IC: Doctor Who

I’m considering running a Doctor Who game and want to check if there’s interest.

The Doctor would be an NPC indirectly controlled by the group. The PCs would be original companions in the style seen in the show. Generally good, if inexperienced. Human or alien, but nothing too powerful. So no Time Lords. We'd generally stick with short, self-contained stories in the Monster of the Week mould. Nothing pre-planned story-wise, I’d run things like an Apocylpse Engine game. Start with a rough idea and play to see what happens. If there’s enough interest I would form small 3-4 player groups. System would be Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space.

So, any takers?

I'm always interested in a DWAITAS game. :)

I'd be interested in a Doctor Who game, though I don't have a copy of the rules. Would that be a problem?

In reply to seraphmoon (msg # 4):

It’s a fairly simple system so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Hmm...

I'm curious, would a Doctor Who game get more or less interest if it used a different system? Something like Fate Core / Accelerated or a Powered by the Apocalypse hack, perhaps? Risus even?

My interest is specfically around the DWAITAS system as I don't have the others. :)

I have DWAITAS and would be interested in this.  I've wanted to try the system out for a while now, and watching old episodes of Eric's TBD RPG over on Alpha is only scratching the itch so far.

Well, that’s four. Let’s see if we can get this off the ground.
