Happy Holidays

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

the fourth doctor

i love him and i've seen all of his serials but i feel like i'm undereducated because i haven't heard the radio stuff and his doctor is the only one i've seen all the episodes for so if i get even one thing wrong i'm fucked

omfg anon, go for it

I've played old who characters without reading/listening to any of the supplementary stuff and no one has ever given me any shit for it
in my exp classic who/extended universe who players know how ridiculous the canon is, and if you get into the point in a thread where they're asking for knowledge you don't have, you can just drop them a line in PM and tell them your deal and they'll probably walk you through things and tone down name/situation dropping in the future (at least this was my experience the one time i had to do it with the seventh doctor for a sixth doctor audios-only companion)

trust me even the doctor who writers got things wrong all the time, so if you say something off i doubt you'll even be called on it because it's essentially canon to be wrong about canon

god i just want there to be a fourth doctor running around, he was the literal best
please make my dreams come tru anon

Go for it, anon! I don't think anyone expects people to know every possible thing, not with a canon as sprawling and diverse as Doctor Who. From what I've seen, people are happy to fill each other in, or claim alternate universes.

It might be a good idea to acquaint yourself with the earlier Doctors, though.

dude, I'm Harryanon down there and go for it. nobody expects you to know EVERYTHING EVER cause Doctor Who is long and confusing and has waaay too much extra material and we could always use more Classic Who in dreamwidth.
