Doctor Who Role Playing Game [BOX SET]
For fans this boxed set by FASA represents a mine of source material. I'm no expert on the series, but it looks like the writers put a lot of love into the writing.

The 1st printing on the left (white books) contains information on the 6th Doctor missing in the later printings.

Doctor Who RPG (FASA, 1985): Roleplay Among the Classic Time Lords

-Wayne

"The Master has stolen a weapon that will give him ultimate control of the universe and of time itself. The Daleks are invading Earth. The Cybermen are terrorizing the space lanes. And the Sontarians and the Rutans are battling to see who wins the galaxy.
"Only YOU, the Time Lords and Companions of the Celestial Intervention Agency, can stop these villains from changing the course of history. Your weapons are your wits and your TARDIS. To join the Doctor in his adventures to defeat the foes of the universe, you only need your imagination, a pencil, some paper, and this game!"

The set contains 3 books:
• A Player's Manual containing character creation rules, rules for play, and a glossary of game terms.
• A Game Operations Manual with suggestions on creating adventures, hints for adventure presentation, information on the creation of the campaign world, and rules for judging.
• A Sourcebook for Field Operatives containing a Time Traveller's Handbook, TARDIS Operator's Manual, Visitor's Guide to Gallifrey, equipment descriptions, and much background information."

The Warrior's Code
Photo is a shrinkwrap copy, still on the original FASA hang card. Passed through the shop in March 2015. -W

"A collision in the Vortex with an unknown timeship... a forced materialization on the rocky seaside cliffs of feudal Japan... a power play among the samurai warlords who wield absolute power in an ancient and mysterious realm. For the Time Lord and his Companions, these were only the first steps in a dangerous game, where one man's ambition could bring the collapse of human history.
Stranded, cut off from help or contact with Gallifrey, the time travelers must band
together to free themselves from old Japan, history from a madman's plot, and humanity itself from oblivion in a distant but all-too-real future.
To achieve their goals, the adventurers must learn to understand the shifting politics and timeless culture of the Land of the Rising Sun. They must come to understand the samurai and their Bushido... The Warrior's Code."

Timelord

TIMELORD: Adventures Through Time and Space
"[Time Lord] is a set of rules for an RPG - a role-playing game - based on the BBC science fiction series "Dr Who." The rules are incredibly simple and easy to grasp, and capture the sense of the series well. Players are the Doctor and companions - there is no character generation system, although there is an appendix on how to produce stats for yourself (!). Attributes range from 1-10. The rules are deliberately simplistic, relying on a novel 'beat the difference' system. You have a skill level, and a difficultly level. You roll 2d6, and the result is the diffence between them. If the skill level plus the result is *more* than the difficulty, you have succeeded. This streamlining is the game's principal strength, but the source of its main weakness - its granularity. The rules miss out on a couple of points - such as what happens if someone has no points in a skill and wants to do some disguise or tracking anyway... This game suffered from very bad placement (in other words, it was sold with Dr Who books, not with the RPGs) and there have been no official supplements other than a couple of Dr Who magazine articles." ...an Amazon reviewer
