I think I am officially broke for the remainder of this year.

Over on the Cubicle 7 website, they've got a subscription offer going for the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who involving the 11 sourcebooks on the 11 Doctors that will be coming out. There are two subscriptions available, the Early Years and the Full Set. I decided to go for the

Dr Who sourcebooks

From what I could see of the indexes it just seems to be a book telling you what was in each of the Dr Who stories for that Doctor, which you can get free on the internet. I guess what I'm asking is what makes these a must buy for you?

Well, to be honest, part of it is just me being a compleatist. :) Especially given that neither my Friday night nor Sunday afternoon gaming groups want to play DW: AiTaS.

However, if you look at the contents of each chapter and how many pages each serial's write-up takes, the chances are good that all the Companions will be in there statted up, as well as beasties, creatures, and featuring characters in the stories and episodes. At least, that's my hope.

Then again, I have to say that statting up creatures and the like seems so much easier in Primeval RPG to be honest. :)

I am happy they are doing these, and I am sure they will buy all the ones they publish. At the rate of their current releases, I may be 62 by the time they are done (LOL).

Actually, these sourcebooks are all supposed to be out by the end of the year, more likely by the middle of 2013 I would expect.

The game that I'm looking forward to right now from Cubicle 7 is Rocket Age, the third game that uses the system from DW: AiTaS and Primeval.

I wasn't even aware of Rocket Age! That sounds cool!

[jkahane]

Yep, definitely sounds cool. Looking forward to it myself, and the fact that it uses the Saturday Afternoon Tea-Time Adventure System (SATTAS), though it's officially the Vortex System, is even cooler. :)
