* Starship and space station creation rules — you don’t have to explore the Universe with a TARDIS, with revised spaceship creation rules to get you travelling the stars.
* Alien world creation — new vistas to explore, strange places to see.
* A selection of planets from the series — want to return to Skaro, Trenzalore, Karn, or Akhaten? We’ve got you covered! Each planet looks at its environment and history, and provides adventure ideas to get you started.Physical copies to be sent Q2 2023.

Doesn't seem to be on DriveThru yet (as of this message, of course).
Also, man, everything seems to be coming out around the same time right now... I treated myself too much this month already, so gonna have to wait to pick this up. I adore books with setting stuff in, especially planet stuff. Kinda wish they had done this one sooner, but hey... Better late than never at least.

First impressions favourable but another bloody print-faithful PDF. Let's see what we can do about that...

There's an odd error in the chapter on Ribos, in that it seems to consider Garron's claim of large deposits of Jethrik as being true, whereas it was just part of his con. The chapter does say that Garron's own lump of Jethrik was a disguised segment of the Key to Time, but there's then a sidebar with an adventure suggestion concerning pirates mining the Jethrik using teleport technology. A bit of an oversight which should have been picked up in editing and proofing, I feel!

The chapter on Inter Minor claims that the planet is home to Drashigs (though it goes on to say that they're from one of the moons of Gruntle - incidentally, normally written as Grundle). Obviously Drashigs were released from the miniscope in Carnival of Monsters, but they were all polished off by Vorg and any that were left were returned home by whatever the Doctor did to the 'scope at the end of the story. In fact, that's pretty much stated later in the chapter.
So where do the Drashigs that live on Inter Minor come from? It doesn't seem to be explained. In Carnival of Monsters, the Inter Minorian officials viewing them in the 'scope don't recognise them, and they're portrayed as being so ferocious that it's unlikely that they'd be allowed to live in the wild on an inhabited world.
An adventure seed suggests that one escaped Vorg's attentions and is wreaking havoc in the sewers. Which is a far cry from Inter Minor being home to them.

Yeah, that’s obviously a slight mistake on the part of the publisher there. I mean, if you were to make the idea work I suppose you could say the Drashigs were native to Inter Minor but a long time ago in it’s pre history to the point where they are now extinct and no remains of them exist. Hence the modern Inter Minorians being unable to recognise them. Otherwise, as you say, I doubt such a species would be allowed to exist and certainly not thrive on such a controlled and widely regulated world. |

If you do not mind me asking what planets are featured within the book, I am talking all of them here just am curious to see which planets. All I know based on the comments here were Inter Minor and Ribos (which I do like Ribos not gunna lie)
