Change is inevitable. To resist change is to walk against the wind in a storm. Everything changes. That is the nature of time and the universe.

Sometimes I sympathise for the Auditors. Oh well maybe it's just the latest faffing oround on my project making me cynical.

It is a bit of a mouthful. I've called it "Doctor Who Third Time Right" also.

I might've asked this elsewhere, but if I did, don't recall if I got an answer: Why was the longer title used in the first place? The only thing that makes sense to me is that somehow, FASA's rights to the title "The Doctor Who RPG" hadn't expired until recently.

Probably because of the way Cubicle7 was marketing games at that time. They did something similar with The One Ring: Adventures Over the Edge of the Wild, which was originally going to have two companion sets. Doctor Who had Adventures in Time and Space, then there was Doctor Who: Aliens and Creatures.

As the mighty Spinal Tap said, on the subject of change: The more it stays the same, the less it changes!

I think that says it all.

Just remember who’s standing in your way, remember every black day I ever stopped you and then—AND THEN—do the smart thing: let somebody else try first.
