So I had heard a rumor that there was a new Dr. Who RPG coming out so I did some searching. Turns out there releasing a starter box set, game screen and 1 supplement book. Release date is November 09'

I have played a lot of RPG's over the years, but a dr who rpg seemed kind of pointless. Don't get me wrong, I love dr who, but how would you get a game going? Everyone would want to be the doctor or a time lord, not one of his companions.

Unfortunately there isn't any information on how this system works. I own the Dr. who rpg made by FASA in 85' which is pretty cool reference wise, but I never actually played it.

Have any of you played the old system? What do you guys think of them making a new one? would you buy it?

Not for me. I feel that licensed settings often are heavy on detail and great reference, but ultimately don't wholly translate the medium (ususally TV or books) of the setting they are emulating.

Just thought I would do an update on this one for you all. I picked this up 20% off at my LCS a week or so ago and I have to say its pretty good, the set comes with : players guide, game master guide, dice (d6x5), counters, and an adventure.

Its setup so you can use pre-generated characters of the doctor, martha, Sara Jane, Rose, Dona, or Capt. Jack. Or you can make your own character: Alien, time lord, robot, time cop.

Now I haven't had time to work on any of this yet but I plan on making a few characters this weekend. The creation process looks pretty simple, but there's a lot of reading involved.

Ok, thats it for now. I'll post updates on this if anyone wants to know about it.
