City of Gold (game)
City of Gold was the sixth of the seven standalone fiction modules released as books by FASA as tie-ins to The Doctor Who Role Playing Game. The book included a basic Plot Synopsis, as well as more detailed breakdowns of various stages of the adventure (including a prologue and epilogue written in full narrative prose, and scene breakdowns in "The Adventure" and "Gamemaster's Notes"), and background on the various characters and other worldbuilding elements.
As per standard for these stories, the plot was presented as able to support multiple combinations of player CIA field operative characters, including the Fifth Doctor as well as two other Time Lords: the Don and Lady Mara, and their respective companions.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
Dinosaurs in the twenty-first century? That was only the first mystery that confronted the Time Lord and his Companions when they set out to investigate a violent revolution in an age of turmoil, and stumbled into a plot that could end human history — and change the universe forever. A lost city and a vanished race from the depths of time and [sic] hold the key to the destiny of the Earth, unless the adventurers can penetrate the mysteries of the City of Gold.

- The Silurian time loop threatens the Prime Reality.
- Somewhere in the various alternate timelines, there is an Earth which has never had alien contact or other unusual elements such as WOTAN or UNIT. If this timeline became the Prime Reality, ripples of time would spread so that Gallifrey would cease to exist as anything other than fiction in the entertainment of some Earth storytellers.
