...I'm not sure of that. Carroll's novels were weird, certainly, but I don't think he set out to write them as 'tainted' places. And yes, taking that into account, a /tainted/ Wonderland would be even darker than the original. Hm. Would Looking-Glass Land (Alice Through the Looking-Glass) be the sam...

From what little I've read, the disease that ravaged Mircea and his kingdom doesn't exist in Sanguinia today. However, Mircea thinks that he's still suffering from the disease and seeks some alchemical cure for it. Not sure about this. He's seeking an alchemical cure for his version of vampirism, y...

Okay. Time Lords have twelve regenerations, which means thirteen lives (first set down in the Tom Baker story 'The Deadly Assassin'). However, that story promptly makes clear that this limit can be bypassed. (What the show has actually /said/ regarding Time Lord longevity is... rather contradictory....

Does anyone know anything about, from the old series, a guy who was turned into a cactus man? If it's the story I think you're thinking of, that would be the Tom Baker story 'Meglos'. Meglos is a creature who can possess other beings, and can reshape his host's form to duplicate that of someone sim...

Yes, the Spring 2005 Insider lists it--but the one I just got a hold of is the Summer 2005 one, and there's no trace of it on the shipping schedule, the order form, or the backlist. It is, however, in this month's Previews (listed as coming in August). I don't know entirely what's going on, but I'd...

But what ever happened, he's now commited one of the Universe's greatest acts of genocide...... so much for being somewhat of a pacifist like he used to be in the olden days.... Darklordship calling anyone? Well, given the Seventh Doctor set the Daleks up to destroy their own homeworld, and that th...

Yep, the Daleks are back next week (so much for them saying that they were to appear in the final episode of this season).
They may well be doing both - next ep is a solo Dalek, while the final ep...

and the only upcoming product listed on the end page is the Legacies book in December. Is there NOTHING planned in the Ravenloft line for 2005? The endpage says 'coming /this/ year for Ravenloft' (which is a change from previously) - which means only Legacy of the Blood. We'll have to wait for Lega...
