The Doctor Who Roleplaying Game, formerly Doctor Who: Adventures in Time And Space is a role-playing game published by UK-based Cubicle 7 Entertainment. It is based on the BBC science fiction television programme Doctor Who, and allows roleplayers to adopt the role of characters from that fictional universe.
Unlike most RPGs, the rules featured in new editions of the game remain largely unchanged. The updates consist of layout, images, and characters with rules provided. The first edition matched the style of the David Tennant era, the second edition the Matt Smith, the third styled for the programme's fiftieth anniversary with characters and images from Day of the Doctor, while the fourth and most recent edition draws from the first series of the Peter Capaldi era. Beginning with the anniversary edition, the game shifted from the traditional European release format of a box containing dice, tokens, and multiple smaller books towards the American format of a large core rulebook.
The first edition core rules box set was released to critical acclaim in the fall of 2009.
A second edition, featuring significant changes to the ruleset, was released digitally by Cubicle 7 on 30 July 2021. A physical release is scheduled for Q2 2022.[1]
