Six PDFs in one ZIP file. 220+ pages total.
From the 10th Doctor era. What grabbed me first about this book was how well it looks with other Doctor Who books from other sources. This is due to the BBC mandated trade dress. While it means every era of Doctor Who will give us a different look (and core book) it also means that the books my kids were buying at school book fairs (wow, that was a long time ago!) will look great on the shelves next the RPG books.
This package includes:
138 page rulebook detailing many of the creatures faced in the Doctor's adventures, including the Cybermen, Cult of Skaro, Davros, the Weeping Angels and the Hath, additional rules for creating your own creatures both as enemies or as playable characters, and a system for creating new worlds for your adventures to take place on
32 page Adventure book, featuring a whole new ready-to-play adventure and many ideas for additional stories
New gadget cards
Additional Story Point Counters
Detailed Creature Cards for easy reference
All to work with your 10th Doctor boxed set. The same level of art, design and layout given to the core game is here, making it one of the more attractive games out these days. Perfect for the Doctor Who gamer and the Doctor Who fan alike. And an excellent source of new things to run away from!
This is a great product, full of all sorts of monsters, aliens, and other creatures primarily from the new version of Doctor Who (but some old favorites are still there). It was nice to have writeups for various Daleks, Cybermen, Catkind, Sontarans, and more. There are even more Traits and pre-built Trait packages given to aliens. Along with aliens come their worlds, we have more detail on these as well. So you don't have to stick to Earth!
The adventure book (32 pages) has two ready-to-go adventures using these new creatures; and plenty of ideas on how to use the others.
Some printing will be required for the cards and story point counters, but that is minimal.
Despite the "trade dress" this can be used with any version of the Doctor Who RPG from Cubicle 7.
