Adventure Seed overload
Most likely nobody will end up making pages for all of the games in this book, let alone for the rest of the 50th Anniversary series, but I figured I'd lay out some reasoning. As a whole, there are about three "Further Adventures" for each television story in this book, extrapolating that to The Power of the Doctor, there would be over 900 pages for one or two paragraph-long scenarios. Very interesting scenarios, yes, but that's too much for any editor to do, not a good use of time.
Luckily, I notice that only a handful of scenarios in this game are labelled "Adventure Seeds", these being the ones at the beginning which are original stories not based on a serial. The scenarios based on serials are explained at the start of the book as being in the "Further Adventures" sections of each Adventure adapting a TV story; therefore, they are part of those games rather than distinct games themselves, sections of something larger.
For now, since we don't have these pages, I'll leave the table as-is, but probably in the future if anyone makes pages for these games, it would be prudent to include the "Further Adventures" as sections of the Adaptational games. Then that would only be about 300 pages, lmao. TheChampionOfTime ☎ 15:10, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
