Yeah, I use C&C in games I run for my kids - it's also my daughter's go-to system of choice :).

S&W is fantastic. That gets my vote outright. (I might also vote for Castles & Crusades, but that would only be to start arguments about whether it's a real retro-clone or not :P). But S&W is the one for me. OSRIC is also cool. I haven't looked at any of the more recent offerings, though.

Frog God Games have launched their Kickstarter for their new adventure campaign setting thing, Sword of Air. Really cool to see this finally available. There are Pathfinder and Swords & Wizardry version on offer, with the usual goodies. Rappan Athuk and Slumbering Tsar were awesome - can't wait...

It really is. My current campaign was inspired for the most part by that book. Malhavoc's "event" books are all great :).

Hesitation Marks by Nine Inch Nails. That is all.

My sister ran a kickass campaign when we were both still in school. Really intricate and inventive with cool atmosphere. And my wife ran some Ravenloft once, but she had a problem player who was very disruptive and that kinda put her off DMing. Oh, I think she ran Vampire once as well also. So...

I remember Dave Noonan coming onto the WotC Dark Sun boards to chat with us all about the articles. He said that certain additional content (like paladins) weren't in his original writeup, but were added at the insistence of higher-ups. I sort of remember that he said "editors", but I can't find...

I'd love it if Mr Blue Head got the prophecy wrong :D.

Yeah, I thought that the Valeyard came late in the Doctor's timeline, some kind of penultimate incarnation, or an interim manifestation like the Watcher or that Tibetan dude. Hurt could be playing an aged version of Doctor #8, who forsook his own name in order to fight the Time War. When he...

Somewhere between 30 and 40. These are the ones I could recall off the top of my head: All Flesh Must Be Eaten Castle (homebrew system) Castles & Crusades Changeling: the Dreaming Conan d20 D&D Dark Ages: Mage Demon: the Fallen Dread Elric Gamma World Hackmaster Hunter: the Reckoning In Nomine...

This is a great D&D movie. I used it as the plot of a one-shot some years back - worked really well pretty much unaltered.

Rogue Trooper and Nemesis. The former mainly because of his gear - it had those chips with the digital versions of his dead buddies, which I thought were so cool when I was a kid. And Nemesis because it was just such an alien idea. Totally brilliant.

I thought Love and Monsters was lots of fun. As for the more recent episodes, I've completely given up on them making sense. I watch the show with my kids and my metric for "is it a good episode?" is simply "did the kids laugh, jump, hide or look otherwise engaged?" If so, then it's a good...

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. There were some lovely moments and a few cool callbacks. I like the new companion - will be interesting to see how she develops. Yes, after the fact the episode doesn't really hold up to scrutiny, but I can't deny that I was actively enjoying it. That's a far cry...

Still, they managed to upload Craig Owens (James Corden's recurring character) - anybody else spot him in the wall of tv screens? I wonder if he downloaded back into his body?

Ice warriors? And was that a draconian I saw as well? Er, awesome! Like the new Cybermen as well. Very sleek.

I ran this back in the day - lots of fun. You could progress a character as far into their career as you liked during chargen. So if you wanted to play the ship captain, you could roll up that character pretty succesfully. In fact, senior bridge crew came out super-competent in their fields of...

He actually does exactly that in the video :D. Good on him for being honest. Very refreshing.

Fantastic! I loved this show when I was a wee nipper :D.
