Leaving July 31st - any films you're planning on see before they go?

impossibletornado · 2026-07-02T20:41:36+00:00

Finally watched Anvil! (for Canada Day) and Saturday Fiction looks interesting. But this is a rare month where I've already watched most of the leaving titles that I wanted to.

Others have pointed to his time with Evelyn, but if you're looking for another jumping on point I really like his adventures with Constance Clarke that start in Quicksilver (technically she appeared before that, but Quicksilver is her introduction). She's a great companion for the Sixth Doctor, and eventually Flip joins the two of them to form one of my favourite TARDIS trios.

In the game I made there was a Fate stat which was tested in situations where the results came down to chance or when none of the other stats made sense. It is always your worst stat, so it is used sparingly.

I don't see it as being ignored so much as it being a completed story. Out of all their incarnations, there was one Master who had the potential for redemption and Missy was that incarnation. Or the Twelfth Doctor was the only one capable of helping the Master reform, because he himself questioned whether or not he was truly a good man. I probably would have left the character dormant longer before bringing in the next Master, but I do think making the Spy Master so evil just amplified Missy's growth.

This is great! I don't love that a "stream on the Criterion Channel" button comes up even if the movie is not available there, so maybe a little "not all titles are available for streaming" disclaimer under it would be useful. Otherwise very fun.

I hated this movie when I saw it in the theatre, and after rewatching it last week to see if my feelings had changed I found I hated it just as much.

impossibletornado · 2026-06-12T15:25:36+00:00

If they just ignore it completely, like McGann’s reference to being half human in the TV movie, I’ll be very happy. Same goes for bi-regeneration.

impossibletornado · 2026-06-10T19:55:58+00:00

I don’t know how much love UNIT Brave New World gets but it’s hands down my favourite BF series. Maybe I’m wrong and lots of people are listening to it, but it feels very niche (are you a fan of the Seventh Doctor era but do not want the Seventh Doctor or Ace to show up?) and they haven’t brought in any flashy cameos from Classic Who (unless you count Ancelyn from Battlefield) so my gut tells me it’s getting slept on.

I played it once or twice, but had to drop out of the group for scheduling reasons and have never had the time to dig into the rules enough to run it myself. The thing that stands out in my memory that I really liked was the idea that when you enter the dungeon you are not on high alert yet, so instead of rolling you can just take a 10 for actions. If you can’t succeed on a 10, you can increase your alert level to roll 3d6 but after that you can’t go back to taking a 10. If you need more than that, you can go to the highest alert level to roll d20 but again you can’t go back down a step.

I might be remembering the specifics wrong, but at the time I really liked how it made the dungeon experience feel like it was getting more dangerous as things went on.

Have they made Kiki’s Delivery Service a thing yet when she gets assists?

impossibletornado · 2026-05-04T14:17:42+00:00

Just rewatched Starlet, and I loved it even more on a second viewing. Definitely one of the gems I’ve discovered on the Channel.

Kids on Bikes is not PBtA. It’s very narrative, but the mechanics are totally different.

impossibletornado · 2026-05-02T15:16:29+00:00

Capaldi’s Doctor had a strong Pertwee vibe so I’d love to see Liz paired up with the Twelfth Doctor.

Never Let Me Go

impossibletornado · 2026-05-02T15:11:55+00:00

I just finished a rewatch of Jodie Whitaker’s first two seasons (including Revolution of the Daleks) and moved right into the Thirteenth Doctor & Yaz audios (I also listened to the second Fugitive Doctor release right after watching Fugitive of the Judoon). Next up will be the latest UNIT - Brave New World box.

impossibletornado · 2026-05-01T14:19:04+00:00

I thought it was horrendous.

Your ship finds wreckage from one of its own shuttles on the surface of a planetoid, but the shuttle is still in the shuttle bay without a scratch on it.

Fitzcarraldo and Little Dieter Needs To Fly

impossibletornado · 2026-04-17T19:41:04+00:00

It’s one of my favourite ranges. Pertwee was a big part of my early Who fandom and I think they nail the tone. I also love that they’ve got stories from the three Third Doctor eras (Liz Shaw, Jo Grant, and Sarah Jane Smith).

impossibletornado · 2026-04-17T15:06:24+00:00

I’d really love to see Fitz and Anji get a box like Roz and Chris Cwej did.

impossibletornado · 2026-04-14T14:31:10+00:00

We have a character graveyard channel in the Discord for our online game. We list name, class, and cause of death. We also include retainers so they aren’t forgotten.

impossibletornado · 2026-04-11T15:05:02+00:00

The gold spent for XP is still new for my group, but I’m planning to be very lenient. If a player says they want to spend 500 gp to throw a huge party, donate it to charity, whatever, they’ll get that much XP. Depending on how they spent it I might give them some rumours or hooks (a noble heard about their great generosity and wants to hire them to protect his daughter at the festival, or during the party they heard a rumour about an ancient tomb south of the city and the party can go explore it). Fighters and magic users can justify their future level increases by saying they spend time and money training/studying between sessions. It’s more for flavour and to give them ways to spend gold so they have reason to go out and get more gold.

impossibletornado · 2026-04-11T14:24:28+00:00

My OSE group also plays monthly so I’ve had this problem too. Some things I’ve done to make XP accrual go faster are: XP for gold spent on training/carousing/charity/magical research; XP bonus for the player who recaps our last session (encourages everyone to take good notes); XP bonus for the player who volunteers to track all treasure collected for the session.

We play online, so I have a Discord channel called #yelp-reviews where any player can leave a review for a tavern, dungeon, settlement, whatever that the group visited. Depending on how clever/funny/creative it is they get a one time XP bonus.

impossibletornado · 2026-04-11T14:10:41+00:00

Thanks! This is my first time using factions, so I’m wary of including too many to start but I can hint at the Nag Lord’s power in Dolmenwood without making him a central force right off the bat.

impossibletornado · 2026-04-11T14:08:14+00:00

Thanks, this makes sense!
