SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Dr. Who has always been more of a miss than a hit, but it had its charming moments. The issue with the newer run is that it's prioritized political messaging over telling a decent story (even the Rose-Doctor storyline left me cold even though it at least developed the relationship well enough to be believable).

I tuned out after Tennant left and don't have any regrets. Maybe someday someone will retcon the travesty they've foisted on this series, or just do a spin off without the utter shite baggage.

They can retcon it all with a time travel story!

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

I used to like this show. It went down steadily with 12 even while that incarnation was great acting wise. 13 was where we got served massive garbage quality wise and it looks worse onwards. Doctor who is dead to me i guess, and i feel only apathy towards it these days.
