The War Games was the twenty-first and final adventure in The Second Doctor Sourcebook, adapted from the TV story of the same name.

Summary

The plot follows the television story, with variance depending on how it is played.

Further Adventures

In the first scenario, the War Chief is revealed to have regenerated. He still has an ambition to rule the galaxy. Adventurers may encounter several of his schemes, with his new incarnation probably going by a new title.

In the second scenario, some of the soldiers from the War Game who crossed zones during the battle may have brought back advanced weaponry from the future when they were returned to their native times.

In the third scenario, the Time Lords may have made a mistake in returning the soldiers and someone may have been deposited at a different era than the one they came from.

Characters

• Adventurers
• The War Chief
• Alien commander
• Time Lord Councillors
• The War Lord
• Jennifer Buckingham

Worldbuilding

• Instead of dying, the War Chief may have regenerated and escaped in a SIDRAT. His new incarnation could look like anyone.
• If the Time Lords rewrote history at the end of the War Game, then technically it never happened for its participants.
• All the Time Lord Councillors have regenerated at least once.

Notes

to be added

Continuity

• The possibility of the War Chief escaping and regenerating had previously been explored in contradictory ways in PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus ^[+]Loading...["Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)"], where he adopts the persona of Felix Kriegslieter, and in GAME: The Legions of Death ^[+]Loading...["The Legions of Death (game)"], where he retains the name of "the War Chief" while posing as the god of the Sacred Wood. Additionally, PROSE: Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon ^[+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon (novelisation)"] suggested that he survived as the Master, thus setting a precedent for the idea that a regenerated War Chief might choose a different title.
