When I read the blurb about the book I thought it would be a worthwhile purchase that could give some interesting fantasy gaming based information and advice about castles and the engineering there in. Something along the lines of "Don't make these stupid mistakes when design and presenting your castle to your players." Something that would help. "The structure of a castle directly effects it's ability to withstand siege but before 30 ft deep walls it's kinda a waste. Don't go overboard." Something interesting and useful.

However, instead what I find is a random castle generator. There is no engineering at all. Nothing but a random castle society and structure generator. Nothing about engineering at all.

It might be useful to someone... but I wouldn't say it's as advertised. Again, it might be something you find useful and it could possibly incite new ideas for castles that you haven't already thought up... But not what I was looking for.

The biggest complaint I have with the product is that you HAVE to play the Doctor. The older games allowed you to create other Timelords that you could play. The idea of ONLY being able to play the 10th Dr was very disappointing. Sure, include the stats for the various Drs, but let us have our own adventures rather than trying to fangirlishly attempt to insert ourselves into the established canon.

Yes, I know all the other Timelords are dead according to canon... But none of the adventures that would happen in this game are canon either.

sigh Other than this huge disappointment... The presentation is slick. The rules are sadly meh. I'd planned on using it as just a flavor book to read and enjoy... but there isn't enough here for that. If they'd included more stuff from the other regenerations... maybe...

Very much felt like a cash grab instead of a real attempt to turn the Dr Who Universe into a real RPG. Each time I come across it in my "you own this list", I go "damn... what a waste of money."
