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
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
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.
- Teresa Monroe
- Jim Baker
- Alan Monroe
- Autons
- Nestene Consciousness
References
Cultural references from the real world
- Scene 3 was given the chapter heading "Coming Like a Ghost Town", in reference to the chorus from "Ghost Town" by The Specials.
- The Autons took the forms of various types of monsters one might find in a haunted house, including vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and the Grim Reaper.
Notes
- As with the other story included in the 2009 release of Adventures in Time and Space: The Roleplaying Game, this story was in part intended to introduce new players to the mechanics of the RPG system, including skill checks, chases, and combat.
- The printed edition featured no photos save for one character shot of the Tenth Doctor.
- The PDF used photos from the Eleventh Doctor stories The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, and The Eleventh Hour.
