- To quote a recent Disney film, "*bzzzt* WRONG!"

- Time Lord is indeed a DW role-playing system, and a pretty good one
- at that. I've run three scenarios so far, and they've all been
- well enjoyed by the players. The system is very fast and loose, though
- the probability curve for the dice is really screwy.
-
- FASA's DW game has been out of print for some time. They didn't
- bother renewing the rights, and Docotr Who Books picked them up,
- hence the new game.
