Doctor Who Roleplaying Game: The Black Archive has arrived from our friends across the pond at Cubicle 7. The new supplement allows players to take on new roles for UNIT while providing gamemasters with plenty of info about the most unusual collection of artifacts on Earth. The 144 page book is currently only in PDF through DriveThruRPG but the print edition should hit our shores this Spring.
From Cubicle 7:
The Tower of London: home to ravens, Beefeaters and one of the most extensive collections of esoteric alien artefacts on Earth.
Under the stewardship of UNIT, The Black Archive is charged with finding, storing and understanding the weirdest and most powerful alien Gadgets that come to our planet. Just as this unbelievably valuable and dangerous collection has expanded, so has UNIT itself evolved. No longer solely a military organisation, in the 21st Century UNIT agents are as likely to be diplomats and investigators as they are soldiers.
The Black Archive details the 21st Century organisation that collects, catalogues and protects some of the most incredible artefacts the Earth has ever known, and the collection itself.
