Re: OOC

Smoke Alarm:
Sorry, Traveller, I don't mean to keep ignoring you, I just had an idea I wanted to play out. And I'd already most of my post when you posted. But Smoke will talk to you now. :)

In my last DWAITAS game, one of the PCs played the 11th Doctor, but Smoke figured he was just an Inbetween who dressed like a Rezzie and didn't get to talk to him for long. I had an idea for how she could confirm him to be the Doctor, via the TARDIS, though she didn't get to see it before the game petered out. Now, I get a second shot at it. :) The madness should make some sense soon. ;)

Of course, this means Smoke met the later Doctor and never recognised him, and so wouldn't think to tell the Traveller. :(


That's fine - the very last time the Marshall (Traveller) saw the Doctor was immediately after the War Doctor regenerates into the Ninth Doctor, activates a pre-programmed signal that activates her own Type 50 Tardis after asking the Marshall to get something from her old TARDIS, sending her hurtling into R-Space. So, she saw 9 for just a moment and the War Doctor is the last Doctor she was familiar with.  If she were shown a picture, she'd say, "I have no idea who that skinny clown is. Nope, don't know the jerk with the bowtie is either. Gah, look at that chin."

In the RPGNet threads, Trav laughs at someone at UNIT telling her that the Doctor is alive and is wearing a fez and bowtie. Generally, the hint is that the 9th, 10th and 11th Doctors are having their full run of adventures in the Always Time To Travel setting, but that they're hilariously missing each other - at least until Gary decides it's time for the Doctor and the Traveller to meet. Note that I may have this entirely wrong.

Re: OOC

Cool. It's always fun connecting our own adventures to the setting. Hence Smoke tagging the Doctor's TARDIS. :D

Re: OOC

Sorry Trav. Smoke's a suspicious Kang, and you hit one of her buttons. ;)

And why do you and Stanley quote everyone's posts in full all the time? The context is usually clear, especially when posts follow right on.

Re: OOC

Sereth:
No idea about any readings she might get. I know the Draconians were at the height of their power in about the 26th century; but not too sure about when they became extinct.


Trav will find that unlike Smoke Alarm, Sereth is definitely of this time.  While there might not be perfect continuity of the Draconian Empire -- many dynasties, multiple times when it collapses entirely -- from their TV appearance, they've been viable as a species all that time.

Insofar as this contradicts Trav's expectations, she should draw the conclusion "the Time War did it."  It has already been established that some other powers have filled in some of the empty space left by the disappearance of the Daleks in particular, and thus Trav has been wrong about what she knows before.

Re: OOC

The combined DWEU for the Draconians has them going all the way through the 101st century:
http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Draconian
So it's feasible for them to still be around and significant here in 197th or so.

That's what makes time travel so interesting!

Also, just like human empires, Draconian empires can rise and fall in the time stream.

Re: OOC

<quote The Traveller>OOC: Trav is using the TARDIS to listen in on local nets and frequencies, to gather some news so that the team can devise a plan as to what to do next. Perception+Knowledge+Research Capsule?
Sure, roll it.

Re: OOC

2d6+Perception (3) + Knowledge (8)+Research Capsule (2)

10:19, Today: The Traveller rolled 19 using 2d6+14. Trav - Roll to check local networks.

That should be 2d6+13, so the total result should be 18.

Re: OOC

... it is stinking hot here. Sorry, my brain's not dealing well with this heat.

I'll see about getting in a post tomorrow at work. We have AC; and as long as I can get a decent night's sleep tonight should be okay.

Re: OOC

I thought you reptiles enjoyed the heat. :p

Where are you? I'm in Perth, Australia, and we have a four-day-long 38–39 °C heatwave coming up, with no working AC. D:

We'll probably reach around 42 in January; but yeah.

In my defence my formative years were spent in Holland.

Re: OOC

FWIW, don't be too anxious about making out-of-sequence posts just because it feels like the narrative has moved on, at this point at least.  At this point the characters are all still getting a feel for each other, so as much interaction as possible is to the good.

Hey Gary, can you pull Trav's stats from the rpgnet thread, so I can add them to the character sheet here?

I've dumped the stats for Trav and her TARDIS on your character sheet.  It's good to be the king!

I hope no one minds Smoke yammering on. I don't have a lot to contribute at this stage, but don't like sitting quiet. :)

Re: OOC

Yeah; I'm ignoring the 'Doctor' references as I don't think events that happened so long ago are even remembered in history anymore; even legends would be stretching it.
