Time Lord (role playing book)

Time Lord, published by Virgin Books, was an attempt to create a role-playing game based upon the Doctor Who series. This was several years after FASA's Doctor Who RPG was discontinued. The book contains extensive rules on gameplay and character skills. It is notable for including detailed character sketches and information on every Doctor Who Companion and recurring character up to the original series' conclusion in 1989.

Included is The Templar Throne, a "ready-made" adventure module set inside a British shopping mall, a sequel to the Third Doctor serial, The Dæmons. Also included are the initial chapters of The Necromancers, an intentionally incomplete story featuring the Seventh Doctor and Ace, intended to spur the creation of game scenarios to finish the tale.


In 1997, co-author Ian Marsh published the gamebook in electronic form as freeware.
