Opportunity to pick up PDF copies of the Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space and Doctor Who: Aliens and Creatures for about 30% off the normal price in the Movie sale at DriveThruRPG. Well worth picking up if you haven’t got yourself a copy already!
Predictability, or the lack of it, can make it very hard to design an adventure. I use loose plotting as it is, and I’m thankful I don’t spend a tremendous amount of time preparing. For the adventure I’ve run over the last three week, I had a view of key people, locations and event, but…

I have been running a Doctor Who adventure for the last fortnight. I expect it will reach a conclusion this Wednesday.

What are the chances of walking into Tesco and finding a Scarecrow, Ood, Cyberman, Silurian and a Clockwork Robot? Most days it’s probably quite unlikely.
