My store is running a trivia contest for free tickets to Space City Con. I'm trying out the various questions against you guys to get difficulty ratings. So answer away, though some of these are repeats from previous contests. First up, Dr. Who:
1. Name the second Time Lord to appear on Dr. Who.
2. This villain had the longest gap in appearances between shows
3. Counting radio, this Doctor had the longest run.
4. If Eccleston had turned down the 9th doctor, this well known actor was going to be his replacement.
5. This companion had the longest run in terms of episodes.
6. Which Doctor did the writer try to deliberately sabotage by always adding words they knew would be difficult for him to pronounce?
7. This companion has starred the most number of Doctors.
8. This legendary hair stylist was brought in for the pilot to give the Doctor's companion an unearthly appearance.
9. Which companion was first cast as a character in an episode of the previous Doctor?
10. Which companion was later cast as a villain in a future doctor's episode? |

I will admit I'm pretty disappointed with the latest Dr. Who. It's a rehash of a previous episode, and that one wasn't that good at all either. Remember Idiot's Lantern? Where 10 had to save the world from a guy giving out cheap TV's that then sucked you into the TV? Bells of St. John was the same show, only replace TVs with WIFI and all the plot points are pretty much the same. I don't mind throw back episodes, but don't rehash a bad plot and just change some words. |

Well I sold the rights to Decurion, the RPG I wrote a long time ago. It was never getting printed in any meaningful context. I didn't have the money and the heavily political theme didn't appeal to a lot of people. So a friend from another company offered me some cash and I gave him the mechanics. They wanted it for the Chargen system, the ability to build a fully fleshed out character with a full past in 5 minutes and have it be completely different from any other character was their one want. The rest of the system is probably going to be scrapped, but the 10,000,000,000 possible characters you can build with it is going to live on. |

2151. Just because the dwarf hits name level doesn't mean we owe him a bar mitzvah.
2152. Getting four guys each with a different 25% Mythos Lore doesn't mean we win Call of Cthulhu.
2153. The "fur" and "lust" domains shall never meet.
2154. No reminding my lieutenant that "Neidermeyer" can be used as a verb.
2155. Getting multiple entries in a game's first errata is not a badge of honor.
2156. Even if my metamagician has his twinned, enhanced, empowered, maximized magic missile readied doesn't mean I can tell people to "make my day"
2157. Doesn't matter if we all have different costumes and names, the group is vetoed if its clear we're all Thor.
2158. Using my animal influence ability to send countless animals on a suicide attack is fine, but not to form a chorus line.
2159. Just because my media only but the bare minimum into his journalistic skills doesn't mean he starts at MSNBC.
2160. The ability to calculate Thaco in your head does not increase attractiveness.
2161. Invoking Andre the Giant only works once to win an argument with the storyteller.
2162. Can requisition items nobody in the squad knows how to use.
2163. Before starting an underwear clad pillow fight, I must first make sure the party is not all dwarves.
2164. There will be no further product placement in the mission evaluation videos.
2165. To cut down on the number of Mexican Standoffs, there is only one commissar allowed in the squad now.
2166. The Weeping Angels natural enemy is not the goldfish.
2167. The answer is never "Dwarven River Dance".
2168. No starting a bidding war during character creation to see who the Pet NPC likes best.
2169. Can't use a water gun to make the Aslan follow orders.
2170. Step 1 in the party's preparation for the quest is not a mani/pedi.
2171. Can't reduce the difficulty of an autopsy check by skipping the 'put everything back where you found it' step.
2172. Even if its beneficial, no changing the number of limbs on a character without the other player's consent.
2173. Better benefits doesn't justify alignment conflicts with an organization.
2174. If another PC dies, no bonus xp for going through all 7 stages of grief before the end of the session.
2175. It's best we don't let the paladin anywhere near customs. |

So I spend a lot of money on a new computer. Only there's no sound at all. I take it in to the shop and they fix it for me. They turn it on and there is glorious sound. I get it home and there is no sound. Now I have to take it back to the shop so they can show me there is sound again. Only when I get it home there will be no sound. It's maddening. Or maybe I'm just deaf in that one room of my house. |

My kickstarter is doing well, we're just under 20% and not even a week in. If you want to help if you can't help financially, spread the word. Like the facebook page and post the link on your LJ as well. Only way this is going to hit is if I drag it across the finish line myself. If you guys help with the dragging, all the better. Also I'm on twitter now because of this, GlenWelch@azarkarde. |
