Doctor Who - Swafham Prior

Yesterday, we played episode 5 of our ongoing Doctor Who RPG campaign. "Swafham Prior" was something very special, as the players each had two different characters: Abby and Jordan from our usual campaign (2010) and two UNIT soldiers (Capt. Tom Stratton and Lt. Jeffrey Pearce) from 1973. The story of Abby and Jordan trying to find information on Abby's unknown father (Lt. Pearce) served as a frame for the actual adventure that Stratton and Pearce had in 1973 - it was losely based on the "fairy" episode of Torchwood and the novel "Who killed Kennedy". All in all, it was certainly an experience - albeit a bit taxing on the players (what with having two different characters to play).

The Abby and Jordan story was pretty much railroaded but it wouldn't really have worked otherwise, so everyone was okay with that. They basically just followed leads from one NPC to the next (Doris Lethbridge-Stewart -> widow of Maj. Sanders -> postman in Notting Hill -> Scotland Yard -> Capt. Jones of UNIT -> Birmingham). The episode ended with Birmingham asking them for help.

The next episode will be a lot easier again. I plan it to be pretty much a straight forward adventure. In the jungle. In Peru. Abby and Jordan will travel there undercover (as security specialists from UNIT), accompanied by Special Agent Ewan Barrett, to help Sir Alistair out with a serious problem - unfortunately they don't quite knoe what it is yet.

Episode 06 - "The Warkeeper's Oath" coming to you on Saturday, 30th.
