Dr Who: The Oncoming Storm

[i]The Last Great Time War rages across the universe. Millions die every second, lost in bloodlust and insanity, with time itself resurrecting them to find new ways of dying over and over and over again. And now, Arcadia has fallen, and a Dalek fleet is bombarding Gallifrey. The Time Lords quail in absolute terror. The Last Day has begun.

But before the end, before the Moment, before the end of time itself, there is a last, desperate chance for peace. Caught within the time lock, the Daleks have sent envoys offering a treaty. Lord President Rassilon has assembled an Emergency High Council to hear them, and to agree plans for the future of Gallifrey when they have escaped. And from outside the time lock, The Doctor has arrived - two of him! Can he untangle their temporal knot, and break their bubble of stasis? And can Time Lords and Daleks end their apocalyptic war that has ravaged time and space? Or will it all burn?[/i]

“The Oncoming Storm” is a game of politics, science fiction, and emotional introspection for 13 players by Tony Vila and Aili Klein. It lasts 6 hours and has lengthy character sheets. All background is provided so a complete newcomer to the “Doctor Who” television show can enjoy the game, but fans of the canon will find a lot of it brought together in these characters.

I know the format might make this one a bit difficult, but if people are interested in playing it, I’m interested in running it. Date chosen for the nearest appropriate Dr Who anniversary.

I’m currently looking at the afternoon of Saturday, march 26 for this event, using Petone Community House as a venue. I’ll be posting a casting form as soon as I have venue confirmation.

And we’re now full. But don’t despair - I’ll need a waitlist, and there are always dropouts.

And so it came to pass that the Last Great Time War ended - not in mutual annihilation, but in victory! The Daleks were defeated, their grand fleet trapped eternally in the time lock above the shattered ruins of Old Gallifrey. The Time Lords escaped, built themselves a new world, and sent their agents to hunt down the few remnants of Dalek-kind.

Gallifrey victorious! The Time Lords triumphant! From now, until the End Of Time Itself!
