Stormrise was an adventure included in the Twelfth Doctor version of the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game sourcebook.

Publisher's summary

In this adventure the characters visit a coastal village as it is engulfed by a horrific storm. Hiding in the storm is an evil force that seeks control of powerful Time Lord technology. Can the characters hold off disaster?

Characters

Note that due to the fluid, interactive nature of tabletop roleplaying games, not all of these characters will be encountered during the story and/or may be swapped out or modified at the Gamemaster's discretion. All names are as presented in the text.

Worldbuilding

Time Lords and the Time War

  • During the Time War, three Time Lords trying to escape the time lock created the Vector Key, a means of allowing time travel that uses empathic circuits to form a psychic bond, allowing three or more people to travel in time and space. The Vector Key escaped the Time War and crashed on Earth without its operators.

Notes

  • The opening premise of this adventure - a coastal village beset by storms - is not dissimilar to that of the very first Doctor Who Roleplaying Game adventure, Arrowdown.
  • As with other stories included in rulebook releases, no specific writer is credited for this story.
  • Promotional photos and screencaps used to illustrate moments from this adventure include In the Forest of the Night, Listen, The Caretaker, and Mummy on the Orient Express.
