Where do I get a d20 that lights up like that when a natural 20 is rolled?
Four demons, forty demons, four thousand demons; ain't gonna help 'em...
And the sad thing is, this moniker has a very high chance of being the man's actual name...
I noticed a lot of commentors suggesting that "James Bond" is a possible code name for an agent, the same way the "007" designation is assumed to be.
Much as I'm happy to see this stuff available in some form in one place, I have a small gripe: A lot of the shorts here that were under the LIQUID TELEVISION banner have their credits removed, which means the creators of these pieces of content aren't getting their due.
The whole scene with the transmitter atop the pyramid seemed like a major echo of Moffat's first ever DOCTOR WHO script, "The Curse of the Fatal Death." Even back in 1999, Moffat seems to have had the idea that the unverse could not do without the Doctor, a character described as "Too, nice, too brave, too kind, and…

If you wanted a subversive version of the Department of Silly Walks, may I suggest the Department of Administrative Affairs found on YES, MINISTER...
I actually used this the day of the quake; I went to USGS to try and confirm if what I felt was an actual earthquake as opposed to, say, a construction accident next door, and found the form right there.
Believe it or not, there were more historians who have revisited alternate versions of the Great War than SF writers. Niall Ferguson's VIRTUAL HISTORY goes into some alternative scenarios, and both WHAT IF? collections have four essays on alternate WWI.
My choices would include the following:
In answer to the later question first, the First World War is not exactly one of the easier periods to get a handle on from a writer’s perspective.
