The Doctor Who Roleplaying game is British publisher Cubicle 7’s biggest selling roleplaying game, and this week it’s getting a relaunch with opening of pre-orders for the latest edition, as well as the PDF version going on sale.
Rumour has it that with several as-yet unannounced Doctor Who game releases joining the forthcoming “Dalek Dice”, the best selling “The Doctor Who Card Game” in the coming months, Cubicle 7 have changed the name of the RPG, formerly “Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space”, to The Doctor Who Roleplaying Game to make it clear exactly what each of their games comprises.

5 Reasons you Should be Playing the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game Right Now!
The latest edition of the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook is available to pre-order right now so we thought we’d share 5 reasons why you should be playing Doctor Who!
The Doctor Who Roleplaying Game is a hardback rulebook containing all the rules, monsters, background and characters you need to start having your own adventures through time and space right away!
1. A different setting every week
What other game allows you to be exploring the last planet in the universe one week, swashbuckling with Robin Hood the next and investigating mysterious goings on in modern-day London the week after? In the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game, you and your friends play time-travelling adventurers, which means that every adventure can be completely different – and yet the overarching mythology of the show ensures a consistent feel from week to week.
2. Iconic Baddies
The Doctor has faced some truly memorable foes over the course of his long life. And, when you play the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game, you’ll get to test your mettle against these iconic foes too! Can your character escape being exterminated by a Dalek, upgraded by a Cyberman or avoid blinking in the face of a Weeping Angel? The new rulebook includes some of the Twelfth Doctor’s more recent foes too, including the Boneless and the Teller – but with over 50 years worth of episodes to draw from, the Gamemaster is never going to run out of great monsters to throw at you!
3. Play as the Doctor! Or Another Time Lord
The Doctor is one of the great heroes of our time – brave, clever and funny, solving problems with his wits and getting both into and out of trouble with his big mouth. In the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game, you can play as the Doctor himself – any one of his thirteen incarnations, in fact!
Or, perhaps you want to create your own Time Lord – well, the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game has a complete set of rules for making your own Time Lord too (and if you pick up The Time Traveller’s Companion, you’ll find even more options – including rules for designing your own TARDIS too).
4. A Ready-Made Cast of Characters
Sure, the Doctor might be great at pretty much everything (at least, that’s what he’d tell you), but he’d be in some pretty serious trouble without his friends. And he’s had some great friends down the years, from teacher Clara Oswald and the Victorian-era Paternoster Gang, to such classic favourites as brave journalist Sarah Jane and the Doctor’s own granddaughter Susan. In the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game, you can play as any of the Doctor’s past or present companions, and the latest edition includes ready-made character sheets for a whole swathe of the Twelfth Doctor’s companions.
Or you might decide to make your own companion instead, in which case the rulebook’s got you covered with a completely customisable set of rules for making a character from scratch – even an alien like Madame Vastra or Strax!
But wait, if you can play as the Doctor, why would you want to play anyone else? Well, the Doctor’s a formidable force for sure, but not everybody wants to play the loud, obnoxious centre of attention – and the Doctor’s friends are just as important to the story as he is, and in the game come loaded with a whole heap of Story Points and other helpful traits to make sure they get to play a central role too.
5. Over 50 Years Worth of Adventures
Doctor Who was first broadcast on TV as long ago as 1963, which not only makes it the longest-running sci-fi show, but also means there’s over 50 years worth of adventures for you to draw on for the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game! You might decide to take inspiration from the Twelfth Doctor’s adventures inside a Dalek in the latest series, or hop back in time to his very first encounter with the Cybermen. Whether you’re replaying favourite episodes, pondering the question of What If? or coming up with your own unique creations, you’ll never be stuck for ideas!
There are two brand-new adventures in the new rulebook, as well as favourite baddies and plenty of ideas for your own scenarios. And if that’s not enough, each of our Doctor Sourcebooks focuses on a different one of the Doctor’s incarnations, comprehensively looking at each of his adventures as well as detailing monsters, NPCs and gadgets that he encountered along the way. You’ll never be stuck
