I have an odd question - I downloaded Timelord following a link that I found here - and I found it to be full of useful information that I can import into DWAITAS - what I wanted to know is - has anyone done a conversion from Timelord to DWAITAS?
Secondly, I have never read the original FASA Doctor Who game - is Timelord and that one and the same? I thought I heard that Timelord was a revamp of the origianl Doctor Who RPG but I am not sure (having never actually read it) Any thoughts?
Thanks Todd

First off, no, the Timelord game was completely seperate from the FASA version of the game. The FASA system was one that was a variation of FASA's Ster Trek system, while Timelord was its own self contained system.
I never could get into Timelord, not the least of all because it didn't provide any real system for character creation, and assumed that everyone would want to play the Doctor and his existing companions. It was aimed more at fans of the show who were NOT roleplayers. Consequently, the system always seemed very flat and uninteresting to me.
The FASA system was clunky but had a certain charm to it. you can still find copies of it at reasonable prices on eBay and other places. FASA went into a lot of detail on some of the major villains, with supplements on The Master, The Daleks, and The Cybermen... some might say TOO much detail since they seem to have made up a few facts.
Still, it was a lot of fun.
I'm not sure if someone has done a conversion for Timelord, but I do have a FASA conversion somewhere on here...

Thanks Todd There are Time Lord to DWAITS conversion notes that I wrote in the Write-Ups section of the board. Allen
