Hi everyone.
I've been wracking my brain with this for a little while now and absolutely no ideas are coming forward so I need some help and inspiration with this plot please
One of my group is playing a robot character. He is in a little bit of danger of getting overlooked because I only have 3 players; one is the Doctor, and the other character will be part of the main plotline. As a result, I wanted to do an adventure that focuses on this robot character to give him some attention.
The character background is that he was built by the Dominators and has a massive potential to invent and create devices (there were 5 of his kind built) but they deemed inefficient so they were decommissioned and destroyed. However, at least 2 of the 5 survived it.
The robot character was captured by the Cybermen and orchestrated the invention of the Cybermats. Eventually, he was rescued by the Doctor and their adventures together began.
So.... the adventure that focusses on this character would be best to include the Cybermen, Dominators, or both.
The problem is I can't think of a way of making a decent plot out of those elements.
The only idea I did come up with was a cliff hanger opening: The TARDIS lands on a darkened spaceship. As they investigate they find people dead from the cyber virus (see Revenge of the Cybermen). From there, I would want a way of making it so the spaceship is going to crash into a planet down below so the group would need to do something dramatic and I could "cut to the theme music". Problem is that surely both the Doctor AND Arty would know what the virus was and so doesn't create tension.
Any ideas for a plot out of this mess?
