Things you may of missed on the run up to this week.

Series 9 writer news http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2060060

Moffat for two episodes two of which are two-parters

Toby Whitehouse for two-parter episodes

Gatiss for at least one episode

Catherine Tregenna for at least one episode

That leaves a few spots for newcomers or stalwarts such as Chris Chibnall.

The Gatiss episode according to cultbox is apparently a scary episode. Having written the most excellent crimson horror it will be good to see what he can do for an artist such as Peter Capaldi http://www.cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/mark-gatiss-writing-scary-episode-for-doctor-who-season-9

As for the two parter from Toby well Steven Moffat: had this to say “An amazing guest cast for a brilliantly creepy two-parter … one of our scariest adventures yet!

So it looks like they are ramping up the fear factor for this autumn’s adventure.

Thinking of WHO to marry and where? Well If you want to get married in the presence of the Tardis and Daleks then the Doctor Who Experience in Discovery Quay is probably for you according to Wales Online http://www.walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/fun-stuff/44-coolest-places-married-one-8869643

Seems this excellent interactive experience has a marriage licence, so if you want your special day to be out of this world then set your time coordinates for Cardiff Bay. Of course you don’t have to be getting married to hire the venue if you fancy something

Douglas Adams’s Doctor Who script ‘City of Death’ is being adapted into a novel by author James Goss. It’s a book Douglas Adams was supposed to write.  The serial aired on TV in 1979, and featured Tom Baker as the Time Lord and Lalla Ward as his companion Romana. ‘City of Death’ saw the Doctor and Romana in Paris before encountering Count Scarlioni – who is trying to finance experiments in time travel so that he can go back in time and save his alien ship.

City of Death will be published by BBC Books on May 21

In this inaugural episode of Adventure Party, we introduce Glenn Buettner. He will be the ‘second-in-command’ of the Party. His insight into games, gaming and what it takes to self publish games is invaluable.

Our news topics include, Roll20 makes major upgrades, Catan celebrates 20 years and a new 5th edition, Universal Adventures releases a new multi-game system module and KenzerCo releases a new campaign setting fit for a Viking.

Our Kickstarter Spotlight features the Thunderbirds board game which has been developed by the folks that brought us Pandemic.

Glenn is also our first guest. We take a bit of time to talk about the journey he took to get his RPG, Mistrunner, developed and printed.

Finally, we talk about Hello, My Name Is… which is a way to let us know about your character and why that character is fun to play. Let us know about your character and we’ll spotlight it on our next Party Meeting. You’ll also get a certificate emailed to you that is suitable for framing.
