So many of you out there deserve this. My apologies to the rest.

What happens if the Doctor picks up a party of first-edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons player characters? It's guaranteed that at least one will have a Bag of Holding, and there might be a Portable Hole in the party, as well.

By the Narrative Causality Conventions of AD&D1*, bringing either of those into the TARDIS will result in some kind of

I think what would happen is the PCs would kill him and take his stuff. A "Timelord"? Hey, our thief would really like that sonic screwdriver.

[athelind]

Sure, but kind of by definition, that would only happen AFTER the Negative Space Wedgie had failed to automatically kill everyone.

The Doctor would be, briefly, quite confused. "Why are you ki . . ." Of course he wouldn't finish it because he'd have a battleaxe in his skull by this point. That would cheer me. ;)

But I actually do these kinds of crossovers all the time. In a fairly recent Planescape game I ran, the plot was, this is no joke, they had to go get Godzilla to defeat this super-monster that was going to destroy Mt. Celestia. But to do that, they had to deal with Gorilla City where Grodd tried them as being "sub-sentient" and therefore not meriting civic rights . . . meaning that they could be disposed of as vermin. But they managed to prove they were nominally sentient and thus continue on with their quest.

Another Unambiguous Victory: In which we are awarded recognition as gorilla retards, and fail a test of moral fiber.

Or it could just be that a hole would tear open in the bottom of the bag and all the stuff in it would fall out.

And now you understand why crossovers are such fun to work out.

And here I thought I couldn't get any geekier than my OP.

Feh, first-edition Bags of Holding were puny. You couldn't even stuff a large steamer trunk in most of them, much less a wagon.

The use of the Sonic Screwdriver to solve any given problem is 10% per Regeneration Level, unless Regeneration Level = 1, 6 or 7.

Yes, that means that Matt Smith will use the damned thing 110% of the time, pulling it out even when there aren't any problems to solve.

Oh, and River Song will turn out to be The Master.
