Sixty Years of Adventure

[Nyder]

Cubicle 7 have announced Doctor Who: Sixty Years of Adventure Volumes 1 and 2 to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary. Volume 1 will cover the First to Eighth Doctors, with Volume 2 to cover The War Doctor to The Fugitive Doctor. As well as reliving their adventures, there will be a new scenario for each incarnation that link together to form an epic multi-Doctor experience.


Preorders for both volumes to go live "very soon".

[tampahawke]

Oh. Totally looking forward to this.

[secondattemps]

While it will all inevitably be for 2e, just like the 13th Doctor Sourcebook I look forward to this stuff to see what I can convert back to 1e as it is exciting that these two books are coming

[Cyberlord]

Is this going to be like a sort of sourcebook compendium or omnibus for the previous Doctors, but updated for the 2nd edition? This line seems to point to it:

"These books relive the fantastic adventures of our favourite Time Lord and their trusted companions."

Not to mention that the previous sourcebooks have been out of stock on their website for awhile (and possibly out of print as well).

[imajica]

Interesting. Condense and update from the 1-13 sourcebooks, bringing everything up to the 2nd Edition ruleset. Look forward to seeing them, good to see they're actually timing this for the 60th anniversary rather than their usual "Hey, look, here's the new edition of the game with the new Doctor's branding" about a week after that doctor has announced their retirement and here's their replacement with the new branding.

It’s a big year for Doctor Who as the series reaches its sixtieth anniversary this November! We are delighted to announce that Cubicle 7 will mark the occasion with the release of TWO roleplaying game books celebrating the Doctor’s adventures!

Book One covers 1963-1996, from the First Doctor to the Eighth Doctor. Journey back to where it all began sixty years ago as the mysterious Doctor whisked away two unsuspecting school teachers in the TARDIS, travelling to distant planets, the far future, and Earth’s past. This book takes you through the Doctor’s classic adventures up to the Doctor’s dramatic regeneration into an incarnation more suited to the battle against the Daleks. From ‘An Unearthly Child’ to ‘Night of the Doctor’, relive the Doctor’s adventures and meet their most trusted companions. It offers a wealth of information for Gamemasters, players, and fans, to celebrate the anniversary of the world’s longest-running science fiction television series
In addition, each Doctor has a new adventure that mysteriously interweaves to create an epic multi-Doctor experience that spans millennia.

Is this basically just a reissue of the various Doctor sourcebooks?

Cubicle 7 have replied to a similar question on Facebook:


"Yes, it does reuse some of the rapidly-going-out-of-print old Doctor Sourcebooks material. However, it does provide Second Edition stats for all of the Doctors and many of their companions. There are new adventures that tie together to create a massive, multipart, multi-Doctor story. There's a revised section on Regeneration for Second Edition rules new summaries of the Doctor's adventures, and some lovely new artwork. We think they're well worth the purchase even if you have the previous books!"

[greyhame]

Looks like it's not worth it for me then - we only play 1e.

[lupercal]

Same here, greyhame, same here. Oh, well.

Friendly greetings,
Horus Lupercal.

While I do still frequently use 1e, I'll still be picking this up, if only for the adventures. Because I cannot help but love pre-written adventures, I'm a big sucker for them.

Same for me honestly, even though I have never actually ran any of them besides Stormfront (which I do recall being a blast). I simply enjoy reading through them, and while I don't play 2e I am curious as to how Regeneration will work in the 2e rules

Do you mean Stormrise? An excellent scenario, lots of possibiities for starting a campaign off it.

Yes I mean Stormrise, its been at least 3 years since I last looked at the title of it and I've slept at least once since then so I forgot

[Cyberlord]

They're both available for purchase now. I'm unable to skim through the contents of the PDFs as I'm currently at work right now.
