Save for Half Episode #1: "Doctor Who RPG by FASA"

No, this isn't episode 3 of Save for Half. Thanks to the powers of the Time Vortex (and our forgetting to do otherwise) we're going back in time to give you episode 1 of the Save for half podcast! DM Corbett joins the podcast posse of DMs Mike, Liz and Jim to discover the mysteries of time and space...according to the 1985 FASA edition of the game. Watch out for disorganized rules, tactical combat movement, and always those pesky daleks in this episode of Save for Half!

A big part of the problem with FASA Dr. Who is that the system is essentially the FASA Star Trek system, with some bits bolted on to try and hide its origins. These days, with Cubicle 7's far superior product FASA Dr. Who is pretty much a curiosity and nothing more.

Though, your mention of the game has reminded me to look through it, and see what I can cherry pick from it for a personal project I'm doing.

Yeah, that was pretty much our conclusions as well. We haven't read the C7 version but we've heard good things about it.
