Early access delay

Hey folks!Apologies for this, but I'm afraid to say that today's early access episode for MAG148 has had to be cancelled. Due to unforeseen circumstances, work on the episode cannot be completed in time and so will have to be delayed.We are still hopeful that it'll be ready in time for public release tomorrow, but we cannot guarantee that at the moment. There is also likely to be a knock-on effect for the early access Stellar Firma special.Sincere apologies from all at Rusty Towers and we hope normal service will be resumed shortly....
