Revamping Story Imports – Get Involved!

Hi! Great job with the spreadsheets! It is so good that a lot of us are working on them!

Agreed. If stuff like these get added, I think they should be siphoned off into promotion/trailers/etc. (if that ever happens).

Will the live experience bits from the old Doctor Who Experience ever be added? I never went, but I believe there were experience clips filmed by Smith and Capaldi (and I’m sure I recall a Romana voiceover too).

This is how #CasualtyGuide can happen, there is after all the infamously shelved-but-filmed scene from 12’s era!

This is mostly for @JayPea who added these sections to the spreadsheet, but anyone else can answer too.

There is a section where “Media Type” is “Role-Playing Game” - is that a new media type we should add to the site?

Or is it covered by “Game Books” (which include only choose-your-own adventure games)

Thanks!

I think there’s a big enough difference between Game Books and Role-Playing Games, that RPGs should be their own secion

Game Books is a single person ‘playing’ through a completely prewritten adventure where they have a set list of options they can pick between. It’s a story you have choices in, but it’s not really your story.

RPGs on the other hand give you the framework of the story, all the plot beats and roughly how it’ll play out and start/end, but you’re the one making all the decisions, you can do whatever you want, and you’re playing a separate character that you’ve actually had a hand in creating

Thanks! I’ll get those added :blush:

I don’t like how long Role-playing game is though, ok if I call them RPG Books?

I’ve added The Incomplete Death’s Head: (plus some other Death’s Head comics)

I’m not sure what this is, but it is a crossover that exists.

They’re also not all full books, I’d go for ‘TTRPG Adventures’

May I suggest RPG Stories? Feels shorter and more to the point?

Considering this Site has a few ‘out of the blue’ Entries already, I thought I might as well ask, but are there any Plans to add a Film such as “Looney Tunes: Back in Action” to the Site?
It does feature Daleks and Permission to use them was sought (even if that ended up in a bit of a debacle)

Just asking since that crossed my Mind recently.

Will we also have to add The Lego Batman Movie?

I don’t think we intend to add those since they aren’t in-universe stories, and those are more like references and nods rather than meaningful inclusions. The TARDIS appears in the background of one of the new Star Trek movies (or was it Star Wars VII?—one of the JJ Abrams films anyway), but we’re not adding them!

Oh, yeah, that’s a good Point to make! Just thought I’d throw it out there since it does seem to be more officially licensed than just some other little nods or references in other Things!

Is this where I mention the recently released non-fiction book about Doctor Who called Exterminate/Regenerate?

We are planning on adding non-fiction books, but they require a whole new section, and we want to have all the fiction, in-universe stuff added first.

Oh thank you for telling me! Maybe when you add the non fiction I’ll actually find one of the books I’m looking for

I have both Back in Action and The Lego Batman Movie on DVD in my Doctor Who collection so they absolutely count and should be on the site.

(Lego Dimensions is…)

It’s good for us that you’re not running the site! What a cluttered mess it’d be! :wink:
