I don't quite see HOW it's a role playing game... It's just as much a role playing game as Final Fantasy VIII is. Sure, you can choose the characters name, but where you go, what you do, and how is basically set out for you.

:Well, they ARE role-playing games. There's no denying that. That's what the technical name for both ''are''. ''However'', the aforementioned [[T:CANON]] bit was made before Worlds in Time was even announced. We threw out ''tabletop RPGs'' years ago, not MMOs. Does the rationale for disallowing the FASA settings really count for Worlds in Time as well, given the divergence computer RPGs have made over time? | |||
:Of course, reading [[T:CANON]]'s reason for disallowing the RPGs, ''television and prose stories'' conflict with television and prose stories, but we still allow them. So, could someone who was there at the time explain better for disallowing FASA's settings? | |||
:Also, I disagree that we can't write about anything from that game. We can't refer to what the companions did to complete the stories, but we can still say "alien V invaded planet W" or "NPC X belonged to organisation Y and lived in City Z". | |||
:Though just to clarify, did the Eleventh Doctor actually do anything in the game's missions, or did he simply land the TARDIS to start of the players' missions in whichever locale? -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 19:51, March 23, 2012 (UTC) | |||
