[QUOTE="nasrat, post: 3593037, member: 29637"] I tend to agree with the issues so far discussed why it'd make a poor RPG for me - the unbalanced power level of the Dr (DM PC!), powerful artefact (sonic screwdriver), too much deus ex machina. It may be the Buffy mechanics work well for it, but I've not read them so can't comment. However you could certainly look at the Dr Who universe (including Torchwood) and have a more UNIT/Torchwood feel where the timelords are more in the background. There have been a few non-doctor/companion viewpoint episodes Love and Monsters, Blink. Having a whole who is the Dr. focus may work well for a Dark*Matter/Delta Green type game. To capture the essence of the recent series, you probably want lots of [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Unheimliche[/url] as a friend pointed out to me.
