Arrowdown was an adventure written for Adventures in Time and Space: The Roleplaying Game. It was included with the initial 2009 release of the game. It was later released as a free PDF in 2013.

The initial release described the story as an adventure for the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones, while the 2013 PDF release retooled it as an adventure for the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond. As this was a story created for a role-playing game, the actual characters could be switched out for any Doctor Who character, or indeed original creations.

Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]

The player characters arrive on a beach, seemingly in the mid-1950s. However owing to a time rift created by Dalek technology and monitored by Torchwood, the beach and the surrounding town of Arrowdown are fluctuating between different time zones.

Characters[[edit] | [edit source]]

Note that due to the RPG nature of this story this list excludes the Doctor and their companions, as they may be swapped out for any characters.
