As soon as we have more information we’ll let you know. In the meantime… The Statement Continues…
Caption reads Make Your Statement
The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game takes you deep into the Archives to experience the world of the podcast with amazing art, detailed lore, and the chance to investigate new statements.
Work alongside Jonathan and Martin, Basira, Daisy, and the rest of the Magnus Institute staff—or create your own branch of investigators.
Encounter the NotThem, the Anglerfish, or The Man Upon the Stair. Learn the truth of the books of Jurgen Leitner, the coffin that is also a pit, and The People’s Church of the Divine Host. Or experience new statements, new horrors, and new adventures—some written by Jonathan Sims himself—and even create your own!
Winter has arrived in here Kansas! Are you staying warm, deep within the archives? Is the darkness that shrouds you like a blanket keeping you—and whatever else lurks in there—warm? We hope so…and we hope that, no matter what you’re celebrating, you have a cozy December!
This is a tradition here at MCG: we give you a $10 coupon for the MCG Shop. Use it to get a little something for yourself or a loved one—or turn it into a donation to one of three charities we’re supporting this holiday season. We make the donation (100% goes to the charity) and you pay nothing!
The deluxe edition of The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game reached our US warehouse recently. There were some unfortunate freight delays getting it to our UK and Australia warehouses, though, but those are now substantively resolved—so we hope to begin fulfillment of this beautiful book in the days to come. Look for an email from us soon!
The Magnus Archives Playmat has come to life!
We’ve received printer samples of the Magnus Archives Playmat from two different vendors and picked the strongest one (the one on top in the photo). It’s an oversized playmat like many we’ve done in the past, and it is currently in production. Because it’s coming from China, it won’t end up shipping until after Chinese New Year early next year, but we’re very excited to get this out to you! Thank you once again for helping us bring this handy tool to life.
We have incredibly exciting news to share with you today, backers—if you love the Magnus Archives RPG and all the high-quality, immersive supplements we're making for it, you won’t want to miss this…
STATEMENT BEGINS. There is a game. It seems to be about...me. Well, us. The whole team. They're playing through my memories. They're—lord—they're creating new investigations. New statements. New webs. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of something. Something big.
Crowdfunding early 2025, The Magnus Archives: Tangled in the Web is your chance to get the corebook, as well as supplements and exclusive items, with, as always, fantastic crowdfunding deals! (If you like A Guest for Mr. Spider, well, there may be similar exclusives in this campaign.) Don't miss it!
