Well, I’m not sure I should be engaging in “spoilers”. I usually end up wrong when I guess stuff. So, that first episode of the festive special proved thoroughly enjoyable. I have to admit to a fan-fueled tear at the final shot… Anyway, I happy for the ‘enemy’ to be defeated provided that doesn’t mean…
I have to say I’m glad I’ve stumbled across ‘Ahistory: An Unauthorised History of the Doctor Who Universe’. I’m suprised I wasn’t aware of it’s existence before now. I have treasured ‘A History of the Universe’ by Lance Parkin for a dozen years or more. I have a fetish for encyclopedic works about fictional and…
I noted on Twitter that Cubicle 7 had announced the release of Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space as a PDF, through DriveThruRPG and RPGNow. I haven’t got my own copy at the moment, which irks a little… I’d love to have my hands on it right now. Others have been opening the box…
Just noted that there’s a favourable review of the new Doctor Who RPG in the latest issue of SFX.

I have been getting up 5am every morning this week. I know I should be getting up at that time anyway to get in some writing, but it rarely happens. In this instance, it has been a matter of necessity rather than choice. Someone has ruined my already horrible commute. I travel about 75 miles…
Heck, I’m not going to lie – I weep at the drop of a hat when it comes down to films and TV shows with favourite characters. I still shed a tear when Spock or Kirk dies – in Star Trek II and VII, respectively. Waving goodbye to the crew of the Galactica was like…
Certain moments in time are fixed… I’m thrilled to see that the countdown is well and truly running now toward a known air time for ‘The Waters of Mars’. With the new trailer up on the official web site, the date is set – Sunday, 15th November. Just nine days to go… and then the…
We played a game of Power Grid yesterday for the first time. Bought the copy at a gaming event over the summer when we were looking for recommendations on a good new game.
