#bertie macguffingham
shows up with art one last time for the finale with an RQG rainbow. i have no idea how they’re gonna wrap everything up in an hour but im sure they’ll find a way
[image description]
8 Digital illustrations of the player characters from rusty quill gaming plus Wilde. Each one is drawn in a colour of the rainbow. Hamid is drawn in red and is flying with a blast of fire and electricity. Cel is Orange, and is running to the side with a bomb in their hand - and smoke trailing off their coat and jacket. Bertie is yellow - and is looking down at Brutor who is sitting on his cape with a disgruntled expression. Grizzop is green and is loading his bow. The symbol of Artemus is behind him. . Sasha is blue, and is stepping forwards with her face obscured by her jacket collar and her fire and ice daggers in each hand. they have a bright blue and red circle surround them. Zolf is purple. he has his glave in one hand and in the other he has a glowing ball. Behind him there are ten glowing spears. Azu is pink, and is holding her axe over her shoulder in one hand with the other on her hip. Wilde is drawing in full colour with a white background, and is wearing the robes of the thespian. He is holding both his arms out, with an illusion of a glittery rainbow and the words “Wilde’s fine - stop asking” between them.

We’re so INCREDIBLY excited to share the cover of the RQG zine with you all! It looks absolutely wonderful, and we can promise that the inside of the zine is full of amazing and intricate pieces that showcase the level of skill that our contributors have. We can’t wait for you all to see the zine in its full glory; for now, however, the cover itself will have to do!
The zine will be going on sale 13 February, along with some special extra goodies for all purchasers (more on this later…)
And now, without further ado… the cover!!
[ID: The cover of the RQG Fanzine, styled to look like an old book cover. It has a deep purple background, and reads “We’re Still Working on the Name” in the center of the page. The text is a stylised, golden font surrounded by gears, spirals, and fancy lines. Underneath is a golden falcon, with its wings spread, sitting directly above the text “A Rusty Quill Gaming Fanzine”. At the two bottom corners of this inner section are two stylised hearts. This section is shaped like an arched window, bordered with double golden lines. The area outside of this section is filled with different party motifs, also done in gold. There are arrows on the top left of the page, pointing toward the top corner, and flames on the top right, doing the same. The two sides are mostly symmetrical, containing daggers, wrenches, and gears. The bottom of the page has stylised waves. The outermost part of the border is a series of spirals.]

Happy final epilogue day, everyone!
In honor of the Rusty Quill Gaming main campaign coming to a complete close, we’ve decided to release the RQG Zine for free!

The zine boasts 43 artists (including multi-page profiles of each character, multiple locations pieces for each arc, key events, and fic illustrations), 16 authors, 11 craft contributors (including recipes, cross stitch, crochet, a musical arrangement, and more!), and character doodles from some of the artists in the zine.

We had such incredible contributors, and we know that you’ll love to see all of the content that they created.
Lastly, we would like to once again thank everyone who purchased the zine during our initial sales period. Because of your support, we were able to donate over $4,000 to The Yemen Foundation!
We hope you enjoy the zine!

I don’t even know where to begin with this. RQG ended about a week ago and I’m still thinking about the Finale. I only started listening in May but this podcast brought me so much comfort and joy throughout the summer and into my first year at university. I genuinely cried when it ended and I’m gonna miss it so much! I’m so glad I got a chance to listen while it aired and to meet so many fun characters on the way c:
