Anuyone who would buy the game is already in love with Doctor Who, but it needs to be playable and the problem with the FASA and Time Lords (that free version on web) is that the mechanics are super weak, flimsy and just leave way more questions than answers. Also, who is going to want to play the Doctor? why not play generic Gallifreians in the Doctor Who universe. i'm currently adapting Doctor Who to a d20 for a home brew. If this game does that and it rocks i'll scrap or merge it with what I have, if not and this is just a bunch of course materials based that already are out in there in dozens of forms, i'll pass.
