Timelord Dr. Who RPG on line

When I put my old Time Lord Doctor Who RPG adventure Curse of the Conqueror on line last year I didn't realise that the game itself has also been put on line by its authors:

http://www.torsononline.com/hobbies/timelord/main.htm

The site includes PDFs of Time Lord, unfortunately without most of the original illustrations, and some material which as far as I know was never printed; a supplement Timelord: Journies which is VERY nicely illustrated, files on The Dominators and The Rutans and some very pretty PBEM rules. There's also a "coming soon" link for another rules supplement and an adventure.

What I don't see there anywhere is a contact address, which is a shame because I would really like to tell them that Curse of the Conqueror is on line. If anyone has contact details please let me know.

That's Nathaniel Torson's page. He's not one of the authors, but he does have permission from them to put the game online. His email address is (or was, last year) nathaniel at whitehorseinc.com.

Thanks - I'll drop him an email.

Fantastic. Thank you.

... do I remember Curse of the Conqueror from White Dwarf?

No - it was in a low-circulation British magazine (not WD, one of the less succesful ones that appeared in the early nineties but I forget which one) and Challenge in the USA.

I've seen these rules in various places over the years but the Journies book is a new one on me - as are the Dominator and Rutan supplements.

If you like these, you might also like the free, fan made - but actually very very good - Doctor WHO miniatures rules (http://www.drwhominiatures.co.uk/latest.html)

Thanks for posting your scenario. I'm thinking of running a game sometime soon and I might just make it this one...

Might as well be on line - any Who RPG released in the next few years will undoubtedly be based on the current incarnation, not older versions, and their treatment of the nature of time etc. is so different that the scenario probably wouldn't be adaptable.
