I’d really like for my next contest to be "Use your favorite RPG system to stat up your favorite character from either The Conqueror’s Shadow or Agents of Artifice." But my contests so far haven’t had huge numbers of entrants, so I’m not sure that there would be enough interest in something so esoteric–or (believe it or not) that there’s enough overlap between fans of my fiction and RPG gamers.
What do you folks think? Any interest?
And a new Suvudu column for your entertainment, edification, and enlightenment. (It also cures athlete’s foot and improves gas mileage. Results not guaranteed.) Today, I talk about secondary worlds, point out an area of fantasy where they’re not only not dominant, but almost utterly absent, and ponder a bit on why that is.
Best. New Who finale. Ever.
Yes, there are some holes, but not nearly enough to ruin my appreciation of the episode. And it’s got me absolutely hyped for next season.
More like this, please.
(More in-depth discussion, with spoilers, somewhere down the road.)
I’m trying to figure out if I’ve literally seen every bit of New Who footage. (I’m talking about actual broadcasts of episodes and the like, not stuff like Doctor Who Confidential. And right now, at least, I’m just looking for televised stuff, not audio dramas or written fiction.)
So, I’ve seen every proper episode of New Who, from Eccleston on. I’ve seen both "Time Crash" and the Children in Need special whose name I forget, but which took place right after the regeneration from Eccleston to Tennant. I’ve seen the two animated specials, "Dreamland" and "The Infinite Quest." (Neither of which were all that great, to be honest, but not awful.) And I’ve seen the two-part story of the Sarah Jane Adventures in which Tennant appeared as the Doctor.
So, am I missing anything? Is there anything else out there that stars/includes any of the three newest Doctors?
I recently did an interview with the folks at the Darker Days and Darkling podcasts; you can listen to it here.
Topics of discussion include D&D, World of Darkness, fiction writing (both past and future), and appliances.
My thanks to everyone involved for the invitation and opportunity. And to you guys for sitting through it. 😉
It may be the sleepiness talking, but I’m suddenly feeling the urge to run a Dark Sun campaign in which the PCs are templars and other servants of one of the Sorcerer Kings, tasked with keeping the peace and investigating crimes in their home city-state.
And for whom failure to close a case is potentially punishable by death, either in the arena or as sacrifice.
I shall put it in the stack with the other 24,917 campaigns I want to run "at some point."
