introduction
‘Think about me, when you’re living your life. One day after another, all
in a neat pattern. Think about the homeless traveller in his old police
box. Days like crazy paving.’
Having survived a sentence of death from the Time
Lords and an attempt on his life from his own future
self, it is a simple gravity beam from the Rani that
forces the Doctor to regenerate once more.
The Seventh Doctor replaced the arrogance of his
predecessor with an almost naïve fortitude in the
face of evil. At first appearing to be nothing more than
a mad professor, he quietly revealed a dangerously
sharp and focused mind. The Seventh Doctor was
always one step ahead of his enemies, littering
time with traps to catch the unwary at their weakest
moment. He was a true lord of time, looking ahead
not just to his own future but seeing the potential in
his companions. He constantly tested and challenged
not only his enemies but also those who travelled
with him. Only when they had survived their latest
encounter did his companions understand what the
Doctor had put them through; how they had unlocked
parts of themselves they never knew they had.
In his seventh incarnation the Doctor is a mystery.
At first glance he seems unimpressive, but only
those who come to know him understand the depth
of his plans and secrets. He is a puppet-master, a
visionary, a teacher and a friend. He is a guardian of
the universe, the gatekeeper of secrets, and perhaps
even more than a Time Lord…
Welcome to
The Seventh Doctor Sourcebook.

you’ll find a wealth of information on the Seventh
Doctor and his adventures, to help you recreate this

campaign.
faced from the Rani to Fenric and
Chapter Four:
Designing Seventh Doctor Adventures
offers advice
on crafting your own Seventh Doctor adventures
and adding the right feel, tone and style for the
era.
Chapter Five
describes the Seventh Doctor’s
adventures. Each adventure has the following
sections:
•
Synopsis:
Where did the TARDIS materialise?
Who did the Doctor meet? And what horrible
fates awaited the travellers there? This section
summarises the key events of the adventure
as experienced by the Seventh Doctor and his
companions.
Running the Adventure:
Next, we discuss how to
run the adventure. We get into the nuts and bolts
of plotting and Gamemastering, how to adapt
the adventure to different Doctors or different
groups of player characters, and how to use bits
and pieces of the adventure in your own games.
Characters, Monsters & Gadgets:
If there are
important non-player characters, interesting
monsters, or shiny new gadgets in the adventure,
you’ll find them here. Sometimes, we’ll give you
full statistics for a character. At other times,
when their Attributes and Skills are obvious or
irrelevant, we’ll just list their key Traits.
Further Adventures:
So, what happens after
the Doctor leaves? (Or what happened before
he arrived?) These further adventure seeds
give ideas on spin-offs, sequels and alternative
histories that expand on the Doctor’s initial
adventures.
