Has anyone played some of the adventures that came in the Aliens & Creatures Adventure Book? The one with Daleks seemed very cool!

I may also be having trouble reconciling it with the 7th Doctor story "Battlefield." I'll have to reread the Sycorax adventure as i dont remember it well. |

"Battlefield" featured survivors of a Camelot of another reality (the Doctor said as much at one point) so doesn't necessarily need to be reconciled with what's in the Adventure Book

It doesn't have to be reconciled. But as the Doctor found a message for himself carved in stone and the spaceship with Arthur and Exaclibur were present in this reality, it bugs me. Doesnt stop anyone else from enjoying the adventure in A&C though. |

There was some good stuff in the adventures booklet. I was quite impressed. I thought the Rosetta Plague was the stand-out though. I think I'd like to run that one if I can fit it into the game.
Daleks are pretty deadly. King Arthurs knights are going to need some serious firepower in the adventure to damage them, btw.

We've had Space Arthurians before in the last of the Fourth Doctor's comic strips in Doctor Who Magazine, The Neutron Knights. Worth looking up (in the second collection of his comics, Dragon's Claw) for comparison and for the art by Dave Gibbons. And the Merlin who appeared there (and reappeared in later stories) was a different being...
Arthurian mythology could be some sort of "time knot", a point where multiple conflicting realities tie together and one definitive reality is impossible. Land in the appropriate time and place and you'll arrive in one of several possible versions of the time, before time knots back together later on and all the versions gather into a single timeline where those involved remember things slightly differently.
Like how the Whoniverse has three different versions of Atlantis.

And the Merlin who appeared there (and reappeared in later stories) was a different being... He was the same Merlin as appeared in the Captain Britain strips at around the same time IIRC, both drawn by Dave Gibbons. On a similar note, the Special Executive appeared in both the Captain Britain stories and in the 4-D War and Black Sun Rising back-up strips for DWM, all written by Alan Moore. OK, I'll stop now...  |

It's a real shame that we're unlikely to get an Alan Moore Doctor Who comics reprint.

I think The Camelot one with the daleks would work well for The meddling monk
