Doctor Who - Discussion Thread for The Game of Rassilon

Thanks, but there is not really much to him at the moment. Like a background, peersonality, description. I might have a crack at the seminary drop-out come soldier.

What can I say? I'm pleased that you chose the Serendipity knack....brought to you by Jo Grant. :D

Here's a useful example of how a character could be created for a game that, say, dealt with more conventional sf in the Doctor Who universe (such as a Peladon-era Federation Space Opera with Vegan Molemen, Alpha Centaurians, Amazons, Ice Warriors, and Arcturans):

Sorry for the long delay with no updates.

I have finished all of the "A" monsters, from Abaddon to Axos.

I will be turning this section into a pdf this week, so if you want a copy, please email me at ravencrowking at hotmail dot com. What follows is a list of creatures & page numbers. Please let me know if you can think of anything I missed:

Just because it is easier for me to do so, the "A"s pdf will probably include Baltazar from The Infinite Quest and the Bandrils from Timelash.

Related note: If anyone here has seen (or especially has the novelization of) The Sarah Jane Adventures: Revenge of the Slitheen, could you tell me what the "giant squirrels" of Raxacoricofallapatorius were called? I think they belong in the "B" section.

Anne Droid

Medium Construct (Android), Level 1
STR +4, END +4, DEX –6, AGL –8, PCN +3, KNO +12, PSI none, PRS none.
Skills: Gather Information +3, Intimidate +5, Knowledge (All) +20, Perform (Television Host) +6.
Knacks: None.
HP 12; Saves Fort +5, Ref –8, Will +2; Defence 3; AP 0.

Transmat Beam: The Anne Droid has a teleportation beam that television viewers, contestants, and the human controllers of the Games Station believed to be a disintegration beam. This beam attacks with a +4 bonus. On a successful hit, it automatically teleports its target to preset coordinates.

Limitations: The Anne Droid is stationary. It cannot move from its designated location on its own.

The Anne Droid is only capable of following its programming: To run the game, to “disintegrate” anyone who refuses to play or tries to leave the game, and to “disintegrate” to losers. It takes no other action.​

The Anne Droid was used in the Games Station’s version of “The Weakest Link”, and was programmed with the voice (and some mannerisms) of Anne Robinson, the host of the original British game show. It had gleaming silver “skin”, red “hair”, and “dressed” in black. Its beam weapon was located inside its “mouth”.

While the Games Station was being remotely controlled by the Daleks, the Anne Droid’s teleportation beam was directed to the Dalek Command Ship, where targets would provide material for the creation of new Daleks.

An Anne Droid transmatted Rose Tyler to the Dalek Command Ship in 200,200 AD after she lost “The Weakest Link”. The Daleks destroyed the Anne Droid during their attack on the Games Station. However, given that there were 60 versions of “Big Brother” over 10 floors, and given that Floor 407 of the Games Station was given over to “The Weakest Link”, it seems unlikely that there was only one Anne Droid.

Advancement: None. It is, however, possible to trade out the Anne Droid’s transmat beam for another energy weapon, with a DC 15 Science (Robotics) or a DC 20 Repair check.

Wow! This is a fantastic thread - I'm going to have a go at the character creation rules, maybe try to create a Sgt Benton (special skill - making excellent coffee) type character.

Is there any space in the game thread for another character?

I should think so. It's very lonely there at the moment. :)

Sure. Read the game thus far, make someone who fits, and then post that someone & jump right in!

BTW, I had to do a revision of the "A"s pdf because I forgot "Advertising Satellite" from The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. I am also thinking of adding Time Lord villian Anzor from The Missing Season: Mission to Magnus because the BBC has supposedly claimed that the Missing Season is cannonical.

If anyone in the UK has the novelization of The Sarah Jane Adventures: Revenge of the Slitheen, I'd be grateful for the name of the giant squirrels of Raxacoricetc. I think they started with "B" and should appear in the next pdf.
