The Master (The Doctor Who Role Playing Game)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Master is a supplement published by FASA in 1985 for The Doctor Who Role Playing Game, which is based on the long-running BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who.
The Master contains information about The Doctor's nemesis, The Master. The supplement is divided into two books: a 64-page gamemaster's booklet with accurate background information about The Master, including history, background, and activities, as well as notes on how to give The Master an authentic feel, and statistics for some other opponents of The Doctor, including Daemons, The Nestene Consciousness, Axos and Ogrons; and a 24-page booklet with information for players titled "The Master – CIA File Extracts", supposedly written by the Celestial Intervention Agency. The information in the player's book may or may not be accurate. As reviewer Barry Bailey noted, "the players' booklet is carefully compiled as a mixture of truth, inaccuracies, lies, damn lies and statistics."[1] Although these two booklets were originally sold together, they are usually found separately on the used book market. Since there have been more players than gamemasters, the player's booklet is rarer than the gamemaster's book.
