1985 FASA USA
Unlabelled Second Edition. Boxed with 3 books. Cover was a photo of the 4th Doctor and Leela in a black vortex that included many dates of years among the white stars. Cover contained a subtitle not on the original set: ‘Adventures in Time and Space’. It was lettered in white on the box cover and in red on the sides of the box; Box Set Contained Two Dice (one white, one black), FASA Product order form sheet [this helped determine the date of manufacture, the form included in this set was the white product form dated effective through October 1 (1986)], Three softcover booklets titled ‘Doctor Who Role Playing Game: Game Operations Manual’ (written by Wm. John Wheeler and Guy W. MacLimore Jr.) [80 pages], ‘Doctor Who Role Playing Game: The Player's Manual’ (written by Wm. John Wheeler and Guy W. MacLimore Jr.) [48 pages], ‘Doctor Who Role playing Game: A Sourcebook For Field Agents’ (written by Wm. John Wheeler, Guy W. MacLimore Jr., and Patrick Larkin) [64 pages]; The three softcover books were printed on tan coloured cardstock for the cover and featured a very Victorian design and included a TARDIS on the cover; The manuals each featured a different colour background around the title of the manual: yellow for the ‘Game Operations Manual’, purple for ‘The Players Manual’, and lime green for ‘A Sourcebook for field agents’; These three softcover books did NOT feature photos and stats for the sixth Doctor in them. Co-author Guy W. MacLimore Jr. was not sure why this was the case, though he suspected that the license FASA was granted for the game did not include the sixth Doctor so in the reprint all items and references to the Sixth Doctor might have had to be removed – this fact often confuses people into believing this to be an earlier set
