Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space Review

For someone who grew in a country where the Doctor was, and largely is, nothing but a name we know very, very little about, it only took me a few episodes of the series to get infatuated with the character and companions hopping from adventure to adventure. Even though I wasn’t all that keen on the actor portraying the Doctor, the story and extremely clever writing that came with it really got me hooked.

The G*M*S Magazine Episode 65 – Sarah Newton and Mindjammer Press

You might remember that a few episodes ago we started a discussion about art and role playing games. At the time, we had some difficulties with audio and Rob couldn’t stay online due to bad internet connection.

This time, Rob is in a much better place and can talk for ages about the subject, so we can hear what he has to say. And some of the things he says are very, very interesting, even if I have to throw a few challenging questions back at him!

The G*M*S Magazine Podcast Episode 64–More Spiel with Dr Mike Reddy

With so many interviews from Spiel and so many episodes to come, including the ones for the RPG section of the podcast, it felt only right to record one episode with Dr Reddy to ask and answer questions about Spiel and the state of games at the show.

Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space RPG Unboxing

An RPG that takes a well known hero and brings him close to us and enables us to play those heroes take a great risk. The risk of disappointing us.

That is what Cubicle 7 has done with the Doctor Who: Adventure in Time and Space RPG, take a risk. Both because people will have great expectations of the game,and secondly because it is a dear license for the BBC and great care has to be taken to portray the much loved TV series as well as possible.

The G*M*S Magazine Podcast Episode 63–Spiel report and Chronicles of Skin

I couldn’t help myself! Should have waited for Dr Reddy to be around, but I had to give you my report on Spiel 2012.

The show was quite amazing this year. Children were on holidays so, unlike other years, they were able to attend the show before Saturday. This made the first two days a lot busier than they’d normally be. Usually they are a lot quieter and Saturday goes mental with number of people.
