- FASA are still in perfect working order (they publish the very popular
- Battletech series of games/books), but they lost the Dr Who licence a few
- years ago (nobody ever revealed the reason). There's a new Dr Who RPG
- called "Time Lord", published by Virgin in 1991 (ISBN 0-426-20362-3). It's
- simpler than the FASA game (basically, it's aimed primarily at DW fans
- rather than RPG fans), and I recommend it (I've got both games).
