Doctor Who: Pete's World Chronicles

"Parallel world; it's like a gingerbread house!"

- The Tenth Doctor ("Rise of the Cybermen")

 is an ongoing campaign for the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game (formerly known as Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space). It is centred on Pete's World (TV: Rise of the Cybermen) and a Time Lord from that universe known as The Mender; however, some stories may be set in other parallel universes as well as N-Space.

In a way similar to how the revived Doctor Who series has often included stories set in and around Cardiff, a large number of the stories set on Earth will feature Hampton Roads, as well as other areas of the United States.

Pete's World Chronicles is a spin-off of Doctor Who and therefore is set within the continuity of the Whoniverse.

History
From its original conception, Pete's World Chronicles was conceived as a campaign for the Doctor Who Roleplaying Game. Originally one season was written, but the story arc of that season was pushed to Season 2, as it was felt the story was rushed. As of October 2017, Season 1 has been fully planned out as far as the story arc and the premise of each episode; Season 2 is still mostly in planning stages but where the story is going as a whole has been decided.

Parallels to things in the Doctor Who universe will happen as this is set in an established parallel world, but one hopes that the storytelling will be original enough to bring enjoyment for all. A number of episodes are also based on existing media, from the Doctor Who universe as well as other franchises and stories;  the stories are tailored (read:  lovingly cannibalised) to fit the needs of the meta-story and characters.

Player Characters

 * The Learner
 * Katrina

Non-Player Characters

 * The Mender
 * The Merchant

Season 1
Season 1 saw the introduction of the Mender, and his new companions, Katrina and The Learner. The main story arc dealt with various ever-more-dangerous threats from other universes attempting to invade Pete's World, taking advantage of the cracks in the universe created by the Learner's and the Cybermen's crossing over from N-Space.

Prologue
The Prologue of Season 1 consists of prequels featuring the individual player characters of The Learner and Katrina.
