Traveller :- Torchwood / Dr Who supplement

[IanBruntlett]

Hi,

The title says it all

I know a couple of people who are Dr Who fans who might try their hand at gaming if offered the chance to do that in a Dr Who / Torchwood scenario.

Thoughts?

Well another company have the licence: http://www.cubicle-7.com/

Cubicle 7 has the Who license, but I'm not sure if it extends to Torchwood. I doubt the Beeb would agree to another license being issued at the same time.

Edit: Ninja'd

And hobbits can't be Ninjas? That's discrimination!

On topic for the thread: (since this is the Mongoose forums)

Make a generic supplement for Traveller using the SRD that has access to higher tech gear for aliens and those who travell in space and or time (or who have contact with said aliens). Tweak psionics to fit, use alien traits, create new as needed. Suggest having some sort of cinema option, perhaps even some sort of action, fate, or hero points.

That way you could also do X-Com, X-Files etc. type play too.

Or do the same using GORE, which is designed for multi-period investigative games, from low to future tech.

Semi-Off-Topic:
Now if you just want to game it, pick your favorite modern day + powers and creatures / aliens game and run with it. Say something like Call of Cthulhu / BRP / GORE or the Angel RPG mixed with various AFMBE supplements (Pulp and All Tomorrow's Zombies?). Hardly the only options though.

It has been hinted that Cubicle 7 might get to do a Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures games if Dr Who goes well.
