=== Playing chess with Daleks === | |||
[[File:A Game of Daleks.png|thumb|left|The Toymaker's chess game using Daleks as one side may have constituted a rematch with the First Doctor. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|A Game of Daleks (game)}})]]At one time, [[the Toymaker's dimension]] took the form of a "strange-looking plan, all made from coloured wood and angular blocks" which was actually the bottom of a humongous "toy box". The "vast landscape" was dotted with [[doll's house]]s and various giant living toys in service of the Toymaker, including a number of [[Toy Soldier]]s and two giant [[teddy bear]]s. The most salient feature of that toy box was a [[the Toymaker's board|giant chessboard]], on which he made a group of [[Dalek]]s he'd ensnared compete with a group of [[Adventurers (Player's Guide)|adventurers]] whose [[TARDIS]] he'd subsequently drawn out of [[the Vortex]] — a group which may have included the [[First Docto]] or sundry other possibilities. | |||
With the Daleks being determined to destroy the Toymaker's dimension if they were freed, it was likely destroyed in the aftermath, and one possible outcome was that the Toymaker would be forced to abandon it altogether, stealing the Daleks' ship and eventually washing up on [[Middle Ages|mediaeval]] [[Earth]]. Upon scouting out said village in the course of their own journeys, the escaped adventurers would soon discover the rumours about "the [[King (A Game of Daleks)|King]]'s new toymaker" who was said to be a "[[warlock]]".([[GAME]]: {{cs|A Game of Daleks (game)}}) | |||
