Check Out The Cover of the Upcoming Doctor Who: Second Edition RPG!

The 2nd Edition of Cubicle 7's Doctor Who roleplaying game is upcoming, and they've shared the cover art by Will Brooks.

Cubicle 7 renewed their Doctor Who license with the BBC back in April. They've been publishing the game since 2008. The 2nd Edition core rulebook is fully compatible with the first edition, but Cubicle 7 says it's faster, easier, and quicker to learn. Here's a quick look at what to expect:

• Complete character creation rules to allow you to bring to life a new time travelling adventurer to explore space and time aboard the TARDIS. They could be companions to the Doctor, or a new Time Lord of your own creation, Time Agents, or investigators and defenders of planet Earth.
• The complete revised rules for playing Doctor Who: The Roleplaying Game. The new and updated version of the popular Vortex system is completely compatible with the First Edition of the game. Second Edition makes gameplay faster, easier, and quicker to learn, while keeping all of the dramatic action you’d expect from an episode of Doctor Who.
• Advice for Gamemasters, new and old, on how to make the experience of Doctor Who: The Roleplaying Game feel like you’re living an episode of the TV series, as well as how to create exciting storylines and continuing campaigns.
• Revised rules for creating your group’s own TARDIS, or other time travel device to allow them to adventure from the dawn of history to the very ends of the Universe.
• An expansive look at the history of the Universe, detailing many of the aliens and creatures the Doctor has encountered across space and time.
• Pregenerated character sheets for the Doctor and her companions, ready to play straight away!

Less of a second edition then and more an updated core rulebook with different optional rules?
They did a new core book for the last three Doctors
Guess they decided Thirteen needed more incentive to get people to buy that book

They did new corebooks for Smith and Capaldi as well.

But those were all the same edition

I mean, the reveal at the end of last season seems like it'd unleash hordes of player character Time Lords and Ladies on the game.

Lots and lots of running down corridors. No, even more running.

OK, you're done. Now, here's a quarry.

(And yes, I Doctor Who.)

The first word of the book should be, “Run!”

We watched a ton of doctor who back in the 80s and it influenced our D&D. One of my brothers friends would always find a way to have a TARDIS show up in his adventures one of his PC even had a robot dog like K9. We were more gonzo back then as kids.

I have the first edition but never got a chance to play it. I guess this'll be one of those times where I update before getting a chance to play what's already on my shelf. Streamlined character creation and better TARDIS rules make it very appealing.
