The Player's Manual was the first of the three books included in the original September 1985 FASA Doctor Who Role Playing Game Game Box Set, alongside Game Operations Manual and A Sourcebook for Field Agents.
It was largely devoid of fictional content, instead serving as a guide for a prospective game-master on how to design original adventures, characters, monsters and so on. However, it included an entire, non-role-playing short story, Tabby Cats And Time Lords, intended to serve as an example of a typical DWU adventure.
Contents[[edit] | [edit source]]

- Defining a Character
- Tabby Cats And Time Lords
- Creating Player Characters
