Sunday adventure hook: Exile

Exile

On a distant world, far in the future, the travellers find exactly one human. A human who vanished from Earth in the 1900s...

“Okay, how did he get here?”
“He says he escaped an alien smuggling ship.”
“Anyone we knew?”

New Paradigm Dalek Miniatures

As painted yonks ago, and reupping for a thread on Lead Adventure.

The Hollow Planet

The Hollow Planet, a print-and-play escape game at home, coming soon from the makers of the official Doctor Who escape room A Dalek Awakens.

Sunday adventure hook: The Wild Hunt

The Wild Hunt

Steal this and apply to Time Lord:

An action thriller about an immortal trying to out run the two grim reaper bounty hunters tasked with finally laying them rest. Cue close calls much in the style of Final Destination.

Here they come.

“So is this normal?”
“Not even by my standards.”

Three years of Thirteen

Jodie Whittaker was revealed as the Thirteenth Doctor three years ago today.

Sunday adventure hook: Day Of Honour

Day Of Honour

(Named after the online launch of the Star Trek Adventures Klingon Empire Rulebook)

A fantasy or sci-fi Olympics or other sporting competition is a tried and tested trope idea, I’ve done it more than once. But consider the kind of politicking that goes into getting to stage a major sporting event. How do you prepare for an interplanetary tournament?

“Can we have a laser show without starting an interplanetary war?”

The Sarah Jane Mini Adventures

The Hand of Fear and The Masque Of Mandragora cut to half an hour each.

Sunday adventure hook: The Rite Of Spring

The Rite Of Spring

The first performance of The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky is said to have caused a riot. This seems to be an embellishment of later reviews based on it being booed, but let’s find out...

“So it’s about a human sacrifice dancing herself to death? Fun.”
“Yeah, lets hope nobody starts doing it for... oh, here we go...”

Carry On Doctor... Who

Discovering the potential existence of Carry On To Moscow got me wondering, since they did Spying (spy-fi) and Screaming (horror, aimed at the Hammer house style of lurid colours) and had quite a few actors in common including William Hartnell and Jon Pertwee, why Carry On never had a go at time travel...

Imagining Sid James as the Locum and Barbara Windsor as his bosom companion, with Kenneth Williams as the Supervisor...

Sunday adventure hook: Out, Out Brief Candle

Out, Out Brief Candle

Inspired by my birthday on Friday... and Happy Death Day...

Someone interrupts the Stranger’s birthday to kill her.

And as she dies, she realises that this happened on her last birthday as well. She sends the rest of the travellers back there.

And they see her die again. And she sends them back another year...

“What do you get for the woman who has everything? Or could potentially due to the time and space machine she lives in?”

“Right now I’m thinking Kevlar.”

Cold, Minty Extermination

Via SFX: Dalek’s Death Ray from Wall’s ice cream in 1975. I always figured the death ray would be hot.

Sunday adventure hook: Days’ Father

Days’ Father

Because Father’s Day has been done...

The founding of a calendar, and just what does it count up to? What do its ancient devisers know that we don’t?

And indeed, why is our New Year a week and a bit after a solstice? And why do we have a Roman month calendar, so many Norse god days of the week and an ancient Greek Zodiac?

“But the world didn’t end in 2012!”
“Yeah, funny story...”

Happy birthday Jodie Whittaker!

Sunday adventure hook: The Onyx Path

The Onyx Path

In honour of this weekend’s Onyx Path Virtual Convnion, and if Chris Chibnall can call a two-parter Spyfall...

A world under a blue-grey sun, the one new construction since some unspoken disaster is a gleaming black pathway leading... where?

“Why are we going this way?”

“It’s so shiny!”
