(Last copy in Mind Games, apparently.)The basic system is a winner. 2d6+stat+skill >= DC. You have Story Points that you can use to change the level of success as well as doing other cool things with. Character creation allows a wide variety of options and is relatively simple. 24 Character Points you spend on the 6 attributes plus traits, then 12 skill points  to spread around the 12 skills.The dice are very nice indeed.A sheet inside advertises a GM Screen and an Aliens and Monsters book.86 page Player's Guide140 page GM's Guide32 page Adventure book (2 short adventures and 24 adventure ideas - very, very cool!)6 dice1 sheet of 174 cardboard "Story Point" tokens1 Read-this-first leaflet (ironically, packed last in my box).3 sheets of punchout "gadget" cards - Psychic Paper, 51st Century Squareness Gun, Electronic Lockpick, Sonic Screwdriver, Engineer's Mate, Engram Eraser, Vortex Manipulator, Superphone, Sonic Lipstick, Wrist Scanner and 8 blank cards.8 pregenerated character sheets: The Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, K9, Captain Jack Harkness (yay!), Rose, Mickey, Martha (yay!) and Donna.6 pregenerated character (template) sheets: Medical Doctor, Musician, Student, Unit Soldier, Torchwood Operative, Scientist/Inventor6 blank character sheets.This is some package. Alas, it's not larger on the inside, although you'll probably have problems getting everything back in the box.The game makes a big deal about combat not being the main point of the game. In a round, you first resolve everyone who wants to Talk, then Move, then Act, and finally Fight. Then the next round begins.I'm really, really looking forward to running this. When I do so, I'll post some session reports of how it goes.Cheers</blockquote>
