The game system was originally devised for the ''Doctor Who Roleplaying Game'' but has since been put to use for other titles. The system was also used for Cubicle 7's RPG based on the TV series ''Primeval''. At initial release in 2012, the ''Primeval'' RPG was marketed as being cross-compatible with the ''Doctor Who Roleplaying Game''. As of 2016, the ''Primeval ''RPG and its expansions are out of print. | The game system was originally devised for the ''Doctor Who Roleplaying Game'' but has since been put to use for other titles.
