There's not a great deal in it, but I'm adding anything that doesn't fit into my other documents to a miscellaneous bag of stuff here. Not much in there right now: An Auton racial package, some Sontaran vehicles and some play examples for combat. I'll update it every now and then according to what I need to produce for my game. K.

There doesn't seem to be a file there at the moment - is this something you're adding later?

Very nice.
I like the racial package. We need more of these in the game. Maybe someday i'll sit down and do the math for Slitheen or Sontaran packages and the like.
I also liked the combat examples. They nicely illustrate just how dangerous combat is in this game.
Well done.

At first I said no, and then decided... "why not?"

I'm also impressed with the Auton race package. I think you've kept the key elements of an Auton while providing the grounds for a viable character which shouldn't be unbalanced. You've done the right thing in removing the Autons' Immunity trait but retaining the Armour.
I've not really done anything with vehicles yet, but the Sontaran ships look interesting. Good stuff!

You've done the right thing in removing the Autons' Immunity trait but retaining the Armour. I've not really done anything with vehicles yet, but the Sontaran ships look interesting. Good stuff! Specifically, the Auton package is for the Deep Cover style Autons as seen in Pandorica Opens. The Doctor pointed out that they could still be damaged so I went with that. The Sontaran ships are just a bit of fun. It's pretty silly in game to have weapons that do that much damage or fly at that speed. But they are calculated properly and I figured Sontarans are the ultimate "boys and their toys" race which is why the ships have such overblown names. I imagine the Sontarans have online forums filled with massive flamewars about the advantages of the Mark 62 short-range laser rifle with extended carbine vs. the Mark 62b short-range laser rifle with extended carbine. Incidentally, I set the Armour on them where I did so that my New Paradigm Daleks using short range blasting, could blow their way inside. Daleks trump everything. K.

Though rather than the Slitheen, I'd do a more generic Raxacoricofallapatorian. (I'm rather worried that I typed that without looking it up). K.

Yeah. That's why i typed "Slitheen." I figured i could spell it. For shame. And I thought you were such a Who expert! Why next you'll be abbreviating Romanadvoratrelundar to something silly like "Romana".

I wont update this thread every time I add some little thing to the document. I'll just mentioned that I've added in grown-up Ace and her bike.
As always, I take cannon as my source, and then make something suitable for my game.

The adult Ace write-up is very well done. Mind you, I LOATHE adult ace, but the write-up is well done.

I've only seen the TV stuff, but the tardis wiki said a bit about her future fate so I based my version on that and what I'd seen of her on the TV show as a younger woman.

This is the adult Ace from after the Virgin New Adventures? Again, looks good to me. I'd be tempted to add Argumentative, but I guess she's older and wider now, a bit more chilled than the Ace of old. Great stuff!

I had some more material from my game so I've added it in. Material on space flight and sample ships. I reckon it will be of use to those that want to add a bit of extra depth / flavour to their game.
As always, comments are greatly appreciated.

Which reminds me, have you done any more lately/ The ships and design philosophy seem sound to me. I particularly liked "handwavium," "blat," and "REAL Cybermen."

I look forward to the updates. Which reminds me, have you done any more lately/ The ships and design philosophy seem sound to me. I particularly liked "handwavium," "blat," and "REAL Cybermen." Heh. Yeah, none of these plodding alternate Earth goons for me. Somewhere out in the Universe are proper next-generation Mondasians with cunning plans and icy-tombs. And my bet is that next season we'll see Moffat bring them back. They'll probably look the same as Pete's World Cybermen, but inside they'll be smarter and nastier. Although that said, the entire Pete's World arc was utterly worth it just to see the Daleks slapping the Cybermen silly. "We would destroy the Cyberment with one Da-lek". Anyway, this is all about to come up in my game because the PCs ended the last story with the stealing of a Sontaran scout ship. We've got four humans and a dead Sontaran crammed into one of those little one-man silver balls currently shooting off into Space at 0.2 the speed of light due to a "No, but..." piloting roll. Hence I needed to crunch some quick numbers to get a feel for things. EDIT: You asked if I had done any more updates, lately? Apart from this one? Well, no new monsters but I do have a couple of other adventures nearly written up, one of which I'm running tonight so I'll probably finish it up and post it, if anyone is interested?

In Pandorica Opens, I was wondering when and where and how they got Cyberships. In the game Blood of the Cybermen, I kept thinking they were proper Cybermen with a Pete's World look.

Let's hope. In Pandorica Opens, I was wondering when and where and how they got Cyberships. In the game Blood of the Cybermen, I kept thinking they were proper Cybermen with a Pete's World look. I'd give good odds that's what we're going to get. They've invested a lot in the new look Cybermen and let's be honest here, the old ones wouldn't quite cut it in NuWho without some revision. What I've been getting from Moffat's work is a big liking for a lot of the Classic Who level of thought and flavour that was sometimes missed under RTD. The Cybermen in Pandorica Opens are almost certainly our Universe's own Cybermen. Anyway, I like cybermen. They're less 'galaxies in flames' than the Daleks and more a military machine on our own level. Clever, cunning, powerful but not invulnerable. Destroying worlds is enough for them. They make good adversaries without having to go all Season Finale on us. I put all my stuff in PDFs because I really like the way it looks and because I can then see how many people have downloaded it which I like. Also, some of my stuff is just so long that I assume it's more useful for people to get it in one tight file. K.

I'm looking forward to the new adventures. The Whitsun War is one i'd definitely use! Well I've just run the latest one and I have a short list of things I need to amend before releasing to the public. Principally I found it was a bit too non-linear and open for my players. They needed more hand-holding and direction, so I'm going to add some extra clues to the adventure which is basically a mystery (it's called "the Great Fake Egg Theft"). Players managed to surprise me in a few places. Not least of which the player who got romantically involved with the adiposean ambassador. I hadn't expected things to get that far, but well, it certainly added an unexpected level to the adventure. I'll post the adventure when it's written up.

Hi, This is just to mention that I've added a few extra things to the "Supplemental" document recently ( Link). I wont post here every time I add something new - it's just a dumping ground for things I need for my game so it tends to get a trickle of new material depending on when I'm next running a session. Anyway, what I think is new since I last posted in this thread are Sontaran Special Forces (including a better version of their armour and a neat gadget), possibly some new vehicles (not sure), and a new species - the Procyon Planets. The last are wholely my invention, not from Who. They snuck into the last game I ran but one and were largely an improvisation made up at the last minute which the players seemed to really like so I wrote them up. I think people might really like these. As always, I bother doing this for feedback so the more comments I get the more likely it is you'll see more of this. I welcome criticism. Peace and coolness, Khadim.
