Hi Arundel, my friend and I played a fun Doctor Who style Pulp Alley game a few years ago (though for a laugh we changed all the names to a more Pulp style e.g. the Professor instead of the Doctor). My pal wrote up the attributes used for our hero:

"The Prof stats were 3d10 in Dodge, Might, Finesse & Cunning, 2d8 Brawl & Shoot. I don't think he initiated a combat in the whole game and dodged out of any he was involved in.

Ability wise he was given
Danger Sense (automatically passing 1st peril each turn)
Deductive (Draw 1 Fortune card instead of an action)
Finagler (Once per turn shift Finesse or Cunning up 1 die)

Oh and he had a bag of brightly coloured jellies  "

Full details here:

I hope you have lots of fun & Who adventures! :)

Hi Skirmisher! I greatly appreciate the input, sir, thank you. Loved reading your AAR (and I never would have found it on a "Doctor Who" search, and I may well steal your ideas on abilities. I'm feeling pretty well armed now and look forward to several games this week to test everything out. Thanks again!

Hopefully not too late for you to take a look at.

I've put all my Dr Who Pulp Alley material up on my blog https://nozzawargaming.blogspot.com/search/label/Pulp%20Alley.


There maybe something you can reuse.

Oh my God. That is a gold mine, Nozza. I don't have time to look properly now, but plan to visit you blog again and again to lift ideas for my own games. Love how you've represented the Daleks (the only leagues I've looked at so far). THANK YOU.  :-*

I often use the "Animal" ability for Doctor-like characters that simply won't shoot.  I just give it a different name like "Fists of Fury" for Bruce Lee type characters.  The Doctor would never use a gun!

If you have watched Genesis of the Daleks, you would be able to have the Doctor and Harry and Sarah as your League  with various guests such as Mutants, Kaled Scientists and the like.

Against them you would have Kaleds (proto-Daleks) with Davros and Nyder  and guards with MGs, Thals, Mutos maybe.

Although sadly no K-9 or UNIT.

Another option having UNIT initially confronting the Daleks/Cybermen with the Doctors League showing up later.
