Doctor Who RPG comes in October

According to an announcement of the Cubicle 7 site and this forum post, the Doctro Who RPG is finally coming in October. Why any mention of that game had been removed from the Cubicle 7 site after the relaunch is still a mystery to me, but I am happy that they didn’t cancel the game after all. Although I am still skeptical if that could really work, I am very interested in the upcoming game!

Doctor Who RPGThe game will be released as a boxed set that will contain a Players Guide, GM Guide, an Adventure Book and character sheets etc. The whole thing will set you back approx. 60$. Sounds like a good deal.

I'm actually really excited about this – I wonder how they'll manage to combine the group activity of RPGs with the whole "last Time Lord" thing.

But I am very excited for this – although a bit disappointed in what's in the box. There should be minis – Dalek minis!

I have Dalek minis and the eyes and suction cups are so incredibly breakable. So yeah, no need. If I need minis, I'm using the 6" action figures >:)

I wonder about the setting too. Timelord seemed to assume you played the actual Doctor, while FASA made the characters CIA (or rogue CIA). I found neither all that satisfying. What I hope to see is a strong chargen that makes companions as useful and interesting as the Time Lord.
