Based on past versions of the Doctor Who game, do we really need rebranding with the current Doctor?? We don't, but the BBC does. It's marketing. Trying to promote the current doctor. And maybe they're also concerned that our little pea-brains will get confused if we see David Tennant on the box, that we'll think the game is "old" and is good only up to the previous doctor's adventures. I know. It's idiotic. But that's modern business. Hot properties. Brand consciousness. Cretins and toads.

The rebranding concern isn't aimed at grognard gamers like us, but parents and young children who might stumble across the game in a store and want to get their "little Boris" the latest Doctor Who doo-dad. If it has Tennant on, the chances are they are going to think it's old stock. You have to remember that the general public isn't as Who (or RPG) savvy as the people who frequent the boards.

I agree Kit though I do like that they gave us the pdf, I really just couldn't break down and buy just a pdf. I have to have a physical copy.

Its out now in the UK (Aliens and creatures supplement) , picked up a copy at Forbidden Planet earlier today. Leisure Games confirmed that my pre-order with them (back in January) is still active, and that they received the book on Tuesday ... hopefully they'll be dispatching postal orders soon if they haven't done already. I'd love to have a box set in my hand before I leave for Indiecon ...

Is this version the same as the PDF which was released a few months ago or has it been rebranded / extended / modified ?

Excellent news! My pre-order is through Leisure Games too! Mine arrived today, a day short of ten months since I pre-ordered it Hoorah! At last I have it in my evil little paws, and it is a thing of beauty. I love the monster cards, the book is as solid as ever, and the first adventure in the Adventure Book is oddly familiar since it seems to be the scenario I played at Dragonmeet back in 2008 (or, at least, quite similar to it ...)

Got mine yesterday. Hopefully the next few sourcebooks will be not be far behind. I think its safe to believe we won't see anything else this year. If we had the rebranded core set, Defending the Earth, and Time Traveller's Companion by the start of series 6, I'll be happy.

I got mine last night. It is well worth the wait Shame there's only a description for the Cyber-King and not rules for it. I was looking forward to having it smashing up the city for my game Although it does say that robots and androids will appear in another supplement, so maybe it'll be included in whatever they appear in.

It's a very nicely presented sourcebook with loads of great information and stats that will keep my group adventuring for some time yet. I do hope this game sells well so the line continues.
