Writer, director and geek extraordinaire, @therustyquill boss man and man of many words.
Hey all, just an update that if you are looking for my official socials you can find them here: linktr.ee/AlexanderJNewa… I am trying to make sure my online presence is unified as social platforms shift. If in doubt follow my Linktree.
Enjoy the return of MAGP today with early access! Now with more chair!
#TheMagnusProtocol returns 3rd July 2025. For 48-hour ad-free early access to all Rusty Quill Original shows, including #MagnusPod, join our Patreon at the Knights or Nobles tier. patreon.com/rustyquill
I may or may not have ended up trapped dancing to "love Shack" over the weekend against my will. I will not be providing context.
Cheers to anyone who came by to Hadrian's Hall at #EmpireLARP. Unfortunately said character is now hamburger meat so although the hall will be returning, it will be under new management.
I am going to do something incredibly unwise: If you are attending #EmpireLARP in the UK this week, you can find me running Hadrian's Hall in the Urizen camp. Just remember, I will be in character and so may try to sell you a drink and/or threaten to cut your arms off.
So apparently people like it when we just... talk?
Tickets are available now for @jonnywaistcoat and @alexandernewall event in Manchester. Join the co-creators of #MagnusPod as they explore statements and reflect on the origins of the show. Ticket numbers are limited so order soon. #RQ10 rustyquill.com/statement
If you want to give me an aneurism just make me spend literally all working day dealing with 3rd party systems DESIGNED to waste my time. (looking at you insurers). I am so. Very. Done.
I've said it before and will say it again the @MonteCookGames team know their stuff!
We are at the UK Games Expo today celebrating @montecookgames win of Best Roleplaying Game for #TheMagnusArchives RPG in the UKGE Judge's Award 2025! Visit the Monte Cook stand to playtest the game, and consider voting for it in the People's Choice Awards. #ukgamesexpo #ukge2025
Nothing like waiting 2 weeks for something that's still in the online basket.
Congrats @MonteCookGames on winning Best RPG at the @UKGamesExpo with the Magnus Archives RPG! Your work on our creepy little horror baby has been sterling!
It would seem I have accidentally accrued an inordinate amount of store credit at a board game shop by DMing so much. I feel I should buy something silly I would never get otherwise. Any suggestions?
There's nothing I enjoy more first thing in a Monday than my paid to do list app suddenly deciding "time isn't real" and forcing me to remake my entire list. - _-
It's funny, after all these years, I am still just a guy who spends all day talking to himself in a padded room.
There's nothing quite like absolutely wrecking your ankle just before a series of large and important events and conventions. I guess I am rocking the House look again.
Not to overhype the end of Season 2 Act 1 of Protocol but seriously, y'all are in for a fuckin treat next week. And not in the "Ha! Ha! you'll be sad way" but in the "goddam the production team nailed it" way. #prouddad
Seen some confusion after some errors in our written credits. Just to confirm, I wrote Protocol episode 39 and @jonnywaistcoat edited. We'll get it fixed next week, sorry for the faff. @jonnywaistcoat wrote the great line about love and grief being the same thing.
Special props to our Sound Masterer Cathy Rinella for today's #TheMagnusProtocol release for Patrons. I can be exhausting to work with when it comes to getting SFX juuuuuuust right and she hasn't hit me once.
I think you should all know that @BillieLHindle explicitly told me how much she loved performing in this week's #Themagnusprotocol episode and didn't find it gruelling at all.
So you're a media binger who only listens when it's all available? Enjoy!
Today in the finale of #BrokenHeartedMonsters, it's the time for the funeral. Frank and Dracula confront their feelings, both find surprises. Listen on the #NeonInkwell feed, wherever you find podcasts or at the link below. shows.acast.com/neon-inkwell/e…
There's not enough insurance in the world for this one: James Ross (@jamesrosscomedy) - Sir Bertrand MacGuffingham + more. Helen Gould (@Alecto101) - Azu + more. Martyn Pratt - (@askMartyn1) - tech gremlin who helped found RQ in his bedroom. (may leave if late for dinner)

I'm not competitive but I WILL rearrange my entire life to prove a point. These things are not the same.
