When the Fourth Doctor was on Gallifrey at the Academy (in The Deadly Assassin, I believe), one of his associates comes up and calls him "Thete." (Or maybe "Theta" - it's been awhile.) He replies, "I'm called 'the Doctor' now." But yeah, it's been a standard tradition that Time Lords choose...

Missy insisted "Doctor Who" was the Doctor's real name. She was probably just seeing how gullible Bill was, but still, take it for what it's worth. Johnathan

I know a guy who always used "Your mom" as the answer to all of those questions you'd have to answer correctly to prove it was you when you needed a password reset or whatever. What street did you live on as a kid? - Your mom. What's your father's middle name? - Your mom. What was the name of...

For me, it's David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine in Kung Fu (the original series only; I'm not a fan of the follow-ons) and Patrick McGoohan as Number Six in The Prisoner. So much so that I have difficulties watching them in anything else. (And Patrick was the killer in like four different...

I never realized (until today) that the band Sweet - which I considered a "two-hit wonder" due to "Fox on the Run" and "Ballroom Blitz" - also did "Love is Like Oxygen." I'd heard the song before, but never knew who sang it. And now I know. Johnathan

Actually, this DM is only occasionally a drag. During last night's session he was back on his best behavior, DMing fairly and squarely. That's what makes the sessions where he slips back into his old ways so frustrating - we all know he can be better. And he's a good friend and co-worker in...

In tonight's "Ghourmand Vale" session, the PCs: Were asked to check out the local silver mine by the guy in charge of running it, as he saw the owner bring 10 dwarves in a week ago and hasn't seen them since; he thinks they're dead and he's next, as he was "invited" to the boss's personal vault...

Finished the first "Body Farm" novel and am now staring the second, Flesh and Bone. It turns out the author, Jefferson Bass, is actually a gestalt entity made up of Dr. Bill Bass, the actual creator of the real-life Body Farm (the University of Tennessee's Anthropology Research Facility), and...

As I had traditionally been the full-time DM for years, it's only been a couple of years since I've gotten to play PCs. In the 3.5 campaigns I've played in thus far, I ran a human fighter, then a lizardfolk barbarian/fighter, and am now running an aristocratic human sorcerer. But my next two...
