+ | ===== Glossary ===== | ||
+ | **A Game** - a page, linked from the [[location/ | ||
+ | **A Round** - a new storyteller begins a story by creating a [[page]] for the story with a link in the [[game]] page.\\ | ||
+ | **A Turn** - a part of the story is written on the page by the current storyteller. | ||
+ | **Wagee** - a Player who has made a wager against the current storyteller.\\ | ||
+ | **Player** - a Reader not currently telling a story, but with a [[character]] in the [[location/ | ||
+ | **Reader** - someone browsing the site and not currently telling a story.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Differences from the regular game ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Characters ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Every player should choose a different regeneration of the Doctor than every other player. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Players may choose the same regeneration as another player, but it is not recommended. | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Wagers ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Wagers should be phrased in the form of first person memories if a later version is talking to an earlier version ("I remember I had some problems with the Cybermen then, didn't I?" | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Companions ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The Doctor rarely has no companions (maybe 1 in 100 episodes). | ||
+ | |||
+ | A Doctor should only use the companions he has listed for his regeneration. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Death ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Companions may die, but shouldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Nemeses and bad guys can die. This does not prevent other players from using them in stories. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Plot ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Time Travel ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Time travel can never be used within the story to solve a problem. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== McGuffins ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The TARDIS has infinite space inside it and is invulnerable to damage by any race without time technology. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Sonic Screwdriver can open almost anything. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Every evil race has some kind of vulnerability that can be opportunely taken advantage of by a clever Doctor. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bad guys - every story should have one. Either a race, a misguided genius or a regular nemesis. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Capture and Torture ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Should only happen at most a couple of times in the story. | ||
