An annual extravaganza
🕑 Added 2020-12-07 16:08:58 +0000 UTCHi folks,
Merry Monday from Rusty Towers! It’s all go here at the moment, as we spruce the place up in readiness for this weekend’s charity festivities. We hope as many of you as possible can tune in at some point over the 24hrs to help cheer us along as we raise money for three very worthy causes.
In a little bit of admin news – starting today, we are activating a new feature from Patreon that will allow you the option to sign up for annual subscriptions to Rusty Quill. Folks who want to, can now take advantage of a single payment that gives a full year’s access to all the RQ Patreon benefits and bonus material, alongside a discount equivalent to two months free!
You can find out more about how this works in this article from Patreon, which also details how folks can switch their memberships and how cancellations will work. We do strongly suggest anyone considering switching their membership reads this article.
With RQ: Gaming & Giving 2020 now just 5 days away, our most ambitious event will see a large number of the RQ Crew, both UK and US, aiming to raise £20,000 in 24 hours for our three nominated charities: Mind, Action Aid, and The Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN)! Digital fun and fully streamed shenanigans galore can be found on at http://www.twitch.tv/rusty_quill, starting 11am GMT on Saturday 12th December. We’ll be advertising this widely across our various social media channels, and we’d really appreciate any help you can give in spreading the word about this event.
This year’s RQGG will see the biggest gathering of RQ Crew yet as we come together for things like:
- Alex & Jonny playing Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
- More blind dates in Billionaire Banshee
- ‘family fun’ card games on Tabletop Simulator
- Among Us, Monster Prom, Golf With Your Friends, and much more!
And special guests this year include:
- Alasdair Stuart and Marguerite Kenner of EA Podcasts
- the now perennially acclaimed Xmas TRPG one-shot hosted by Grant Howitt
- John Robertson presenting The Dark Room
- James Ross & Sarah “Gryph” Griffon joining Helen & Autumn for a seasonal Dungeons & Leopards adventure!
As things get updated, as well as how to donate (available closer to the time), stay tuned to our website at www.rustyquill.com/gaming-and-giving-2020!
Use the hashtag #RQGG20 on social media, as we look forward to seeing fans reactions and preparations for what will be a fantastic day of fun & frolics! And if you’re new to Rusty Quill and wondering what all this is about, well, you can find out how previous events went, over on our YouTube channel with the 2017, 2018 and 2019 live shows all up there.
One more thing – last Saturday we released new merch designs that are now available on our Redbubble and TeePublic stores, including designs for a What The Ghost? logo and a Bone Apple Teeth anatomical drawing! There were a couple of errors with the files that were originally sent, but those have now been corrected, so please visit that post to get the updated images.

Re: annual vs montly subscription, which one is "best" on Rusty Quill's end? I didn't switch instantly to annual because I have no problem passing on the discount if it means giving more money to RQ, but discussing it with friends brought up all the transaction fees, etc., so there's a possibility that you guys actually don't see more of the money from a monthly sub than from yearly…? :O I don't mind much either way, but I want to support you guys in the most efficient way I can =)

You know, after hearing Bryn talk in the Community Enthusigasm episode about how he "can't do horror" and about how he loves shows set in US High Schools, my first thought was, "I wonder how he feels about Buffy?". Guess I'm about to find out!
