introduction
‘It’s the end… but the
moment has been
prepared for.’
The Fourth Doctor was mortally wounded,
betrayed by the Master while saving the universe
yet one more time. But with those words, the
Doctor merged his physical form with that of his
“future incarnation,” the mysterious Watcher, and
regenerated for a fourth time.
This time, however, wasn’t going to be easy. This
Doctor would face heartbreak, failure and loss. Old
enemies would return in number to menace the
universe. One of his companions would even plot
to murder him. And in the end, he would have to
sacrifice himself to save another.
But it wouldn’t all be bad. The Fifth Doctor would
save the universe from these threats over and over.
He’d make some of the dearest friends he’d ever
know. And occasionally, he’d have time to join a
party or play a ripping game of cricket.
Join the Fifth Doctor and his companions as they
explore the infinite dimensions of space and time!
Who knows what adventures await you? Brave
heart, my friends…
the adventures he had in his first incarnation. After
that, we’ll delve into the Fifth 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 Fifth 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. There are lots of ways to use
these adventures. You can use our suggestions
for Further Adventures, or build your own
adventures using the material provided. In
fact, if your players aren’t familiar with these
classic stories, then you can substitute your
player characters for the Fifth Doctor and
his companions and ‘rerun’ the adventures.
Maybe your player characters will take other
paths and make different decisions – can they
prevent Omega from passing through the
Arc of Infinity, or find a way to escape from
the antimatter explosion that doomed the
dinosaurs, or survive spectrox poisoning in the
caves of Androzani?

hoW to use this Book
The
Fifth Doctor Sourcebook
is primarily a
Gamemaster’s resource for running adventures
either with or in the style of the Fifth Doctor. While
players will certainly benefit from the background
information on the Doctor and his Companions, all
of the rules needed to create or portray the Fifth
Doctor’s companions are found in the
Doctor Who:
Adventures in Time and Space
core rules.
This book is designed to be a guide to capturing the
feel of the Fifth Doctor’s era and incorporating it
into your adventures. Chapter One describes the
