I'm a long-time Whovian, but fairly new to the RPG. Here's my quick idea for a campaign:
------------------------------------------
Before the Last Time War, it was relatively easy to travel to alternate universes. Years ago (or years from now...), a scientific research team of 6 departs in their TTC, bound for another reality.
On or shortly after arrival, a disaster severely damages the ship and kills all but one of the team. The survivor manages to materialize on a primitive world. Decades pass as he struggles to repair the TARDIS.
At last, he is ready to cross back to our reality and go home to Gallifrey. But the barrier between universes has somehow become impassable! More years pass as he travels, gathering what he needs to breach the wall. At least, he succeeds - and Gallifrey is gone. He finds a dead world orbiting an ancient star. Even worse, the events leading up to this have been time locked, preventing him from reversing the disaster.
Nearly mad with grief and loneliness, he searches through our universe for answers. He finds hints of a great war between Gallifrey and the Daleks.
And then he discovers who is responsible. The renegade Time Lord known as the Doctor did something - exactly what is not clear - to end the war by committing mass genocide!
Enrage, our survivor decides to hunt down the Doctor and hold him to account for his crime. With grim resolve, he guides his TARDIS to one of the war criminal's known haunts - Temporal Nexus Point Earth.
---------------------------------------------------
There. A bit rough, but it's a start. I envision our survivor (perhaps he even calls himself the Survivor!) as an NPC who picks up the PCs as companions. He will tell them stories of the evil, evil Time Lord he hunts. Hilarity ensues!
If anyone has ideas to flesh this out or otherwise make it more interesting, post away!
