I like this. I used something a bit like it in my 'Pulp Who' campaign idea. 'The Doctor' was perceived as a vaguely malign figure operating unseen in the background, manipulating events for his own reasons. It fits into the manipulative Doctor theme of the later Virgin novels rather well too.
It’s an interesting concept. Reminds me a lot of the Victim Syndicate from a recent run of Batman. dc.fandom.com/wiki/Victim_SyndicateA group formed of casualties from across the various Doctor’s adventures who seek revenge on him. With someone, of course, stoking the fires of said hatred. Maybe the group has even tried to recruit Chloé Webber? But she is reluctant and is merely trying to move on with her life. Even if as the group states, she still is drawing pictures of her late father… Talking about stoking the fires. Of course we could have someone like The Master or The Rani manipulate events and fuel the fire. Or maybe some alien entity who hates the Doctor. For example, a Zygon can take on any form. So they could easily look like someone who they know suffered a loss thanks to the Doctor and manipulate others. But it could easily as well be the original person, of course, just saying that there are some people/beings/creatures who could totally manipulate the situation for their own personal goal.

Absolutely, just as with Abzorbaloff and Banto Zane.

An idea for a more alternate timeline (or perhaps the original timeline) is to have one with the focus of Harriet Jones as the Prime Minister still with three consecutive terms I believe it was. Now we do know the 10th doctor did alter history which allowed for the Saxon Master to take charge. I believe it would be interesting to have a campaign could be a UNIT campaign or independent characters or even government agents etc with Harriet Jones as the Prime Minister reacting and dealing with all the alien threats throughout the 2000s, 2010s and early 2020s.

What about a timeline where the Slitheen got Harriet Jones in the end. And the Harriet seen in this alternate timeline is a Slitheen using her skin?

I like this one as well, that certainly would be interesting. Perhaps Blon Fel-Fotch took over Harriet?

I actually think you could run a few adventures featuring the exploits of Captain Cook set before his and Mags arrival on the planet Segonax in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.

I was about to mention that too. In the two-parter The Lost Boy, the Slitheen use this technology to appear as slimmer humans.

True, I'd forgotten about their reappearance in the SJA.

Hmmm, a stolen time machine and a chase through time as he attempts to hunt/collect creatures (or people)?

But its one of those were its hard to give Captain Cook an ending though due to well his demise in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.

Stranded in some primitive time period (hunting dinosaurs?) and left to die? Ship drifting in space? Captured by the race he tried to enslave/betray/use?

tardis.fandom.com/wiki/JodafraAfter reading the excellent Eighth Doctor Expanded Universe Sourcebook, it got me thinking just what exactly happened to Count Jodafra. We know his ultimate fate but where exactly did he go to after escaping from the Eighth Doctor and Destrii?

Speaking of Count Jodafra, it might be rather interesting to have him appear in a Ninth Doctor adventure or an adventure set in a post-Time War universe. With the Time Lords all dead (supposedly) and a great many of the Temporal Powers either weakened, killed or spirited away to another universe he’d have less competition/obstacles when it comes to making Time and Space his own personal playground.
Not to mention, as was originally intended by his original creator, he’d make for a good fill in for the Master.

tardis.fandom.com/wiki/The_Flood_(The_Waters_of_Mars)Was it ever established where the Flood came from? Was it native to Mars or was it introduced into the ecosystem either deliberately or accidentally? Personally, I think there’s an adventure to be had in your PCs assisting the Ice Warriors in containing the outbreak and avoiding the Infected.

tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Sandman_(Sleep_No_More)One from the revived series. Be very easy to do a follow up adventure with your PCs dealing with the fallout of this adventure. You could even have Rassmussen return as a main villain now serving as the face and voice of the Sandmen. Personally though, I’d be more curious in exploring what the society of the future is like with regards to the use of the Morpheus Process. Have it set in an office block or something and make it deeply satirical. Or just, you know, a run around with Sandmen.

Inspired by the original "Into the Dark Dimension" script (the story that eventually became 'Dimensions in Time'), I like the idea of someone travelling back in time to stop the Doctor from regenerating and the player must stop this person and revisits iconic locations like the South Pole, the UNIT base in the 70's (or 80's?), the Pharos Project, Androzani Minor, San Francisco, Karn, Trenzalore, etc...

That is an interesting idea indeed. Would be cool to work with it involving a Time Lord PC as well though and re-explore familiar locations within their campaign.

This is kinda what I had planned for a thing. A searching for the Doctor sort of thing, and you end up in places they've visited but like weeks or months after they've visited. Using some of the "Further Adventure" hooks in the Doctor Sourcebooks.
