Doctors and Daleks, our #dnd5e conversion of Doctor Who The Roleplaying Game, is out this Tuesday! So I thought I'd share some insights into what has changed from #dnd, what's the same, and what we've brought over from the Doctor Who RPG Just like regular DnD, you'll pick your Species and Class. For Species, you can choose from Human, Sontaran, Silurian (Welsh or Wenley Moor), and Time Lord. There are no preset Ability Scores, you can choose those yourself, but there are recommendations (such as Str for Sontaran)

One of the most interesting things about releasing a Not DnD RPG has been seeing how much DnD has shaped what players expect from a game. And if those things aren't there or are different, hoo-boy does it throw folks off! First big one is not having Challenge Ratings on enemies. Most people straight up can't cope if there is no CR. It really floored me. This was intentional in Soulbound, as character progress is so open that we simply couldn't account for the possible party compositions.
