On today’s blog, we thought we’d take a look at the past ten years of Doctor Who, through the lens of our own games and supplements! Cubicle 7 started their own trip of a lifetime back in 2009, with the release of the Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space roleplaying game by David F Chapman, garnering both critical acclaim and a swathe of awards and nominations. The roleplaying game encouraged adventures in the style of the show, with talking and invention held more hgihly than guns and violence. This first edition, featuring the Tenth Doctor, was a boxed set, featuring an assortment of books, cards and dice, something Cubicle 7 continued with the second edition, featuring the Eleventh Doctor. The Eleventh Doctor featured prominently in Cubicle 7’s first card game too, Doctor Who: The Card Game. Designed by Martin Wallace, the card game garnered C7 their first Origins Award and remains our best-selling game. Cubicle 7 released a second edition of Doctor Who: The Card Game at the end of last year, but this time rather than just featuring the Eleventh Doctor and his adventures, it celebrated the past decade of Doctor Who with the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors, and some of their iconic foes, locations and companions too – including Rose and the Powell Estate. While it might be ten years since Doctor Who returned to our TV screens, it’s been around for far longer than that. Tied into the show’s 50th anniversary in 2012, Cubicle 7 decided to celebrate by releasing a series of sourcebooks, each focusing on a different incarnation of the Doctor, his companions and his adventures.
