Bulletin #1
The Unofficial Official Forum
Angus from Cubicle 7 has confirmed that there will be an official game site, but no official forum.
Dominic from Cubicle 7 has also contacted us and we are now in direct communication with him, so, consider that an endorsement, albeit an 'unofficial official' endorsement.
We can operate as an independent forum, plus we have the blessing of the Big Cahunas. What could be better? Well, getting an advance copy of the game.
Which we haven’t.
Releases
The official news is that the game will be in stores on Wednesday 9th December, with preorders going out in the UK on Wednesday 9th December and in the U.S. on Monday 7th December (lucky U.S.).
Previous Dr Who Roleplaying Games
While this forum is created specifically for the new roleplaying game we do acknowledge the previous games Time Lord and the Dr Who RPG by FASA.
I and many others have enjoyed these games immensely and I have very fond memories of playing these.
To avoid confusing younger or new players, sub-forums have been created in Off-Topic that members can access while the main forum is dedicated to supporting the new game by Cubicle 7 and the BBC.
Ad-Free?
We considered making the site ad-free but when reading through the info decided not to for these reasons:
*Minimum payment is $7 for 1 month, to get 50,000 views without ads.
*This does not carry-over, so if we get 7,000 views for example this month, tough, next month we have to donate again.
*It appears there is only 1 ad on view.
The $7 does not actually give us any more benefits for the site other than ad-free viewing: no bandwidth increase, nothing, period.
Purchasing a domain etc. is all pre-embryonic at this point and if this takes off in a big bandwidth-sucking way, then we will of course seriously consider it.
A Word about Privacy & Policy
The admin does not share, sell or reveal any personal details, email addresses etc. of the members to anyone whatsoever.
The admin and staff will also not lord it over members, make unnecessary bans or lock threads on a whim. We are here as caretakers and to maintain a level of safety for members.
