Quick guide to doctor who series 10

OK, this is my shot at providing all the essential info about Doctor Who for someone who's watching the episode tonight as their first ever Doctor Who experience.
The Doctor, the main character, is a time lord from Gallifrey. His species can "regenerate" 12 times, which means when they suffer a fatal injury, they instead get a new face. This is how they get new actors for the show. The current doctor is Peter Capaldi.
The Doctor (That's what he calls himself. His real name is unpronounceable) flies around in an old fashioned police box (It's bigger on the inside) that can travel through time. He pretty much just goes around saving people, but (sorry war movie fans) hardly ever kills people.
In tonight's episode, one of the main characters is Missy, or the Mistress. She's another time lord. She used to be the Master, but he regenerated into a girl. Missy/The Master was one of the Doctors arch enemy's. A while ago, The Doctor was going to execute her, but promised to save her if she turned good. She agreed, but he imprisoned her to be safe.
This episode, he's going to put her into a "test" situation with his 2 companions, Bill and Nardole, to see if she has turned good. This episode is going to involve Cybermen (humans who, bit by bit, became evil robots) and, somehow, one of the Master's older regenerations.
I've only seen the trailer, so I'm not sure how that's possible. Did they go back in time, or did the Master go forward. Hang on. I just had an idea. What if the Master is the one causing the problem (i.e. the villain), but the doctor doesn't know it. So Missy will be put up against her past self. Or will she betray the doctor and join forces with him. I can't wait to find out.
My review of the episode will be done by Monday afternoon (NSW time) at the latest.

Internet D&D Questions Issue 2

Alright, welcome back. This is my second time trawling the internet for questions to answer. And let me say, I enjoyed more then I thought I would. If I continue to enjoy it, that means I have a new hobby! 1. Tinker rogue weapon/tool ideas Wow, this one's really interesting. Let's see how many I can come up with 1) Alchemist's Fire: Not actually my own invention, but definitely belongs in the list. PHB pg148. 2) Smoke Stone: Little stone, fired from a slingshot. On contact, heavily obscures the area with smoke for several rounds. 3) Sticky Slime: Green slime in small glass jars. Throw at enemies and the glass will break, causing the acidic slime to stick to your target. 4) Endless String: Looks like a small ball of string. The more you unravel it, the more string appears.Able to hold much more weight then should be possible. 5) Skeleton Key: Magical key that opens all locks. Well, that wasn't as many as I'd thought :( . Oh well. 2. Planning a 5e Planesc

Why I Banned my Players from Playing Chaotic Neutral

Sorry I didn't post last week! These stories are about my recent 5e Planescape campaign. I should note that most of the campaign was good. I am documenting the crazy bits here. Two of the three players were chaotic neutral. They played it like chaotic evil half the time. The other player was chaotic good. He generally played it like chaotic neutral. The players were: Primal Rage: A white dragonborn fighter (CG) Pain: A Blue Dragonborn cleric (CN) Ella:  An Elf Wizard (CN) In the first session we played, they ended up face to face with the main villain of the session and a couple of his thugs. They let him kidnap their employer (a nice old halfling lady) because they didn't like the amount they were being payed. A few sessions later, a wizard attacked them when they tried to steal from him after he invited them into his tower and agreed to make them dinner. He was under an enchantment at the time, and couldn't help himself. They killed him. A while later

Fifth Age Session 2

I just played the second session of my mini sci-fi campaign (You can read about the first session here , and get the rules I'm using for it here . My review of those rules is here ). I'm really sorry it took so long, but lots of things were happening in my life that couldn't be avoided. I've set up with my players to do a weekly D&D game on Roll20 now, so I should be making posts like this one much more often. The plan is to do one more session of Fifth Age, then go through White Plume Mountain from Tales from the Yawning Portal . Now, onto the game! The players are: Cooper, a Synthetic (AI) Technician and Jeff, a genetically modified human operative (basically a rogue) The Players returned to the main planet in the system, to have a weeks downtime after escorting some miners and rescuing some people trapped on a space station under attack by a rogue Synthetic called The Purger.  After their downtime (Jeff won 60 credits on a slot machine!) we got i
