"Who's a Viking?" Topic

Yes, in this Playtest, we took Dr Who to Denmark for our game!
Different, and it was nice to see my friend Lawrence's nice Viking settlement again!

If you want to see how well the game went, please go to this link

Enjoy!

Good looking table, guess will stay tuned

"Phil, running Leela, took her forward on a reconnaissance."

"Reconnaissance", is that what the kids are calling it these days?

One issue I see is it's all looking very Covid Dr Who.

There seems to be huge gaps between people.

I get it for the groups being separated, but when an enemy appears and there seems to be some situation, but he's miles away, it seems odd.

He could try it with 54mm, which would make a character driven game more characterful, or just shorten some distances, or the distance to activate an enemy, or something.

Also, no monk? Disappointed.

Leela scuffed the paint on my lorry one Friday evening.

I had to pull wide to negotiate a zebra crossing and she attempted to cut me up on the nearside. I ended up impaling her car and had to dragoon pedestrians to drag it off my lorry's side bumpers.

Yes I did check my nearside mirrors before turning, yes I was concentrating on not running over pedestrians, yes I was not expecting a nearside cut-up.

Good looking but not very bright.

"Leela scuffed the paint on my lorry one Friday evening."

Well my mind went elsewhere and I thought scuffing the paint on a car bonnet more realistic, while also wondering why you didn't mention the damage she did to the springs.

Then I read the rest.

Reminds me of Gillian Anderson.

Sounds really intelligent in the X files, save one ep where she was drunk and acting like a dits.

Then I saw an interview with her and realised that was how she really was.

A bit disappointing, but obviously a great actress.

Adele's voice is another that springs to mind.

Back to Who, and I don't think Wendy or Frazer actually did much acting, other than his voice. At least in how well they got on.

They seemed much the same at a con I saw them at.

Along with Patrick, they were probably the best grouping. On and Off camera.

And to come full circle with the cheekyness, watch the scene in Invasion on the airplane HQ with the brigadier tapping his batton on his shoulder while they are waiting, with text information on, and look at Wendy's reaction.

From memory it's quite humorous.

I get it for the groups being separated, but when an enemy appears and there seems to be some situation, but he's miles away, it seems odd.

I entirely agree!, the situation occurred due to way the Portal Markers were shepherded, which meant we had to go looking for them to get the 'Ideas Cards' we needed to solve the mystery of what the Sea Devils were doing. Unfortunately, our dicing was diabolical, and the system kept churning out more and more Sea Devils! One of our players also forgot he needed 5 of the same colour card before he could win, so they left my poor K-9 out to dry!
Ah well! It was at least a good way of getting the last few modifications to the rules in!

By the way, I have 'bitten the bullet' and sent the rules to our computer expert to put on our website. I will let you know when this has been done so you can take a look.

Thanks.

It will be interesting to see how you have it operate and how they work like the shows storytelling.

The rules are up, at the bottom of the list on this webpage: link

Just a couple so far.

Doesn't McGuffin relate to MacGyver?? Not sure but worth checking, so you don't cross the streams. Augh, there's another one.

Also you missed that the 7th doctor (who you missed entirely) was with Ace. The Sixth doctor was never with Ace.

And you missed the 8th, movie, doctor and companions.

And it was one movie, not movies, at that point.

Thanks, I was following a thing I downloaded and copied it wrong re Ace, and missed Mel who also travelled with the 7th Doctor.

Re McGuffin, I used that as its become a normal usage term.

The 8th Doctor I intentionally missed – and the Movie, BTW when I said movies I was including the Peter Cushing one!

Thanks for your input! – If you see anything else please let me know!

The error has been corrected on our website now!

"the Peter Cushing one!"

Two.

I'll try to give it all a better look.

I only picked a few obvious bits.
