Re: The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread
Thank you very much, though that was actually long-term planning rather than improvisation. If you ever read the first adventure in this campaign, The Terror Out of Time, you'll see just how long I've been planning it, as that's when I planted the seeds. Anna just happened to fit so perfectly into what I was already planning to do, and she isn't the only investigator in this game where things worked out like that. That also tended to happen a lot with Space Oddity, where I was able to get many disparate characters involved in the plot despite their differing backgrounds.

Re: The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread
Yep. I've read a few of the past campaigns, it was pretty amazing how much thought and dedication was put into making them 'pop'. Personally, I'm loving every moment of this and it's amazing watching the plot unfold before my eyes.

Re: The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread
Merry Christmas! I just saw the new Doctor Who special.
You're welcome, and thank you to the players for also making this campaign happen and for sticking with it for so long. I couldn't do it without you! I'm glad you're enjoying it.DrPeterson wrote:Oh wow, I've been here for five years already, trying to escape christmas

Re: The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread
I'm watching it @ 7:30 tonight on ABC! No spoilers, but is the special any good?
Re: The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread
Yes, it was good. Not my favorite, but enjoyable.

Re: The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread
Yes I liked it a lot too. Very good IMHO for a Christmas special, and also something rather important too.

Re: The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread
Finished it last night. Definitely one Seteven Moffat's better works. I still forgive season 4 of Sherlock though...
It was well-paced and morally ambiguous, so that's good. The regeneration sequence was top-notch.

Re: The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread
I was particularly wowed by the combination of Peter Capaldi's final speech, and acting, and the music that played during it. From Heaven Sent. Thank goodness the Season 9 soundtrack is finally due to be released soon!HelplessBystander wrote:The regeneration sequence was top-notch.
My octogenarian Dad from Huddersfield is also rather excited by where the new Doctor Who actor is from ...

Re: The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread
I know. The Special felt good, poignant, and Jodie had more lines in the final scene than Mark Hamil did in The Force Awakens.
Re: The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread
Yes, I'm looking forward to the next season with the Thirteenth Doctor. Seeing the recreation of the end of The Tenth Planet merged seamlessly with the surviving footage was a nice touch, with modern actors briefly playing Ben and Polly alongside David Bradley reprising his role as the First Doctor.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the thirteenth Doctor as well, pity it doesn't air until next year.

Is Nell Murrows the dead girl from the warehouse, if not, did we get her name? I thought we did.
