Well, aside from the "obvious" (more "All the Strange, Strange Creatures" and "All of Time and Space" volumes) and excluding all ideas which fall outside the official licence (such as a Torchwood Companion or stuff taken from Big Finish audiobooks), here are some ideas for thematic supplements (in the same style as "The Silurian Age" and "Paternoster Investigations") and campaigns that would really make interesting books IMHO:
- A supplement on History in the game - including NPC historical celebrities, short overviews of interesting historical settings (e.g. Ancient Rome, Renaissance Firenze, French Revolution, early 20th century China etc.) detailed discussion on how to handle alternate histories, fixed points and involuntary blunders occurring during adventures etc.
- A supplement on various Earth Futures ("All Our Futures" would make a nice title, eh?) - including the various Earth Empires and the 51st century of Magnus Greel, Time Agents etc., as well as background on futuristic organisations which may act as patrons for player-characters, such as the Space Security Service, the Torchwood Archives, the Time Agency etc.
- A concept-based campaign à la Key-to-Time or in the same style as the excellent one in the 8th Doctor sourcebook.
- An intrigue-heavy campaign set on Gallifrey - with exclusively Time Lord PCs, hidden agendas, secret factions etc.

I would argue a book about future earth history would be the thing that really tickles my fancy. Another good idea would be have something similar to the eighth doctor sourcebook and have full campaign modules in a similar vein to how pathfinder does it. I'd also like to see some original companions and time lords (or doctors) in their products similar to how FASA did it. Finally my last suggestion would be updated Dalek, Cyber men and Master sourcebooks (with other things attached to it like the Silurian book if need be).
Any takers to these ideas?

A future history could be interesting. Maybe combined with the past history book Olegrand also mentioned depending on how much material there is.
Of the enemy sourcebooks, I'd soonest like to see a Cybermen, then Daleks perhaps. Both these enemies in particular have a ton of info, stat blocks, all kinds of stuff scattered throughout the different books, I'd like to see them consolidated. In the Cybermen it would be neat to see ideas on how to integrate the various looks together like they did on the finale for this season.

My favourite part of any of your books is the new character traits. However, I find most of them go unused in my campaigns because none of the players want to go flipping through 10 books looking for them. Maybe some kind of PDF supplement with all of the UNIT/Time-Lord/Dinosaur/Other traits listed in it would be handy?
Also maybe some sort of campaign setting books. For example, a guide to the Great and Bountiful Human Empire. It could feature planets, spaceships, aliens and gadgets appropriate to the setting, and maybe a few adventures too.

Torchwood.
I don't care how difficult getting the licence is or how expensive it is. I'll pay extra for the book if I have to.
This is the supplement I want the most.

I'd like to see a Second Edition Time Traveller's Companion with updated series background, science and game info. There's been a lot of new temporal ground covered since its publication and I think it deserves an update.

Campaign settings for popular planets visited throughout Dr Who. That's all that comes to mind at the moment.

All of these sound good to me - however, I would like to request some adventure/modules (ala fasa's Doctor Who game), as well as more campaign books.

Time War, 12th Doctor Sourcebook, Torchwood/Sarah Jane guides, and a guide to the future as the Silurian Age was a guide to prehistory. If anything else comes to me, I'll post it.

Interesting stuff, cheers guys! What I probably can say, given that I think its been said before, is that sadly Torchwood and Sarah Jane (while awesome) mean negotiating more licence deals which does make that trickier. GM screens are tricky as they have different print requirements, but not impossible. Also for 'All of time and space' and "All the strange strange creatures' there is a reason we called them 'volume 1'

FYI, I'd actually be okay if the GM screen were just PDF. I understand they can be pretty expensive to print, and I've never much used them as actual screens anyway. I just like having a nice pack of collated and formatted reference tables to print out and have with me at the table, so I don't have to thumb through the corebook so much.

When you get round to the inevitable '13th Doctor Edition', would it be possible to consider simply releasing the core book as a generic Doctor Who book, without ties to a specific Doctor incarnation, and release both 12th and 13th Doctor sourcebooks as seperate things?
The book could simply have a picture of the TARDIS on the cover, as an icon, and then mix the stills within it from all the different incarnations. The characters in the back could be more generic archetypes possibly, although I know this might get tricky.

Add my vote- I really enjoyed the adventures in that book! Maybe with a connected theme... like instead of a Mars sourcebook,, maybe an ice warrior campaign book with source material included (think the first quarter or half of the Silurian Book + 4-6 connected adventures) - also I'd be interested in some material on the Federation as seen in the Peladon stories (maybe these could be combined a bit what with the Ice Warriors being apart of the Federation)...
Anyway, just an idea off the top of my head...

I think it's all agreed that we want campaign books. I might be the odd one out in hoping that we might get adventures modules with pregen characters in them like the FASA books did but that's just me

I think pre-gens would be great! I have a lot of people I wanna introduce DWRPG to, but they don't have a lot (any) RP experience and pre-gens can really help with this. I know there are the characters from the TV show in the books, but that can be intimidating for some people, they feel pressure like its an acting gig or something, or its a character from the classic series they're not familiar with. And making a character from scratch can take a while for newbies and they lose interest. I want to just throw them in, so they can get a taste.
Also, I find it inspiring to see other peoples original characters and pre-gens. Kind of a jumping off point for the imagination...

In answer to pre-gens there are a lot in the main rulebook. You get many of the series characters and plenty of 'off the rack' characters too. If you have the book on pdf you can just print them out and play.

Okay, as a customer, I could abstain from that, but C7 probably doesn't have the choice. I assume they have to do a new corebook for every new doctor. Not enviable.
