Before we get too carried away with this larger
book, first ask yourself, ‘What is my role in the
game?’
This book is aimed at the Gamemaster. This
is the person who acts as storyteller - starting
the story by deciding the plot for the adventure,
setting the scene by describing to the other
players what is going on and interpreting the
outcomes of the players’actions. They also have
the final decision on how the rules of the game
are applied.
Chapter Six - You Are Not Alone contains lots of
advice on being the Gamemaster.
If you’re going to play a character, and are
not planning on running the game as
the Gamemaster, you don’t need to
read this book (the Player’s Guide
explains these terms). There
is nothing here that will
spoil the game for you if you
do read it, it just contains
additional information you
don’t need to know (but don’t
read the Adventures Book –
that would spoil the introductory
adventure for you).
Chapters two and three of the Gamemaster’s
Guide and the Player’s Guide are similar, so
don’t worry if you think you’ve read bits before.
They cover the creation of characters and the
actual rules of the game, so we thought it would
be best if both the players and the Gamemaster
could access the information at the same
time. The Gamemaster’s Guide does cover the
information in a little more detail, and provides
some extra options for more advanced games.
The rules chapter, Chapter Three: The Long
Game , goes into more detail and offers additional
advice for the Gamemaster to make running the
game a fun and smooth experience.
So, that said, let’s get on with the action!

The example of a game in the Player’s Guide
introduces just about everything you’ll need to
know in Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and
Space . Any time a character does something
they may or may not succeed at, the player needs
to roll some dice. You, as the Gamemaster, will
determine how difficult these tasks are, or what

fantasy tabletop wargames.
Besides dice, you need something to keep
track of Story Points. Again, we’ve thought of
everything and provided some handy counters
for you to keep track of the fast and furious
exchanges of Story Points that’ll occur during
the average game. If you need more, you can
photocopy the counter sheet or use poker chips,
markers, tiddlywinks or even jellybabies. These
Story Points could save your character’s life
at some point, so it’s vital to keep track of how
many you have. We’ll explain Story Points in
Chapter Three: The Long Game .

the Villains try to do to stop them.
If they beat the number they succeed and can
perform the task, whether it’s jumping a gap,
winning an argument or dodging a gun blast.
If they don’t beat the number, the characters
have failed to accomplish the task. This could
have severe effects and change the course
of the game, but it makes for an interesting
story. Either way, rolling dice and adding some
numbers is as complex as it gets when it comes
to rules. So you’re going to need some dice.
You’ll have no doubt seen the small cubes with
dots or numbers on them that you have in copies
of Monopoly, Risk or Ludo. Anyway, those cubes
are six-sided dice (cause they have six sides).
People who game a lot with other roleplaying
games call them D6s, so they don’t get confused
with other dice with different numbers of sides
on them. You should find a handful of dice in this
set, though if you need more you can pick up
dice in many different colours and styles from
hobby game stores, some department stores and
bookstores, and places where they sell those
This is the second book in the Doctor Who:
Adventures in Time and Space box. You were
probably directed to the Player’s Guide initially,
thanks to the ‘Read This First’ sheet. You’ll
already have noticed that we’ve presented you
with a lot of information! To make it a little
easier, here is what you need to look for.
The Player’s Guide provides the players with
all the information they’ll need to
play the game and create new
characters, as well as some
guidance to help make playing
the game the best experience
possible.
This book, the Gamemaster’s
Guide , is similar to the
Player’s Guide , though it
skips some of the walk-
through examples and basic
descriptions and goes into a
little more detail where you
need it. This information is
vital to the Gamemaster,
and rather than have
to keep passing one
book between all of
the players, the
Gamemaster can
keep hold of this
one. It also provides
the Gamemaster
with information
on Time Travel

Aliens (Chapter
Five), how
