    How many people have you played D&D with?

    If I opened it to all RPG then it's be in the range of 41-60, but just face to face D&D about 30 as I can't remember everybody that I played with at school when I started 30 years ago (we had a lot that played maybe 3-5 sessions and gave up or went into different groups). If I hadn't had a...

    Doctor Who: Love and Monsters

    I actually liked this episode as it was a break from the Dr Who norm and it did some fun things with the behaviour of fans.

    Do close friends make less-effective players?

    Not for me, but then again both groups I game with are largely made up of people who have or do GM so we understand the importance of the GM's role and authority.

    Torchwood: They Keep Killing Suzie

    I liked this episode even though it had some plot holes in it and decided continuity issues from the rest of the series (Ianto and Jack's relationship for example). Did anyone else notice that the drug they give to people is nicknamed "retcon"?

    Doctor Who - "The Satan Pit"

    This was a satisfying conclusion to a good two parter. I think I maybe prefer the Impossible Planet slightly more if only for the opening when the Ood surround the Doctor and Rose saying "we must feed" (not spoilered as its the pre credit sequence).

    ICC--Cnc Assault on Blacktooth Ridge

    IC: Beregost says "Come friends, let us see what Old Man Nester is like" and sets out towards the farmhouse saying goodbye to the children.

    What's up with Scottish Dwarves?!?

    For much the same reasons my dwarves are portrayed with a Yorkshire accent (my attempt to do a Sir Geoffrey Boycott).

    How much profanity in your game?

    Some, but its pretty much end of the pier stuff (ok, British cultural reference). I suspect that us Brits tend to be a bit less fussy about it as we have a cultural tradition of fart jokes and Benny Hill so unless you've got a very serious deep immersion group there are usually quips flying.

    Torchwood: Greeks Bearing Gifts

    I actually enjoyed this episode, but at times the Torchwood team seem to be the office from hell rather than what is supposed to be a high caliber intelligence unit. Then again with what the real UK security services were like in the past (at least according to Spycatcher) maybe that is realism.

    Ability Score Survival, Round 1 - FIGHT!

    I went with Cha even though in 3.5 it is a much more useful attribute than in some earlier editions.

    You scored as Character Player. The Character Player enjoys creating in-depth characters with distinct and rich personalities. He identifies closely with his characters, feeling detached from the game if he doesn’t. He takes creative pride in exploring different characters, often making...

    Doctor Who -- "The Impossible Planet"

    I enjoyed this two parter a lot, but not as much as the two parter that ends the season. The sf/horror plot may be a little bit cliched (Event Horizon, Doom), but it was well done.

    Which Thanksgiving do you celebrate?

    Harvest Festival is pretty rare in the Uk, maybe still celebrated amongst church goers, but that'd be about it.

    Does getting treasure equal fun?

    Yes, but not as much as killing things and taking their stuff.

    How Many Groups Do You Play In?

    Two, partly because my first was on near indefinite sabbatical and also because I thought I needed to game with different people to develop as a gamer.

    How Many PC's Do You Control?

    I've only had multiple characters in the same game back when we were starting out and we only had a couple of players, since then I've sometimes run another players character in a session that they weren't there for, but I wouldn't like to try and run two PCs at once. No problem with multiple...
