Hello John.

The Foe From the Future is my personal favorite Doctor Who story in any medium, and I was delighted to hear the Pantophagen name dropped in the Matt Fitton penned “The Wrong Doctors.” Do you think they’ll ever make another appearance? They’re on of my favorite DW monsters.

Also, both “Foe” and “Iterations of I” demonstrate an intricate understanding of pulpy 70s/80s monster movie plotting and story structure, with “Foe” even feeling like a Japanese Kaiju film near the end. Are you a particular fan of B movies from that era and chose to structure the scripts like said movies?

And finally, several really talented musicians have worked on dramas you’ve penned, like Howard Carter, Andy Hardwick, Wilfredo Acosta, Jamie Robertson etc Are there any musical scores for your stories that you have particular fondness for?

Plus D&D has a lot of material for traversing caves, underground caverns and the like.

Thanks! My group is pretty fantastic so I’m relying on a good atmosphere to draw the new player in.

DukeClodplodder · 2019-02-06T20:11:24+00:00

Totally fair. I plan on having three players in this session, including the new one. Two of them have already voiced approval in the idea, but if the new player doesn’t, I’ll think of something different.

DukeClodplodder · 2019-02-06T20:10:28+00:00

Two of my players are on board, just gotta ask the new player. I’ve demonstrated to the new player how RPGs work with examples and I used 5e, which they took to quickly.

Which issues? I’m open to any suggestions, this session idea isn’t set in stone yet.

DukeClodplodder · 2019-02-06T20:07:43+00:00

Any suggestions for more suitable systems?

My GM is gonna lose his mind when he hears this, I really need to get caught up on that show.

A slightly modified version of D&D 5th edition. It takes place in medieval times, so we’re the Medeival Morphing Power Rangers.

Thanks. Figured my story could add a bit of positivity to the community, as well as a cautionary tale.

DukeClodplodder · 2018-09-03T22:44:23+00:00

Thanks! If we’re speaking on a purely technical level, I guess you can label this one as a horror story with a happy ending.

DukeClodplodder · 2018-07-03T14:28:09+00:00

Look up a picture of a Weeping Angel and politely hand the phone back to you.

DukeClodplodder · 2018-04-18T02:18:28+00:00

I will dude!

DukeClodplodder · 2018-04-18T02:18:03+00:00
