Hi all, it's Jonny! You remember, from the Magnus Archives? Turns out I still have a Tumblr and, like everyone else, I'm giving Twitter some sideeye at the moment and looking out some other social medias. I have an Instagram, but I'm a bit too commited to just posting a captionless weird image a few times a year to properly use it. Tiktok's an option, I guess, but feels like a lot of effort. So I thought I might try being on Tumblr a bit more. Y'know, for fun.
To prove it's me, here is a picture of my face with one of my cats, who I love.
"But hang on, Jonny," I hear you cry, "you're a self-employed writer. Surely you wouldn't give us a photo of a beautiful sunlit cat unless you were trying to sell me something, right?"
So, one of the things I've been doing over the last few years is designing TTRPGs with my partner Sasha Sienna (Georgie from the Magnus Archives) as MacGuffin & Co. and we're currently doing a crowdfunder for a two-player roleplaying game, inspired by old adventure gamebooks, called PITCRAWLER.
It's over-the-top fantasy nonsense, full of the sort of wizards you'd see airbrushed onto the side of a van, and we're super proud of it. It's also a great starter game if your interested in tabletop RPGs, but haven't had the chance (or opportunity) to give them a try yet.

"That's wonderful, Jonny," I hear you cry (again), "but why have you tagged it for The Magnus Archives?"
Uhhh... Well, cynical marketing reasons, tbh. But then again, I did write the thing, so I reckon I can probably get away with a post to promote my new project.
Anyway, hope to see y'all around Tumblr a bit more!
