Dan Slott's Silver Surfer was very Doctor Who but...

Comics writer Dan Slott has always said his run of Marvel’s Silver Surfer with artist Michael Allred was a love letter to Doctor Who and a number of the plots could inspire Whovian adventures, but one of the thirty stories started as a Who pitch...

One big adventure

From the Doctor Who Comic-Con panel, a teaser, a look at John Bishop in action as Dan, an introduction to Jacob Anderson as Vindor, possibly an Egyptian tomb, and news that this season will be a serial.

Doctor Who Roleplaying Game second edition

Cubicle 7 confirmed today that the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game second edition is on its way. Hardback not a box, 13 on the cover. A revised and streamlined system (how much more streamlined can it be - I would guess more unified Traits) and a bigger section of creating TARDISes and other time machines.

Operation Time Fracture, an immersive Doctor Who adventure

Operation Time Fracture launches today in London. I would like to go to there. 

It looks to be on the interative end of immersive theatre, with the hashtag #BeTheHero. Not quite a LARP but bumping into that area. Fifty quid a go.

The new era of Doctor Who began sixteen years ago tonight. It’s been back longer than it was away. I talked about how that felt six years ago here.

The 90s comics Doctor that never quite was

Via Vworp Vworp! -

In 1997 Matt Bookman came up with a proposal for a BBC SF magazine with Doctor Who, Red Dwarf and more comics, called The Sci-Files and then Robot. It got as far as a dummy issue, with a new Doctor design.

The look is very “character actor in a mismatched historical costume” as DIY Doctors often are. The likeness started out (to me) looking quite Christopher Plummer, and then a bit Alan Rickman, and ended up kind of a blond Peter Wyngarde without the moustache.

And I like that opening. “I only know I’m running. I don’t know when I started, or where I’m going...” Of course it starts with running.
