The Doctor has arrived!

The new Dr Who RPG from Cubicle 7

It arrived. And I've been preparing.

I'ved watched five episodes of Torchwood (the Children of Earth miniseries) as well as four episodes of Tom Baker's Doctor (Robot) and a few episodes of Tennant's Doctor (Silence in the Library, Stolen Earth). I've got plans to watch all of Eccleston's Doctor over the weekend. I'd avoided most of the Doctor Who new stuff - having been soured of the Doctor by successively Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann and to be honest I'd never really warmed to David Tennant's portrayal - it just seemed a little madcap, a little too camp.

So, it's looking like Delta Green may be on hold for a while due to the holidays and some folks personal situations so I'm kinda keen to see what the fuss is all about.

I may have also ordered a copy of the Dr Who Technical Manual from Noble Knight Games. I already own a copy somewhere in the depths of my parents house - which, interestingly enough, I won when I was a kid from a competition which ran in the Daily Mail. It's the sort of fanboi hardback that every kid in the world should have. It even included things I'd never heard of - Movellans, CyberMats and other things from earlier in the many series that make up the canon. With over seven hundred episodes out there - it's a lot for anyone to take in and I'd previously only really watched part of Tom Baker, most of Peter Davidson and part of Colin Baker's runs on the role. But you can also view the contents of it right here:

Places to go for extra fun?

How about the Official Cubicle 7 Dr Who: Adventures in Time and Space online forum? There's already heaps of adventure seeds, character and kit writeups and discussions of campaigns that could be run.

Or maybe the Vortex Oracle for quick generation of Dr Who adventure seeds?
