Trucker Parking Simulator

Really.  This exists.

As someone who drove semi-trucks for a living for a time, that actually makes 100% sense.
Poor turns, particularly while backing up, are a consistent source of damage to the truck, obstacles encountered, and freight.
While there's no real substitute for feeling the vehicle and the terrain through actually being in the cab, virtually leaning vehicle control is a great idea.

I would pay good money for a well done simulator that let me fly around the local streets and highways without having to worry about damage when I bugger it up and crash because I was doing something stupid like flying up the BQE* at 140mph.

*Interstate 278 through Brooklyn and Queens is called the BQE.  One must look diligently to find a worse highway.

I read about an Army test on some Spec Ops guys (an entire team of Special NPCs):  They let them get their Army minimum four hours of sleep per night, and ran tests and such during the day.  After three days they lost about 10% of their muscle memory, but almost 70% of cognitive capacity.  When they got dropped in a simulator, they couldn't tell the innocent villagers from the bad guys shooting at them, so they waxed the whole village.

Ah, thanks for the replies and clarification.
I'll add a note to the page for myself.

The one in the repair bay on Gallifrey.

Some people think this means that Clara was a Gallifreyan or even possibly a Time Lord.

But consider this -- we know from Hide that the TARDIS has the ability to project an interface of her intelligence outside her physical form...

Remember that in The Doctor's Wife the TARDIS said she stole the Doctor...

So, what if that's what we're seeing here? The moment she stole her Time Lord.

What if this echo of Clara was reborn as the Doctor's TARDIS?

There could be something to that. There's a rule or law that two TARDIS (what's the plural for "TARDIS"?) cannot occupy the same space or something rather disasterous happens. It happened in one episode... During the Tom Baker years.

(so folk, plant, construct, or fey)

You forgot Beast.

Wow. That makes sense

"and he hardly y ever hears me. But i've always been there. right from the very beggining. Right from the day he started running"

The season has been strange... and the last few episodes were full of great amazing moments in stories that always seemed lacking somehow... but the end has been epic.

I think this is working well how it is. The mistborn and keepers are very powerful already anyway =) Regardless it makes it interesting for the players, having to choose when to spend a long breather improving. Because thus far I have found that while some characters often have little enough other useage for breathers, my mistborn are almost always desperately trying to remove burdens (they should be learning something about avoiding combat on occasion by now one would think) and the keepers are always refilling metalminds. So for both of them, taking a breather to improve instead is something that requires thought on priorities at that moment.
