Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, this Sourcebook explores the Eighth Doctor’s adventures on Earth and beyond. With detailed information on all the allies, enemies, aliens and gadgets that he encounters, as well as examining each of his adventures, the book contains a wealth of material for the Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space RPG, and is also a fact-packed resource for fans of the show!
After being shot in a gang war in San Francisco, the Doctor regenerates just in time to stop the Master one more time. His eighth incarnation had much to contend with, not least the Time War, during which he had a fateful encounter with the Sisterhood of Karn once more.
As well as detailing the Eighth Doctor’s adventures, this sourcebook also contains a complete campaign – The Doom of the Daleks – that sees the Doctor’s deadliest foe erasing him from existence, forcing his companions into a race against time itself to save him!
I have managed to read all of the rules and play two quick games of Doctor Who Adventures in Time and Space. I haven’t rolled up a character yet, but I’m ready to write my review of the game. I picked up the rules at Origins and I’m glad I did.
The limited edition book is filled with great art. There are several to page pieces that often take your breath away. It is about 250 pages that is filled with background info and mechanics. I would say the the book is balanced for player and GM. For a stand a lone core book I would say Cubicle 7 did an excellent job compiling everything into a tight space. This book is not the Tardis – it’s not bigger on the inside.
While I haven’t made a character yet the process looks fairly simple. It’s point based with no random element. Characters have six attributes and 12 skills. Traits to help define the character that are both good and bad. Until I do more with it that’s all I can say.
The Rpg has done a very good job of following the spirit of the television show. It tells a story that often involves conflict but that doesn’t require the hack and slash of other RPG’s. That doesn’t mean that you won’t get into a fist fight; just that the game emphasizes brains over brawn.
Matt Delves int the DBG Dark Gothic an takes a look at the card from Flying Frog. Dark Gothic is based on the sett colonial American horror. The game allows for 2-6 players have some fun.
You can learn more at Flying Frog.
This is one of the cooler items I stumbled upon at Origins game Fair. Join me as I drool over the pages of the Limited edition Doctor Who rulebook from Cubicle 7. If you’re a Doctor Who fan this book is worth it just for the art. Cubicle 7 did an awesome job
You can learn more about this book at Cubicle 7.
This is my first ever Doctor Who book so if I screwed up something let me know!
I hope to have the game review in two weeks for you so like is on Facebook or follow us on twitter to learn when it’s live
