Alien Archive: Over 60 Monsters for Doctor Who Games

Alien Archive is the latest release for Doctors & Daleks, the 5E-powered version of Cubicle 7's Adventures in Time & Space tabletop RPG. You can pre-order it now for Q3 2023, and get the PDF immediately.

​

Doctors and Daleks: Alien Archive offers a glimpse into the many strange alien species and civilisations that players will encounter during their journeys through time and space, or even as the aliens visit our own planet. Some may prove to be allies, others enemies — or both, depending upon when and where you meet them!


Alien Archive provides dozens of entries, detailing some of the Doctor’s most recognisable adversaries and aliens they have encountered. A literal A-to-Z, from Axos to Zygons, providing not only the full 5e compatible stats for use in your Doctors and Daleks game, but also a look at each species’ motivations and tactics, as well as how to incorporate them into your adventures, and how to thwart their plans should they wish us harm.

Doctors and Daleks: Alien Archive includes:

• Over 60 monsters and aliens fully compatible with Doctors and Daleks, and other 5e games.
• A TARDIS full of Gamemaster resources for all of the weird and wonderful aliens the Doctor has encountered, including:
• Background on the Species’ place in history.
• The common motives and agendas of the aliens to aid in creating and running your own adventures featuring them.
• Guidance on what it's like for a time traveller to might such bizarre creatures.
• A host of adventure hooks to inspire your adventures across space and time.

Back in the early 80s watching Doctor Who on PBS and playing D&D was an activity that often happened at the same time. Needless to say foes from the show made there apperance in our games.

I am really tempted to get this to see whether I can use these critters in an Everyday Heroes campaign. The Dalek Invasion of Skull Island sounds like wonderful fun. <sinister maniacal laughter>

Daleks: EXTERMINATE!

King Kong does not take kindly to genocidal trash cans causing crap on his Island.

Cyber-Kong would be amazing as well.

All I want is Weeping Angels. I want to put the fear of God back in my PCs...

I believe they're in the core Doctors & Daleks book, aren't they?

Are they? I thought it was PC rules only...

It looks like at least some monsters are in the core book.

From https://www.enworld.org/threads/a-review-of-doctors-and-daleks.691404/:

The book is framed as a player’s guide but it does include a GM section with some iconic baddies to face. A second volume full of more called the Alien Archive is due out soon. Antagonists are another place where the designers make some interesting choices. Rather than worrying about CR and game balance, encounters are designed from a pool of Plot Points that can be assigned to opposition based on the needs of the plot. Is their petty bureaucrat a bigger threat than the Cybermen stalking the streets of Cardiff? Give them the most Plot Points and the cyberman a few for the occasional quick ambush.
