The Magnus Archives

Podcast to Tabletop

The Magnus Archives is a horror fiction podcast produced by Rusty Quill. It ran for five seasons and became one of the most popular story podcasts of its kind, mixing anthology-style statements with a growing serialized plot about the mysterious Magnus Institute and the entities it studies.

The story is continuing in a new sequel, The Magnus Protocol, which is currently in progress.

In addition to the podcast, there is now an official roleplaying game published by Monte Cook Games, which lets players explore statements and build their own investigations in the same style as the show. You can find it here: The Magnus Archives RPG at Monte Cook Games.

That’s it in a nutshell: a horror podcast turned TTRPG, with more story on the way.
