we wanted to use to set it apart were from Alex’s own interest-a version of Oscar Wilde, a steampunky version of London, but very much fantasy too, magic of different types, orcs, etc.,” explains Rusty Quill CMO Callum Dougherty. What makes Rusty Quill Gaming unique in a sea of D&D tabletop gaming podcasts is the fictional world they have created to showcase the players’ talents and humor.
