Whovian Running Away From Some Grotesque Roaring Thing

I just posted, on a thread in the New Traveller Psionics playtest feedback forum, the following line.

Whovian running away from some grotesque roaring Thing they just disturbed

I do love these sorts of adventures, mostly because it's easier to implement for me than some quasi-military shenanigans, all spit shiny uniform buttons and ranks and trying to remember the difference betwen suppressing fire and covering fire and trying to work out if it's "Hoo-ah!", "Urrah!" or "Ooh-er!"

I do enjoy those light hearted moments when the crew look on at the Chief Engineer, who comes back with "She's three hundred years old! I didn't know she was his youngest daughter, did I?"

What is this thread about?

However, yes, I'm a child of Space:1999 and Dr Who (Baker mostly, but some Pertwee), one of the better game scenarios recently was the PC's dealing with Killer creatures in an abandoned old SORAG base on an Ice Planet, which really was kind of Whovian, now that I think of it.

I'd just watched the latest Doctor Who, and it struck me that the Traveller adventures I used to enjoy running, often solo, involved a character making his way across the sector, booking flights here and there, living out of a suitcase, solving problems as he goes - and mostly running down corridors, chased by some alien or other.

The last I saw of him, he and a Droyne Sport companion were on Rhylanor where they booked a flight heading, ultimately, for Mora, planning on heading out of the sector forever.

Here is an ice planet, don't know what kind of creatures you can expect to find on it though.

He's an illegal alien who sleeps in a phone booth and has two hearts, therefore also a medical tourist.

I hope they made it.

I want to like Peter Capaldi, I don't feel he is better than Matt Smith/David Tenant, they both were exceptionally good though.

Right now, in the campaign I'm ref of, the player's have made their way across quite a bit of space to find a lost Zhodani prototype ship that supposedly had a better jump drive. Part of what they had, as a major clue, was "the star globe" an artifact similar to a holographic projector's lens, and a stellar atlas, psi controlled of course. On the way there, plenty of side adventures, from humanitarian to grifty. Ships have a tendency to be like the tardis, except for the shooty parts of the adventure when they get to fly about and fight with other ships.
