The Ambassador's of Death is really a good example of why you shouldn't make a story that long – for example, there's a whole plotline where, after Liz is captured, she attempts an escape, only to be caught and re-captured just before she can get back to the Doctor.

And the story spends at least 5 minutes on these scenes, which do not progress the story at all – the situation at the end of the scenes is exactly the same as what it was at the start.

Doctor Who | Season 7

a 4 episode story is 1.5 hours total, which is a reasonable amount.

A 6 episode story is 2 hours and 24 minutes, so it's already longer than a feature film.

A 7 episode story is nearly 3 hours long.

Doctor Who | Season 7

Also: I don't understand why the stories are 7 episodes instead of 6.

A 6 episode format would aleviate at least some of the pacing problems

Doctor Who | Season 7

I'm 3 stories in to season 7, and while I really like Petwee's Doctor, and the Brigadier, and liz shaw, and the concepts behind the stories...

they're really way too long and slow paced.

Spearhead from Space was great, but both The Silurians and The Ambassadors of Death are 7 episode stories that really should only be 4 episodes.

It took until Season 12 for them to realise that 4 episode stories worked much better

php is great because it's a statically-typed language with types less expressive than pre-generics java and that lets invalid code run because it doesn't actually do static type checking at all

Deadlands Classic character sheet

So the official Deadlands Classic character sheet is a complete mess.

So I'm redesigning it. Here's my work in progress!

First 2 images are the official character sheet, the second 2 are mine.

financial problems, req for help

quickly approaching 2 months no income (aside from donations which have helped me stay afloat so far)

I'm quickly approaching the point where I'll need to fundraise for being able to continue driving (necessary for finding jobs among other things) for another month if I cannot find a job by sometime next month.

So... i actually don't know what else to say, but please help if you can.

I'm also considering a paypal pool instead of this...
