Multi-Time Lord Meetings

[thereviewer]

So with everything that happened Saturday, I thought I'd share this here as well. Given how many multi-Doctor stories we have (both on TV and in various expanded universe stories,) has anyone here done a multi-Time Lord meeting story? How've your Time Lords reacted to meeting their past and/or future selves? Any memorable quotes? Advice passed on?


Feel free to share any memorable moments from any Multi-Time Lord story here.

The Dark Dimension hasn't yet had a multi-Doctor story... but we're preparing for a big one. The plan is that at some point in the future we'll be running an adventure, based on the missing module "The House That Eats Time," in which the Nth Doctor (Richard E Grant) and the Lost Doctor (Jeremy Brett) meet... and then encounter a third Doctor, the yet-to-be-revealed next incarnation for our campaign. Indeed, this adventure will introduce the Lost Doctor's surprise successor, ahead of the regeneration itself. Only the game master for the adventure will know the identity of the third Doctor.

That said, I'm very interested in seeing what others will have to post here. I'd appreciate ideas and suggestions.

I haven't done a story in-game, but I did one for the regeneration of an NPC, Galen, from his first to second incarnation.

Briefly, after the Sontaran invasion of Gallifrey, a faction of the Time Lord High Council try to alter the course of history to weaken the Sontarans. One of the plans involves detonating the star of an inhabited system where the Sontarans have massed a battle fleet. The two Galens land on a space station where Lord Velkrin, an agent of the renegade Council faction, is trying to set the scheme in motion. In the end, the first Galen gives his life to defeat it, regenerating into the second.

As is traditional, the two versions don't entirely get on. #1 thinks #2 is a flamboyant, attention-seeking show-off, and #2 thinks that #1 has escaped from the cast of the Big Bang theory.

"You're the next version? Funny. I always thought I'd end up as a woman, the first time"
"You did. I'm in drag"

"I'm your future. Didn't anyone ever tell you that you can't fight the future?"
"No, but I'm allowed to annoy the hell out of you. Read the small print"

Velkrin (to Galen #2): "You thought I wouldn't recognize you in that body?"
Galen #1: "I can't think of any other reason for the false beard and the unconvincing wig"
Galen #2 (to Vekrin): Sorry about that. He jumped to conclusions because he hasn't started shaving yet"

"I'm sorry that I can't be with you tonight, but Me and Myself are here to accept the award for Best Defeat of an Evil Plot on her behalf"

Great lines! I read up on your site about some of the characters. Very impressive! I did do one adventure that hinted at my player's Time Lady regeneration that was kind of similar except it was a Time Lady meeting a vision of her future companion while still with her current companion. The story went that during an adventure in Egypt in mid-World War II, my player's Time Lady, Kanya, found herself and her companion caught in the middle of a Cyberman/Nazi Alliance (of course, The Cybermen were just using them to get what they wanted,) and an army of Weeping Angels that had been buried in a pyramid. Worse yet was that in this pyramid with the Weeping Angels was The Moment from the 50th Anniversary story along with some ancient-Gallifreyan writing. Kanya translated the writing saying that apparently Rassilon used The Moment to lock away a bunch of the Weeping Angels away and then sealed the rest off in this pyramid. After evading all sides, Kanya and her companion Murphy managed to escape along with the Moment. As Kanya made preparations to have someone pick up the Moment and bring it back to Gallifrey, the doors to her TARDIS somehow opened on their own. When Kanya asked who was there, a voice told her it was nothing. "Just the winds of time." Kanya and Murphy looked back to discover a young boy, probably in his early teens, wearing loin cloths and daggers sitting ontop of the Moment. Kanya demanded he get off the device as he might set it off, so she and Murphy pulled him off, only to turn back and find that he was imminently sitting back on top of it. Of course, this was the Moment's interface using one of Kanya's companions from the future to talk to her. I already have him worked out. Without giving away too much, he's essentially from Leela's tribe back in 'The Face of Evil' which Kanya's new second incarnation is going to visit soon. The reason I chose this form of a companion is to give the next stories with this companion a more 'Classic Series Doctor Who' vibe both in Kanya attempting to help educate this young boy, and having a seniority feeling in the TARDIS.

Great idea! Looking forward to seeing who the next Doctor is. I actually considered doing that as a story in my Adventures of Kanya game, but I ultimately decided that I would let my player choose Kanya's incarnations first. So far, the first Kanya was based on my player's appearance before she regenerated facing The Master who was draining the Eye of Harmony both on her TARDIS before moving on to drain the eye on Gallifrey. Kanya fought him within the Matrix, while her companion Murphy teamed up with Leela, Romana, and the outsiders of Gallifrey who managed to switch off the eye and defeat The Master. As the Master weakened, the Matrix exploded and although Kanya got out, one last giant explosion caught her in the face, resulting in her getting a bad dosage of Bio-Electric Matrix Feedback Damage, which forced her body to regenerate. Her current form resembles Emilia Clarke from Game of Thrones, but with a Scottish accent. I recommend reading more in my Adventures of Kanya section of the 'Your Campaign' board. My first story for Kanya's second incarnation is going to have a twist involving her first incarnation, but since my player is more familiar with New Who and because I got a photo during a recent trip to Awesome Con with both this character's actor and David Tennant, it'll also guest-star none other than Captain Jack Harkness in 1971, during the time he spent on Earth waiting to meet The Doctor again post-The Parting of Ways and Pre-Utopia. I'm going to personally wait until Kanya regenerates again to do a Multi-Kanya Adventure, so I can do 'The Three Kanyas.' I already know what's going to bring them together, by using an adventure seed from the Fourth Doctor sourcebook and taking inspiration from last year's Titan Comics Doctor Who Crossover Event; Supremacy of the Cybermen in the way I had hoped we'd see the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Doctors utilized in that story (although there is a good chance we'll see them utilized that way in the upcoming Doctor Who: The Lost Dimension Comic Event this fall.) I'm personally looking forward to seeing who Kanya's player chooses to be her successor. I suggested Amanda Pays from the 1990's Flash TV show, since when I watched it recently, I had a feeling that she could be a great follow-up to Kanya's second incarnation.
