It seems that there are DWAITAS and TOR articles in the next issue of Gygax Magazine. The DWAITAS article is by Jay Libby, who worked on Aliens And Creatures.
Which seems slightly out of step with the All Early D&D All The Time that the rest of the magazine seems to be. Still, this is welcome, and would be even more if Gygax was available in stores...

Initium
A short film in which time travel is possible but highly unlikely could provide inspiration for a time-is-going-wonky sequence in a big series finale, as well as being really neat.

Neil Gaiman on Twelve
Writing about Twelve, that is, not writing for Twelve. Fingers crossed there.
This post addresses his casting, as well as the Doctor’s race and gender. (He notes that a black actor has been offered the role before. I know that there was also serious talk of casting a woman as the Doctor as early as the Fifth. Those arguing against either development wouldn’t have tradition on their side if it had already happened.)

And now the DWAITAS news
Quoting Gar, here:
We were planning on a new core set print run anyway - stocks of the Eleventh Doctor box sets are running low. A new core set won't impact on planned schedules, like the ongoing release of the historical Doctor books. There won't be, I hope, any significant delay caused by the redesign of the core.
Remember those screentest scenes?
These? I can now easily imagine how they might sound as played by Twelve. Particularly the threatening spaceship talk (now removed from the site by request of DWM) which starts off breezy and whimsical and now I can hear the hint of menace building.
“But facts are facts, they’re behind the magic line, and that’s the way it is now.”
As read by Imaginary Matt, a cheery little smile and shrug.
As read by Imaginary Twelve, a hint of a smirk and a slight narrowing of the eyes.

Twelve really IS a fan.
An essay on how good the Doctor Who titles are, written in 1976 by the Twelfth Doctor.
And in 1972 he was kindly sent a shooting script for The Mutants and set designs by Barry Letts after a letter asking how the show is made. So that factored in to him becoming an actor in the first place.

The Twelfth Doctor is...
I imagine if you're looking at this page you already know and/or don’t mind a spoiler, but cut anyway.
Neil deGrasse Tyson IS the Doctor! (Last one, I promise!)
Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey trailer. Neil deGrasse Tyson takes over the chair in the ship of the imagination from Carl Sagan.
The great stories, the ones that really mattered...
Also found there, Seven Things That Make A Truly Great Doctor Who Story. Most of them apply to any adventure story, but the sixth is particularly Doctor-y. And players need to remember the seventh...
Doctor Who Regenerated
From Lydia Butz, creator of Search For The Truth, comes Doctor Who Regenerated. The link goes to the first adventure, now complete including clever resolution, and followed by an aside about a perfectly natural response to “if I had a time machine where would I go?”

The Twelfth Doctors
Soon we will know.
The potential energy of a hundred uncast Twelfth Doctors is about to be released.
Do you have any questions for the Twelfth Doctor?
But for now, looking at the odds and based entirely on what the talked-up actors have done before, imagining what their Doctors and adventures might be like. All but one have been in the show, but that never stopped Colin Baker or Freema Agyeman or Karen Gillan...

A 35-foot-tall straw Dalek looms over the countryside.
“Some people have no’ got enough to do. Definitely...”
My mother, on seeing this post.
I feel like I should offer a plot hook, something about crazy Dalek-worshipping crazy people who are crazy... but... yeah...
