Introduction for Field Agents (feature)

Introduction for Field Agents was the opening section of The Player's Manual which introduced players to FASA's The Doctor Who Role Playing Game. It outlined the universe which the game took place in, introducing players to their roles as CIA field operatives.

Summary

An opening section introduces the concept of a role playing game and how to play it.

The next section details how players fit into the Doctor Who universe. They are playing a team of CIA field operatives led by an Apprentice Time Lord working for the Celestial Intervention Agency who has stolen a TARDIS from a repair station on Gallifrey and picked up adventurous companions from Earth to aid in their quest to restore the flow of time.

A third section outlines the rest of the content in The Player's Manual.

The field operatives may include the Doctor, Romana, Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, Sarah Jane Smith, or Leela.
Earth is the Doctor's adopted home.

Several future subjects for RPG expansions are mentioned: Daleks, Cybermen, the Age of Rassilon, and UNIT. Only the first two expansions would be published, The Daleks and The Cybermen. More is known about the unproduced Gallifrey.
