Are they alluding to Death, Dream, Desire, and the rest of the 7? Because that opens up a whole extra can of worms... Technically, those are 'The Endless'. not the Eternals

Technically, those are 'The Endless'. not the Eternals Never let petty semantics get in the way of a good idea. That quote came to us from the Gallifreyan, via a Slitheen-Gallifreyan/Gallifreyan-Slitheen dictionary and was passed on by a drunk Slitheen in a bar on Corax 7. Their words for Endless and Eternals are almost indistinguishable, especially when muttered by someone off their head on Corax real ale.

Are we accepting 'Seasons of War' as a source? Reviewing several wiki sites recently, they dont consider this source as its not canon. Thoughts?

They're unofficial, which isn't quite the same as not canon to my mind. I don't think we have a firm policy yet, but I was hoping to write up one or two things from Seasons of War for the 9th Doctor volume.

Im liking the contradictions so far. The War Master cd denotes a good one about the taking of the Crucible if youve heard it. Also, the comics 'boy Master'is an interesting take. Im working on a theory to shoehorn that in.

He has returned! On the final page of ‘The Clockwise War’ Part 3 in issue 526 of DWM.
Looks like it’ll be a War Doctor-centric Part 4 with Fay Truscott-Sade in the Time War.

After the first couple of installments, I was thinking that this story was trying to bring too many old faces back in at once - in fact, I've been struggling to identify some of them. But with that cliffhanger, it may just be worth it!

I think it's going to be a greatest hits, perhaps the end of the run for the strip ready for a new start for 13.
But it'll be nice to see some new War Doctor stuff.

The situation with the additional Seasons of War books seems to have got very messy. If anyone is still waiting for the ebooks or refunds or both (the print versions aren't happening now, apparently due to BBC intervention), Declan has this morning posted on Gallifrey Base that people should email the details (what you ordered, when and how much paid) to seasonsofwar.ebooks@gmail.comAnyone who has already done this, it is suggested to send the email again as there have seemingly been problems with the address. Personally, I'm still looking forward to the ebook editions -= it's just been a tad frustrating, particularly since the Facebook page was taken down.

Did we ever end up deciding what the case with the War Doctor would be? His own sourcebook or simply an addendum to the Ninth Doctor’s one?

Did we ever end up deciding what the case with the War Doctor would be? His own sourcebook or simply an addendum to the Ninth Doctor’s one? So far as I know, we're intending to include the War Doctor within the Ninth Doctor volume. There are two or three years before we start work on it, so things may change. But at the moment, there are still too few novels and audios to justify separate sourcebooks for each: - War Doctor - one novel and four audio box-sets, plus a few comics and short stories
- Ninth Doctor - six novels, one audio box-set and four standalone audios, plus comics and short stories
- Off-Off Canon - The Curse of Fatal Death and Scream of the Shalka
Even as a single sourcebook, it'll likely be one of the shorter volumes. How the sourcebook is structured is another matter - whether to have separate sections for the War Doctor and the Ninth Doctor or just combine them (with the Off-Off Canon entries at the end, as usual). I'll leave that up to Siskoid to decide. Incidentally, you may have noticed that the first volume of the Seventh Doctor sourcebooks wasn't released last year as we'd hoped. Writing the sourcebooks is pretty much a two-person project at the moment, and both Siskoid and myself have had long periods over the last year when either one or both of us have been too busy with work commitments to find time to write. I'm in one of those periods at the moment and it's unlikely to change until the end of January at the earliest. But the project is still very much alive. We've written around 90% of the Seventh Doctor Volume One, and the same for the Fourth Doctor Addendum which will follow it. I'd also started writing for the Seventh Doctor Volume Two before work intervened. So there's a lot of material ready - it's just a case of finding the time to finish it off.

Ah, fair enough. I thought so but I just wanted to check. Sounds like a solid plan to me. Unless of course we suddenly get an abundance of War Doctor related material which necessitates it having a separate sourcebook.
Glad to hear the EU Sourcebooks are still going ahead. It’s completely understandable considering how busy life can be. Take as much time as you need in my opinion and I’ll try my best to assist with stats in the future.

Heya ~ I may be a few years late but i'm trying and struggling to find those books I'd want to diverse my sources about time war and enrich my knowledge to distill mysteries and wounds for my upcoming campaing.
But for now every website i visit for those books is closed or ended dispensing copies.

Most of the announced books have never seen the light of day, in rather contentious circumstances unfortunately. In fact, the only ones that have been published to date are the original anthology Seasons of War (plus a second edition with a couple of extra stories) and the novel Seasons of War: Gallifrey, the latter from Altrix Books. Of those two, Seasons of War was only available for ordering during a very limited period, and Season of War: Gallifrey was a limited edition and, so far as I know, has sold out. Neither will be republished. There's one further book still on the cards (from a different publisher, Chinbeard Books) - an anthology called Seasons of War: Regenerations. It's not yet available to order.

Would it be possible for there to be, instead of a War Doctor sourcebook, a general Time War sourcebook containing the War Doctor stories and the other Time War-era releases from Big Finish so far?

It's not how we're planning on structuring our EU sourcebooks - a Time War book along those lines would cut across several of the planned sourcebooks and would largely be a duplication of content from them. I don't want to say an absolute no. After all, there's plenty of material which won't fit into any of the Doctors' sourcebooks, so would have to wait for the spin-off volumes, still quite a few years away - the War Master series, Gallifrey, Susan's War. So maybe, but it's not in our plans at the moment. The Eighth Doctor Time War stories will be in the second of his sourcebooks, and the War Doctor is currently planned to be included in the 9th Doctor volume.

We've talked it over and the more War stuff Big Finish and others come out with, the more such a book could be envisioned. To bolster it, we might cut the 8th Doctor books off before the Time War, and have his TW stories included in the War Doctor's volume.

I've been toying with producing an "Extra-Canonical Time Traveler's Companion" (which would cover the Time War in great detail). I'm just not sure when I would find the time. It would certainly be several months before I even had time to think about it. Please Do!!!- i think between the novels, and all the various Audio stories either about "The Last Great Time War" and/or make reference(S) to it should be sufficent material to start creating such a EU-EC companion guide!! plus it will be great to have ALL ((that we know of so far)) information on the Time war and its players/ characters/ equipment- synopsis of the stories "in a nut shell " so to speak so as to avoid lawsuits- in ONE place to be a very handy reverence!!

Only just saw this, sorry. Still working on updating my Rassilon Omega and that Other Guy website (there have been some massive changes in the last several months). The History of the Time Lords section needs a lot of work, but the Gallifreyan culture, and biology, and stuff pages are pretty up-to-date. Any sourcebook I got wrote would be mostly that stuff only with stats and game rules for the things described.

As Siskoid alluded to upthread, the EU Project is looking at producing a Time War sourcebook between the 8th and 9th Doctors'.

If it helps, Tardis wiki has an appearance page for all the Doctors, including the War Doctor. If there is going to be a Time War book, I feel I should point out that the War in Heaven (and by extension, Faction Paradox) should be touched on. [I am aware this would add a lot, if done in full.) Honestly I do personally consider the War in Heaven to be the original Time War, but when the Doctor tried to bring back Gallifrey without the Enemy also coming back, someone had to 'backfill' their position in the timeline...hence the Daleks in the Time War. This also kind of squares the novels with the revival era and the audioes. Also the Nineth (Shalka) Doctor did make a couple more appearances. Notably Feast of the Stone, which was an official story. So a little more to the Off-Off Cannon section.

This also kind of squares the novels with the revival era and the audioes. The War in Heaven and Faction Paradox are both covered in our 8th Doctor Volume 1 sourcebook, so there's no need to cover them again in the Time War sourcebook - we're treating the two wars as separate events (though as it happens, I did include a bit of speculation along the lines you suggested).
