Not sure if this is the right place for this as it's mostly an RPG, but I was skimming through Peter Darvill-Evans's interview in Fantazine 13 and was reminded of him championing the system he co-created with Ian Marsh (though giving Marsh most of the credit). Has anyone tried it? Is it actually any good?

Has anyone tried it? Is it actually any good? There used to be a copy in the library at the High School I attended. I read through parts of it often enough, being a DW fan. But I never actually played it. The NZ national DW fanzine, TSV, ran several character sheet updates in its pages: ReviewAdditional character sheetsPlaying the Doctor

As a Whovian I bought this at one point, myself and my brother were always too busy with schoolwork to play it. The rules system and characters are faithful to the spirit of Doctor Who, however it is imho too simplistic, underwhelming and humourless. The packaged scenario is a poor one (slow-moving, unimaginative characterisation, below-average world-building, that sort of thing). I gather there has been an online update since the Pre-McGann rules, which includes later Doctors and Companions such as Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor. Subjectively, I think this specialises in faithfulness to the series where maybe the American-based FASA RPG, adapted from the combat-orientated Star Trek RPG, emphasises accessibility. My first feeling is something like GURPS might be great for a Who RPG, if there isn't one already (no idea). P.S. Birthday today 🎉
