Hi folks,

Firstly, this week on the Magnus feed is the first episode of our four part The Magnus Archives TTRPG holiday special GM'd by Jonathan Sims with players Anusia Battersby, Pip Gladwin, Ian Hayles and Lowri Ann Davies. This light-hearted festive special is an actual play using the awesome Monte Cook Games The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game.
