Ok it's not what I was supposed to be doing today BUT I just wanted to get this thing up and running so that I could go back to it. My blog for reviewing Doctor Who (and possibly other content) is now up. I transferred my first review from the Big Finish website. I've changed my review style now so that it has sections. But yeah Qunnis is up. Now back to RPG content tomorrow. No obligation for you guys to look but just thought I'd post because I'm happy with it. blogger-who.livejournal.com/

Siskoid: since you are doing the write up for Carnacki, You are aware of the "Rivals of Sherlock Holmes" episode that featured Carnacki portrayed by Donald Plesence? Might be worth considering for the chracter image.

The latest in Big Finish's Lost Stories series has been released this week and is The Queen of Time, a 2nd Doctor story. Is there time to include something from this, or would you prefer to leave it until the next edition?
I'm only part-way through listening to it at the moment, but I'd suggest an entry for Hecuba, the titular Queen of Time.

Well, it gone in before we took off, so might as well :-)
I should have another update up very soon.

Lords of the Red Planet, the final 2nd Doctor Lost Story from Big Finish, has just been released. So I'll probably give it a listen this week to see what we can use from it.
EDIT: I'm on episode 5 now and am preparing two submissions: the first for the sisters Zaadur and Veltreena, and the second for the location of Gandor.

December's 2nd Doctor Companion Chronicle, The Dying Light, has been released by Big Finish. I've listened to it and would suggest the location of Sanctuary for the sourcebook. I assume we'll wait until the Tom Baker volume to cover Quadrigger Stoyn (as he has a final appearance in next month's 4th Doctor Companion Chronicle)?
I'm happy to do a write-up for Sanctuary if there's time to get it in the sourcebook before it's published, but I probably won't be able to do this until the New Year. So let me know if anybody else wants to cover this. Or would it be better to leave it until a second edition?

If it came out in 2013, I think it's ripe for inclusion. I'd like to have the book finished before the end of January, so nothing released in 2014 will make it in. Let's make that the cut-off.

I feel as if I'm not pulling my weight here and audios are far easier to cover than books. The actual entry writing time hasn't been the holdup on my end. If you've already written it though then nevermind. ALso I notice on the first page that Jigsaw War and Helicon Prime don't show any names next to them. Are those taken or open? I've got almost two weeks of vacation starting now so I'm up to finish off my content.

New update finally up on the Google Drive, with frequent updates through the month. Like Dastari, I've got some text and write-ups to finish (did NOT have the slack holiday season I thought I'd have, not that I'm necessarily complaining), and am actively looking for pics to fill the blank spaces.
Dastari, if you really want Jigsaw and Helicon, they're yours. If you don't, they're mine.

After discussing it with dastari, I'm taking Helicon Prime and Jigsaw after all. Hoping for a mid-February release, but we're very close. It's been one hell of a winter, sorry about the delays!

May I inquire as to how well this part of the project is going?

We're getting there. The document was updated today and will keep being updated every few days until it's ready. There are many reasons for the delay, including two back injuries among us (we're fine thanks) and insane work schedules, but we're very close. I've got a few texts in the pipeline, about to go live, and then will do the table of contents, pagination, credits and so on while I wait for the few entries I'm still waiting for.
We might even start work on the third book while the 2nd is getting its tweaks.

I'm glad you're ok, but don't strain yourself! 2 back injuries is more than enough. I understand R/L comes first and if that means waiting, well it's not like the world is going to end tonight. Please take care...

I'm confident it'll be out before the end of February. The most recent update (as of seconds ago) has the pagination, browsable index and several new pics. The missing entries are there too, as white space, so you can get a feel for what the book will be like.

Ok, back on track. Expect updates all through this week until the book is done. Newest version includes Mecrim, Vichy France, Sanctuary and Zoe's Crystal.

Another update. I've added Civil War England, Carnacki the Ghost Finder, Spirit Gate, and an adventure seed for the Mecrim.
More to come. Almost done.

Excellent work. My only issue is the typo on V16, The Mecrim. It says "Bulter Institute" instead of "Butler Institute".

Updated with Menagerie and VETAC Robots, though I'm still struggling to find a pic I think fits the description on Robots.

Updated with Menagerie and VETAC Robots, though I'm still struggling to find a pic I think fits the description on Robots. Images of robotic knights are fairly plentiful, but I guess it's the description of the torso and arms that's difficult to find a match for. Have you considered just a head-shot, rather than anything wider? Possibly not quite what you're after.

The window usually only affords a head shot, but after looking through hundreds of pictures, my head just started swimming.

Too recognizable as coming from another popular sf franchise, I'm afraid.

Do you need help finding an image? If you provide me with the description, I'd be happy to search for an image and get permission if I can.
